I applied to Harvard -- nothing yet. But Harvard usually doesn't get back until nearer to end of February based on the last few years. I posted a bit earlier on this thread a list of approximate dates you can expect to hear back. Also heads up -- I have a friend at Michigan that said they likely will have a very small cohort this year because they had an unusually high yield last year (like 20 in the class). Similar to Duke, except they are taking some students this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last year the word was the previous year they'd had a very high yield so they weren't accepting alot of new students. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because I think I read it somewhere that the last year was extremely small cohort because of a very high yield the year before but this season should be back to normal.

This season (Michigan) is back to normal. The compensation was done during last application season. However, notice that over the years, according to their tableau, their yield has been increasing. They are not likely to admit as many people as they used to anyway, because they recognize the prestige they are accruing. ihatedecisions 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They asked for an RSVP to their visiting day by February 7, so I assume all decisions will go out by that time. Best of luck to you if you applied!! billk and Theoryboi 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
