Harvard SEAS Fall 2019

[shrek12]

I think in fact the majority of acceptances are without interview. And based on previous years, we can expect them to send the first batch of acceptances in the first week of Feb!

I saw that acceptances were posted for computer science PhD's at SEAS.   Does this mean all acceptances are already sent out?

I got a letter saying "recommended for admission" today. I had an interview in Jan.

I've seen just two acceptances for the Applied Physics PhD. Does Harvard contact the admitted students over a period of few days?

anyone here apply to harvard seas bioengineering? does anyone know any information about that program?

I had applied, I have already been accepted!! I got my notification on 6th of Feb. Financial offer on 14th Feb. Very excited to join Harvard next fall.

Hey guys, by any small chance was anyone else waitlisted for material science and mechanical engineering? I applied to biodesign and I'm trying to figure what my chances actually are, given that I'm on a "short roster of students" according to the email I got. It looks like a lot of people on here are interested in biodesign/biophysics/bioengineering, so I'd imagine it would be extremely competitive to actually gain admittance. I assume that another PhD admitted to the biodesign lab would have to decline the offer for me to get in ? . Thanks!!

@Irishguy Biodesign lab was one of the labs I was interested in as well. But I haven't received any response so far and I believe it will be a rejection in all likelihood.

Congrats on the waitlist though. Did you have interviews before with any PI from harvard ? Also, did the waitlist email specify the PI ?

Also, could you share your profile?

[Irishguy]

I did have a short interview with POI in January. Definitely should have come across better, might be where I lost it. Email did not specify POI. Apart from that 4.0 GPA, multiple scholarships, some engineering awards and one conference presentation
