pspr Posted February 5, 2021 Share Posted February 5, 2021 Just heard back from my POI at Harvard to confirm that they are really reducing the cohort size from 24 to 8. The decision should come out as usual, towards the end of this month. This is the Hunger Game: Grad School Edition indeed.

cbsag123 Posted February 5, 2021 Share Posted February 5, 2021 does that mean they'll accept 8 people total? or more assuming some will accept other offers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
polisciii Posted February 5, 2021 Share Posted February 5, 2021 a yield of 8, so perhaps accept a little more than that (think 12) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are interviewing their “long short list” for all fields and will be making final decisions after interviews. Good luck!

gbheron Posted February 5, 2021 Share Posted February 5, 2021 Someone else mentioned this as well, but I got an interview for Vanderbilt earlier today.

gradinho Posted February 5, 2021 Share Posted February 5, 2021 Congrats to all who are getting offers today! I just got an email from a professor at Rochester to tell me I've been waitlisted. This is good news considering that 10 minutes ago I thought I had been rejected. The email made a point on saying that this is a challenging year for them. kmccorm327 and Mad Scientist Malfrost 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of the professor was a guest speak for a seminar I was in this semester and his working paper had SO MUCH GAME THEORY in it that it went over most of our heads lol Edited February 5, 2021 by Mad Scientist Malfrost Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
