Harvard University Graduate School Admission Results

In case anyone is waiting on Harvard or is waiting for closure: Harvard typically admits from their own pool. By this, I mean that they usually extend invitations of interviews to students they have worked with in the past, students of professors in their department, students at Harvard, etc. This is especially common for two PIs at Harvard. So if you didnt get an interview don't be disappointed, it happens all the time. I worked at MGH and had friends in labs at Harvard so I've heard about this for years, not believing it, until I saw it happen myself last cycle.

M.Arch II - Sad Boi but not too surprised

After careful review, I regret to inform you that the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences is unable to take favorable action on your application to the Harvard John A. Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences. The number of promising applicants well exceeded the number of offers of admission we can make for the 2021-2022 academic year. I know that this decision comes as a disappointment. Unfortunately, enrollment of new students is limited to a small fraction of those who are qualified for admission. I want to assure you that your application received full consideration by faculty members in the program to which you applied. We appreciate your interest in the Graduate School and wish you success in your future studies.
