haha agree... I've started tentatively looking up the admit weekends (which of course are overlapping with eachother/previously booked commitments) and the start dates for each school to think about pre-school travel options. Its all becoming very real and am trying to cope by planning around the unknown!


equestrian, looking at your admit stats you my friend are on a roll! :-D

I'm rooting for you to go 5/5 tomorrow, best of luck!

Congrats! Also, I love how we have the same admit/reject stats for the schools we applied too. Seriously, who needs Columbia/Stanford anyways. :P


Hahaha, this is awesome, I still can't believe that I came out the other side with an acceptance!

Has anybody submitted the Employment verification form to Re Vera ? Do you receive an email from them acknowledging the receipt of payment ?


I submitted it yesterday, yet I have received no email confirmation yet.


Thanks.

Can any R1 admits shed some light on what happens with Employment verification after the form is submitted ?


Unless there is some additional information that Re Vera need from you (in which case they will contact you by email) they will just do a background check on you and you should see a check mark on your checklist within 3-4 weeks. Nothing big to worry about..

Hi query007,

R1er here. Congrats on your admission!

Re Vera should contact you within the next few days to confirm the reception of your authorization form, and maybe a couple of times after that in case they need more info on a job or an internship. They did not confirm the payment to me. I also got a notification once the process was complete and it took HBS a couple of weeks to check the box on the prematric site.

So really nothing to lose sleep over :wink:

I just received my FAFSA application report and had a question for people who have gone through the financial aid process. How did the FAFSA EFC contribution compare to your HBS yearly contribution for the financial aid formula?

Thanks in advance!!!


My FAFSA EFC was less than my HBS student contribution amount - by about 3/5. However, you can take out loans to cover the student contribution amount (I was worried at first that they expected me to have that cash on-hand...)

Thanks for the quick reply, I was kind of shocked at how high my FAFSA EFC was, I guess my HBS contribution is going to be even higher. :(


Not necessarily. That was just how mine worked out. I don't know what kind of formula they use. Don't despair - just keep reminding yourself that you are going to HBS :)

str1der - you may want to post these slides up. They're from Dee's webinar and provides a good framework for thinking about HBS admissions.

Let the games begin. Good luck to all!

I have already started my first essay and have a couple different drafts that are pretty strong. I am having a tougher time with the second. If I want it to be a classic failure essay or switch it into a short-coming and here is why HBS is perfect for me right now type essay.

Any thoughts?

Count me in as well.. Want to prove I am good enough for the best, going to give this one my all..

Also well into the first essay (outline is done). Its not as strong as any of the essays I read in the book "65 successful Harvard essays" but what can you do? Gotta give it the best shot I can.

For the second essay I am going the sincere short coming and this is why Harvard is perfect for me right now approach.
