Harvard University Graduate School Admission Results

Was emailed to schedule an interview via Zoom on 22 January. As of 20th February, I have not received a decision letter, most likely will be rejected based on other people's posts. 4 years of lab experience ( 2 years as undergrad, 2 years as MS student), 1 publication, 3 conferences, no GRE

TTPB: Thanks! Went to an ivy for undergrad and am in a non-us MA rn. Good luck with your apps!

TP(very) below: I am also strongly considering deferring for a year because of Covid. I know that several people did it last year!

TTBP: Thank you for being so generous to answer my Qs. Really appreciate it. And congratulations, btw! I applied for EAS literatures with a focus on Korean lit. I probably didn't get in, as it seems they already sent out acceptance notices. May I ask if you graduated from a top tier school like an Ivy? I see your GPA was really high! Very impressive record.

TTBP: Russian/Latin American (Spanish), have a few other langs. Happy to answer other qs in forum

TTPB: I am the first guy who had an interview. I emailed my POI three days ago. No response. I thought they will at least respond without ghosting us like that. Based on past data on this site, only rejections have been sent out after the 20th of February. So I think we are done. :(

To the poster already accepted. May I ask your primary & secondary literatures and your languages?

Any news from this program? Submitted at 2/2

Does anyone know when can we expect formal rejections?

Well, at least y'all have been interviewed. The only sign I have had from Harvard was a couple of searches for my social media profile a few weeks back, followed by an uncanny silence!

TTPB: I am in the same boat. Had an interview but probably will get rejected since I haven't heard back. I wonder why there is so less GC acceptance post for Harvard. Like do you stand any slightest of chance? :(

Glad that you have quite a few options, but please take the conversation on placements somewhere else, like urch

I am still waiting, lol! Even had an interview. I think I am probably rejected from everywhere else too. Haven't heard anything yet. :')

How many here are waiting for Harvard's rejection email just to get a closure? :D

Anyone else thinking to defer due to Covid-19 disruption in Fall 2021/immigration issues?

TBP: It's a tough decision, but I am also inclining to MIT. The placement is generally better (at least in my field).

TPB: Only waitlisted at Harvard, but I'm most likely going to withdraw my name from the waitlist b/c I prefer MIT/Stanford over Harvard given my research interests.

To Harvard / MIT cross admits: which one are you leaning toward?
