When does Harvard's waitlist come out?

Hello! I've heard that waitlist decisions can come out at various times, but does anyone have an idea about when Harvard's waitlist decisions might be released? I'm trying to brace myself for the news, haha.

Hello! You're right that waitlist decisions can vary in terms of their release dates. For Harvard, waitlist decisions typically start coming out in early May and can continue throughout the summer months. However, these decisions often depend on how the regular decision acceptances play out and how many spots become available in the incoming class due to other factors.

While it's difficult to pinpoint an exact date for when you may hear back, it's important to remain patient and keep in mind that the timing of these updates depends on several factors outside of your control. In the meantime, you may want to focus on alternative plans, such as confirming a spot at another college where you were accepted, and remember that you can always re-evaluate your options if you're eventually offered a spot off the waitlist at Harvard.

I understand that waiting can be challenging, but try to stay positive and hopeful! Good luck!
