Let's hope good news is in the offing! Thanks again!

Thanks a lot! I became very excited again about Cornell. Do you have any clue when decisions are made?

Thanks a lot - I appreciate it! I am also glad to hear that despite being located in rural New York, you would recommend it as a place for study. How would you explain the low student intake (1-2 people)? Do you think it's due to certain constrains (funding) or because few applicants accept offers at NES, or?

Hey @_sawyer_, congrats on your acceptance at UT-Austin! What program did you apply for at Harvard?

Hey @nevermind! Thank you for offering to tell us more about the NES program at Cornell. Any chance you know whether interviews are part of the application procedure -- I have not heard back from them and start to worry ? I would also be interested to know how you experienced the program and life at the Department. Thank you in advance!

Ha, those lovebirds! But you're right - it is in the Events thread! I guess it's fair to assume it will take place on the 14th. Still the question remains: When can we expect to hear back from them?

Hey! Where did you find the info on NELC department meeting? I can't seem to find it in the calendar http://nelc.fas.harvard.edu/calendar-nelc

Nice, congrats Abdelazar! Who was there to interview?

Hey @praxis34! No invitation for me. Good luck to all of you, and hope you are able to execute your PhD under the mentorship that you feel would be most fruitful for you!

Thanks again! The website states, 'Normally we send out invitations to short-listed candidates on the first Wednesday in February,' which means (I suppose) they either sent out invitations last Wednesday (Feb 1) -- or, given Mr LaRegina's email, they will do so on Tuesday. Fingers crossed!

Thanks a lot @praxis34! I guess that means shortlisted candidates haven't been formally contacted yet, or I am getting things wrong? Good luck on your apps!

Hey! Just wondering if anyone has heard back from any of the major NES/NELC/MES departments, and if Princeton has already sent out invitations?

To all 2017 NES applicants, has anyone been shortlisted yet? I saw few ambiguous posts in the results overview, not sure what to make of them. Thanks!

Does anyone else have views on this?

Just wondering how important your LinkedIn an Academia profiles are. Personally, I don't feel they to my CV (on the contrary) so I keep I access to it limited and publicise less than I do in the CV. I did notice some activity recently. Any views on this?
