ToMe

Thanks for the info. To be honest I was just grasping at straws, but I did kind of know that not receiving an email probably meant a rejection. I am disappointed however that they have not sent a rejection email (and my application status is also still ‘submitted‘). Oh well, thank you guys! Would you mind sharing your application info? And are you an international with Or without a US degree? Thanks!

So apparently Harvard BBS is not anticipating sending out any more interview invites. Have any internationals gotten an interview?! So far there’s only Americans in the results listing... And has anyone received a rejection email? In the past they have sent out rejection emails in December..
