I was rejected last year, but I am glad to be admitted this year. Hard work paid off!

I’m not at Penn GSE (as I mentioned before I’m a business major student from undergrad till now) but I know abundant amount of people at Penn GSE tho??

Honestly, there’s no difference between my current school (UPenn, I’m doing a masters) and Harvard, but the Harvard brand is just so strong and compelling to me (some people would get confused between UPenn and penn state... but no offense to Penn state tho)... I think I will take more additional courses at Penn to delay my graduation to next year as I need my full-time international student status to be continued, and reapply to HGSE. Professionally, I will continue to do consulting. I hope next year the number of applications could be lowered a little bit? although I know it’s very selfish to say it...

I’m rejected but relieved, and it seems this year there are so many rejections at HGSE.... I think I will reapply - who’s onboard?

@joyt99Did you apply and get accepted to Stanford? They have an IEPA program but I got a fat rejection?

I’m also an EPA applicant! Do you mind sharing your basic stats? My stats are on page 2.

Nice to have you onboard! Which program did you apply to?

This means you can tell if you are admitted or not even before you open the official letter...... if there’s no enrollment response form then it means you are either rejected or waitlisted.

No. The changes will be on the page shows the status of your application materials (xxx received). Basically on that page there will be a link stating “admission decision” for everyone; if you are admitted, beside the “admission decision” link, there will be another link stating “respond to enrollment...”.

Thank you! I hope we all can meet in Cambridge this fall with our passion and love! What program did you apply for at HGSE?

Don’t agree with your statement on no respectable school would release decisions on a Thursday hahahahaha... I think your statement was respectable schools would release on Fridays... but actually many reputable schools such as Harvard Divinity School released its decisions on this Monday... also, it is just our psychological compulsion to keep refreshing the portals and hope the decisions would come asap??

Most of the graduate schools in the United States stick to this trick... to be honest, this makes me feel more nervous when logging into the application portal?

I can assure you that you won’t see your results in the email. Once you are in the portal, before you click the link to the official letter, if you see there’s a link beside the link to the official letter stating “respond to enrollment...” it means you are admitted; if not, then the decision is going to be either a rejection or a waitlist.

But that’s for Stanford only and I think that’s an exception (Stanford people are interesting sometimes). Still hoping HGSE can release the decisions ASAP... it is really driving me crazy... more than two months of waiting...

It is even more interesting to me as I am having a 13 hour difference from EST and 16 hour difference from California time... it’s more torturing and tricky to me... basically I can’t sleep during midnight (bc it’s afternoon in america) and now daytime as well lol...
