Dinged...oh well, time to focus elsewhere.

Dinged here, as well. Best of luck to those of you who got invites!

Dinged. Good luck to all who have interviews coming up.

Dinged. And feeling quite like an idiot on top. If a 770 GMAT and the best two essays of those I submitted can't get me an interview, or get me waitlisted - then I either made some silly error, or my profile just isn't good enough. Which means that's pretty much the final verdict for my 2013 applications. Apologies for the rant. Nonetheless, honest congratulations to those who made it!

Don't be discouraged. YOu have to realize there are so many ridiculously accomplished people who apply to Harvard, and even more that self select out of the applicant pool. It's the biggest reason I decided not to apply.

Dinged as well. Good luck to everyone that got an interview.

Dinged! Now moving on to Round 2 applications while waiting for decisions from other schools. Haha! Chin up, fellas! You're better than a four-letter word (ding).
