    Hi everyone! Update from program coordinator who answered me yesterday:

    Dear Leri (if I may),
     
    Thanks for your continued patience. My understanding is that decisions will be posted to the online application platform in the next week or so. 
     
    Best,

    since I didn’t get invitation to interview, there is 99% chance I got rejected right away. Super strange though.. GPA 3.95, 4+ Professional experience, Russian speaker and hold an offer from Columbia with 70% scholarship. Wonder what are they looking for in candidates..
     
    Good luck to everyone!

    @sherbrooke688 Hey! Thanks for the answer :) well, I see. Donna hasn't replied yet. What I've heard from other students is that they shortlist around 20 candidates and then select 10, not sure if the same applies to this year's selection. Since most of the interview are done by the end of January (and they usually give at least 5-7 days to prepare), this Friday could be the latest date to hear back from them.. I hope for the best but feel a bit upset since they have already sent out interview invitations, not a good sign in my opinion (I don't think that skipping interview/direct admission is a real thing at Harvard) Let's see. Lets keep each other updated :)

    @Lerryk6 Hey! :) Good luck to you, too.

    It's nice to meet another applicant! No, I'm not from the post-Soviet region - I'm applying from Canada. Are you from the region?

    I haven't gotten an interview, but I know somebody who did (although neither of us are sure what that means about the admissions process - it's possible that it isn't necessarily a good or a bad thing). In general, from what I have seen about past REECA application cycles on GradCafe, it looks like admissions decisions typically begin to go out in the last week of February/first week of March.

    Hey! Thanks a lot for answering, thought I was all alone at this forum, haha :)

    Nice to meet you! I am from Georgia, so yes thats from Post-Soviet region.

    I have been in touch with several students from last year's cohort. They all confirmed being interviewed in the last week of January - beginning of February and the admission decisions came from February 22 to March 5.

    Could you please tell a bit about that applicant who was invited to an interview already? Is s/he from the region or US/Canada? and also, when was the invitation sent out?

    Thanks a lot!

     

    Cheers :)

    Hey guys!

    It is a bit old convo, but I'll try my luck. Applied to MA REECA for Fall 22 call. Could you please share your experience, when are they sending out interview invitations and final decisions? any other tips will be more than appreciated!
