Graduate School Admission Results

Anybody here back since interview day on Feb 3?

Fine. Just a donation school. Even have predicted the result, still feel very disappointed.

Randomly checked portal. Master's GPA 3.9/4.0. No GRE submitted.

IR subfield. Notable line from email: "We received an unprecedented number of applications this year which has resulted in many more highly qualified applicants than positions available. In addition, the Graduate School is admitting a smaller number of new students than usual in response to the financial impact of the Covid-19 pandemic. Therefore, we find ourselves in a difficult position while under stricter constraints."

Are all of the Harvard Gov acceptances out? Looks like ~5 people posted already. Is that the whole cohort? Ignore waitlist.

Rejection after my 2nd time applying even with an MA. The competition is getting crazy and maybe I'm just not cut out for this.

email to check the portal. so sad... they did not give me an interview so maybe I should realize the result earlier.

Condensed Matter Theory, Theoretical Physics Track, interviewed in Jan, I thought it went well lol. Doesn't hurt that much because got into other good places.

Contacted poi before application. Perfect match. Still rejected after two interviews.

Applied to the History and East Asian Languages (HEAL) program and alas now I need some healing. Congrats to those admitted!

Good luck for the rest of you and congratulations to the ones who got accepted!
