Harvard University Graduate School Admission Results

Emailed to check portal

Sad

just checked it. although expected, disappointed: 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. With best wishes,

Thank god they finally told us! Got an Ivy League acceptance already. So I'm happy to be going to another program in the fall. :)

TTPB: Unofficial reject, received this news from POI's lab. Not sure if i was considered for other labs! Stay strong!

TTPB: Harvard CS rejection poster below: did you get your rejection today? How were you notified?

TPB re: Harvard. If you did not receive notification of a waitlist, it's a rejection at this point. From what I've been told they made all their offers already.

[No Interview] TTPB: I am thinking we will hear back today. It looks like last year's admissions were made around this time like you mentioned. I hope it doesn't go much longer than the first week of March. Fingers crossed!!

There's really no way to be sure, and the website does say that results wouldn't be out until next week (likely Monday or Tuesday). Relying on a forum isn't the best anyways because anyone can say anything. It really comes down to if you trust a forum poster or the website itself.

I haven't heard anything. Put "Waitlist" just because the "Other" option is gone. I asked SEAS a few days ago and they said they aim to send out all decisions by the end of this week, so I guess...later today?? I'm not sure if offers are all out yet (I asked them and they didn't answer to this question)

TTPB: International applicant here, I also did not hear any information. It's very strange this year. Probably I got rejected as the trend of previous years, the acceptances were sent in early February and rejections were out later in the month.

GPA is grad. Check you e-mails. My went to the spam folder. Department Chair remarked that in any other admissions cycle, I would have been admitted. 0a/5r/1w. Cohort size is 8 this year, I wonder how many offers they plan to make.

Any international applicants received updates from POI or department? Will they admit directly or have interviews first? The silence is killing me please share information if you are using this site. Hope we all can shoot our dream school.
