Just wondering how Harvard would notify acceptance to the international applicants. I did see someone received an email from the Harvard on the results page. Can anyone who received the phone call confirm this? TY!
-
I'm IR/CP. I am not too sure about the theory subfield, but I think chances are high that they already released most of the acceptances, according to the content of the email. On the other hand, you never know what will happen before the official notification comes out. Be patient and don't despair. Good luck!

Just an email from the DGS. It says there will be a follow-up email that covers more details about the open house and the funding package.

In at Cornell. just received the email.
-
Wow, you are so amazing!
-
Also claim the Princeton acceptance! IR/CP field. Just received the email. More than thrilled!
-
Acceptance? Congrats!
-
New poster about Princeton acceptance poped up on the results page. Any one received the email?
-
Guys, also a poster claiming that he/she received an interview request from Penn. Troll again?
-
Their way of accepting is almost the worst. They emailed to those who were accepted and waitlisted a week ago and did not offer any updates to those who have not received any notifications. Just let you hang in there. I even feel that a direct rejection is much better.
-
Thanks! I wish they could send acceptances and rejections at the same time or at least, in a short period, but not let the rest hang in there.
-
Thank you! And for those who claimed acceptance and waitlisted of GWU. Does your portal get updated? Mine still shows "You application is under review." I assume it is already a rejection.
-
Congrats to those who have been admitted! Just realized there was a poster claiming the Harvard acceptance in the results page. Do you think it is a troll? Another puzzle of mine: do you think it is a good idea to contact the POI which you haven't reached under the current stage? Will that hurt? Thanks!

I checked the results page of this website. Five posters about GWU this year. All of them are accepted.

Got the same question. Checked the portal and there is no update.

Hi all, I have a question regarding the conversion of GPA. Outside the U.S., say, Japan and Korea usually have a GPA scale of 4.3 instead of 4.0, and some of the university even don't display students' GPAs on their transcripts even though they have a calculation method. I am wondering if international students should convert the GPAs themselves or just leave it as blank as some application system says, "don't calculate your GPA if its not showed on your transcripts." On the other hand, I also found some professors' preferences for clear GPAs in the app system when they posted their suggestions on how to apply. I am thus bewildering and I really want to hear your suggestions! Thank you!

Hey, all. I am an international student. It's good to find here. The thing is that I took GRE twice, and the distributions of my GRE grades are, 161(V)/170(Q)/4.0, 159(V)/170(Q)/4.5 I am wondering which grade I shall report to the targeted school. On the one hand, the first total score exceeds 330 but the analytical writing part is only 4.0. On the other hand, the analytical part in the second is higher but the total score is only 329. My targeted schools are most from first tier. I wonder if they pay much attention to the writing part for international students or they care more about your total score. Really appreciate your help. Thanks!

Thanks for your information! Like what @izmir mentioned earlier in his/her post, Stanford does indicate that "admitted students typically score at least 115" even though the minimum requirement is 100. Any idea on this? Thank you!

Hey, guys, I just got my TOEFL score, it's 109 (R:27, L:29, S:27, W:26). One puzzle that have always confused me is that whether a score of 109 and a score of 110 would mean quite differently if I were to apply the IR Ph.D. programs offered by top schools (say, Princeton, Stanford, etc.). Thanks for your time and I really need your suggestions.
