Thanks - glad to know I'm not the only one who's trying to figure out what to expect! Like you said, the survey section is pretty sparse for this program so it sounds like it's just a waiting game at this point.

I think it’s separate from the Public Policy program. It’s administered by HKS but you take classes mostly with the students in the Government department.

Did anyone here apply to the Harvard Ph.D. in Government and Social Policy? I know the Harvard offers for Government went out already, but haven’t heard anything from the SPOL program yet and curious whether anyone has received an application decision yet.

Don't know if anyone has gotten an official email or anything, but I just randomly checked the UMass Amherst website and see my status as waitlisted. May be worth checking the portal even if you haven't officially heard!

Good to know, thank you!! Agreed, it has been very quiet - haven’t received a message yet from any faculty or grad student, but I also haven’t reached out (I can’t decide whether I should initiate contact or just be patient!!)

For any Columbia admits: have you received a funding offer yet?

It was an email from the DGS and Program Coordinator. Mine was for AP. I don’t think the portal is updated for me yet.

I hope so! From what I've seen the interviews from last year were atypical - covid measure maybe because they could only bring in a very small cohort. I haven't seen any interview notifications yet so maybe they aren't doing them this year.

I haven’t heard anything from CU Boulder yet, which is odd. Maybe this week sometime?
