Congratulations tashunprince.Per what u wrote on this forum yesterday and one of the result postings,I can tell you are one of the few Harvard ThD admits.

I agree.Deamondeac,I think you might have a point.When I applied I forgot to fill out the financial part of the application so when I got an email sometime in February asking me to fill that part out I knew it was a good sign since they would not have asked me to do it if I had been rejected.So let's hope your situation is also an indicator of something good.And just so you all know,I was told by the Harvard prof who gave me the scope on when they completed the admissions process that the admissions committee does not consider the GREs at all.Zero consideration.He said it is only when they take the list of the recommended admits to the Dean of the FAS that they look at the GREs.He said the Dean's office is only interested in the GRE but almost always the Dean goes with the list even if someone has a low GRE score.

No I wasn't the poster.I am continuing student in the CSREL program.The poster on the results page was probably notified by a prof. he/she knows after the decisions were made yesterday.During my time the chair and my adviser sent out congratulatory emails before I got my acceptance packet in the mail a week and half later.

I am a student in the Religion PhD program at Harvard.I found the company of other applicants on gradcafe helpful when I was going through the waiting process so I decided to share what I was told.I have previous posts on gradcafe but I could not remember my password since I had not been up here in a while.

Hi Folks, Please disregard the previous Harvard posting.I was told by a professor at Harvard today, Friday,Feb 6 that they just finished making the decision at 5pm this evening for both the PhD( Committee) and ThD (Div Sch.) applications.He said the next stage is for both the Chair of the Committee and the Dean of the Div Sch to decide on the number of the recommended admits they can support.He said due to the tight budget caused by the financial crisis, there would probably be between 10-12 admissions for the PhD and ThD combined.This is big drop since a total of 18 people enrolled last year.So keep your fingers crossed.I believe however that there should be hope for anyone who is shortlisted since most people who get into Harvard also get into Princeton and most end up choosing the latter.I know this happened last year.
