I think it’s probably an authentic result but am surprised there is just one so far as usually you would see more than one, but then this cycle is super weird so who knows ??‍♀️

I can't confirm... but if we don't get rejections today/tomorrow (possibly Monday), it would seem abnormal given Princeton's past admit/reject schedule. Then again, this is an abnormal time.
 
All this internet sleuthing on this site reminds me of Don't F*** with Cats (similarities end at the detective work, content is a little dark)

This anxiety is killing me. I haven't received any response (not even rejection) from the handful of places I have applied to. I can't even make out if the princeton, harvard bits on the result page are authentic, which is making me more anxious. Apparently this forum has a history of trolling on the results page.

Oh! My bad. I misunderstood. I was really hoping they would change their mind about interviewing so my wishful thinking morphed into misreading what you said.
But congratulations! It is a feat to be shortlisted. :) Good luck with the final round.
I am biting my nails very hard. No mail so far.

I have, I received an email that I was shortlisted for the Social Sciences interview panel about an hour ago -- Hoping good news arrives in your inboxes soon!!

So it seems from the result search, Harvard has started emailing rejection and wait listed mails. I thought they responded in March but now I am getting all anxious. Anyone here who received any communication from Harvard?
 

Good luck!! I applied to a ton of places as you can see so I'm hoping some of the US ones come to fruition! I went through the process of contacting professors before applying in the fall, and many made clear that they routinely accept undergrads straight through so thus I decided to give it a shot. 
Re Cambridge - I applied for MAs in the UK, so that is probably why I got in so early there as there's no interview process. I think based on past results, Princeton will probably come through either next week or the following week (my bet would be on the week of the 8th) and I think Yale will be pretty much the same as acceptances for them usually come in early Feb. 

Yeah, me neither. My status still shows "submitted". I have applied to only a handful (Princeton, Harvard, Oxford, Cambridge for history and Yale for Anthro) and I expect Princeton will be the first to respond with a 15th Feb deadline for communicating decision.
 
Congrats on Edinburgh and Cambridge. I had my interview with my POI (Cambridge) sometime early January. But my application is still under review (department). This wait period is nerve wrecking.
 

Agreed. I think the universities should not even offer unfunded PhD positions to international students. It's strange and sad that they often do that.

From Biological Sciences - just got the preliminary offer email this morning (US time)!
 
Edit/Update: My application status is still “Submitted” lol so apparently that’s not necessarily indicative of scholarship status

I have been around for a while. I did my masters in 2011 and taught for about a decade. Have decent publications and research with impact. I am aware European phds take shorter time. But my consideration for PhD is 1) POI 2) Department brand 3) Duration. 
 
Europe is too white for my proposed area of research, though I AM applying to one program in Europe (Heidelberg) which has a good South Asia focus. My choice is UK (have applied to both Cambridge and Oxford). Rest are Harvard, Princeton and Yale. Barring Yale rest are all history programs. 
 
In the event none of these work out, I am happy to do a PhD in my home country.
