Hi all--first ever post here. I have been lurking this thread for the last month, and I saw lots of interest in Harvard. So, I thought I would let you know I have just received an email from the graduate director informing me he must "be circumspect with the language" he uses, and that the admissions process is not "ENTIRELY over", and that the "final decision on your application will be made in collaboration with the GSAS", but that the "history department has recommended to the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences that you be admitted to our PhD program."
