Hey guys,

Sorry to be pessimistic here but mkwpadxs' invitation and the "update" e-mail some of us received instead makes me think this e-mail is a reminder of what date we should expect the news we're dinged.

What do you reckon?

I was actually thinking the same thing. Didn't want to voice it a loud though.

Got dinged from Harvard today...just a lot of bad news... :cry:

thanks for the update, congrats! Havent gotten anything yet besides today's update email

Thanks. I got my application in two days before the 2 April deadline so my app may have been one of the earlier ones to be reviewed.

Congrats mkwpadxs!

Did you also get the "update" email as well?

Congrats mkwpadxs!

Got the update email from Stanford and my heart raced up for nothing. Still nothing else as of now.

Also got the ding email from Harvard 2+2. Bad day.

My status on the apply yourself website now has the addition of
"YOUR APPLICATION IS CURRENTLY UNDER REVIEW"

Perhaps the update email isn't a bad sign :/. Here is hoping.

Yeah I think that update email was just to tell us that they are reviewing things.

Thanks! Nothing changed on application website still "under review". However the e-mail said that the timing of the interview only reflects the the order in which the application is reviewed.

thanks for the sharing! good luck!
