I’m sorry to hear that - just thought I’d add the info I heard from my POI at Princeton. I got into contact with her prior to beginning an application. She recommended that I don’t apply this year because the department has a very reduced cohort and is prioritizing particular fields (profs who don’t have students). Things just sounded very dire there.
I just had it: it was done in the blink of an eye. POI wasn't present; there were 3 faculty members, one of whom I was told was filling in for the DGS. The questions were pretty general: why Columbia? Where do you see yourself fitting in here, etc.?
Columbia did 15 minute interviews last year too. Prior to that, they didn't systematically do them. In any event, I was the one that posted about the interview on the results thread. I have my interview today; no idea what to expect. I also interviewed at Berkeley last week but haven't yet heard from them. . . .
Anyone know what the deal is with Harvard?
I was admitted to a humanities research MPhil with taught methodological components. Does anyone know -- or have some sense as to -- whether Cambridge will be online next year? If not, can one petition to complete such a course online?
Hey! I’m new here; also a finalist. I applied for arts (MPhil not PhD) and haven’t heard a rejection. Are rejections usually sent out this late? Or could I be on some wait list? Best wishes to everyone who hasn’t heard anything yet.
