I think someone on the result page said they've sent out all invitations. Sadly I didn't get one  somehow I thought it would be a safe choice

Any internationals got Harvard PiN yet? I guess they have sent all invitations and I'm just not qualified. 

Harvard invites, mind sharing your stats?

Hey, unfortunately I think Harvard PiN is already done with sending invitations including international students they've already started arranging the interview weekend for everyone. I think this year was especially competitive w/ more applicants than last year

GPA 3.89, GRE 159 V / 163 Q / 4.0 W

Worked in my PI's lab since aug 2018, co author on biorxiv manuscript.

I hope you hear good news from your other programs! Good luck!!

650 applicants for 25 offers. That's what I heard. Last year they only had 400.

[RobertMoog]

@EVIL GENIUS sounds real fierce (They do admit a few more than other programs I guess). I'm not ashamed! 

@t_lulu and @siguy, you both got really strong background, I bet you are popular!! Have you got any other invitations? 

Best of luck with all interviews everyone!

Yes, same. But haven't seen many PhD programs in US with Jan deadlines. If you don't mind sharing which one have you seen.. I thought I might apply to Master's then cause haven't anything from few PhD programs I applied to...

Expand  

And no I haven't seen one US PhD with Jan. deadlines yet, not as I remember. A lot in UK and Canada (almost any one you can think of) are open further till Feb and even later (without fundings). I haven't applied for any one yet, was busy and lazy in filling the apps...

How about masters in US? Have you seen any and would you mind sharing?

Didn’t apply for me! I was worried about that but was exempt.

There might be more interviews, they will eventually send 25 offers( do not guarantee). PiN is really brutal, but they also have really outstanding students. You will enjoy it and meet great people there.
