I have been checking my HGSE online application (even though they said decisions will be made in March), and saw one change that has been made since the last time I logged in which was 2 days ago. There's a section where I am required to upload a Financial Certification Form. I didn't know what that was so I checked the HGSE website, and this is what I saw:
"Does HGSE assist international students with obtaining student visas?
Once students have been admitted as degree candidates, Harvard University requires international students who need a Harvard-sponsored student visa to submit financial certification that demonstrates adequate funding for one year of study. Detailed instructions regarding this process will be available upon admission to HGSE. Please note that admitted international students requesting J-1 or F-1 visas are required to enroll full-time."
Any other international students getting this message on their application page??
