Hep-ex, called by POI

TTPB: Congratulations! Did your POI call you or was it a departmental representative?

TTPB: I have one more interview for a top program in March, so I want to see what they have to offer before I make a final decision. But I think I will most likely chose Harvard because I met a PI I really like there.

CME

Can someone please confirm the Harvard acceptance below? Typically they don't release decisions this early...

Email to check portal.

Just got this from Harvard: "Thank you for your interest in the Psychology PhD program at Harvard. It's important to note that the funding for students does not come from the faculty member, it comes from the graduate school (GSAS). We receive the number of slots from the GSAS and there is an internal faculty ranking system in the Psych dept to determine which faculty will be able to use those slots. In the absence of the April 15th resolution this year, we expect to implement a waitlist, so some faculty may be able to offer admission after initial decisions are sent out and even past April 15. Faculty are currently reviewing applications and conducting interviews. Interviews (whether via phone, Zoom, or in-person) are always part of the admissions process for our eventual admits, but not all applicants will receive an interview. We expect interviews to take place through next week. Admissions decisions will be sent out in early March."

TTPB: Thanks a lot for your answer! Can I ask one more question? Would you be accepting the offer? I was just wondering if there are some applicants that are rejecting the offer from BBS to accept offers from other top programs..
