Harvard MDE Fall 2021

[safetymoor]

Hi all,

I saw that previous years, folks created forums for that year's application cycle and didn't see one for this year. I was wondering if anyone had heard anything back already or had an interview? Based on last years post, it looks like interviews were had around this time, so I wanted to know if anyone else had theirs? It would really help in letting me become depressed earlier so as to get on with my life sooner. Thanks!

Did you have any work experience before you studied design? i'm curious because the program website says that it requires 2 years of work experience to be admitted. but maybe they loosened that restriction and didn't update the website.

People who had their interviews, when did you get an email regarding that? I did not get any such mail regarding interviews. Anyone else in a similar situation?

Based on past posts, decisions could be sent out either tomorrow or early next week. Has anyone checked with Harvard about when to expect these by?

I haven‘t receive any email. And didnt see updates on the portal. Does that mean a rejection？

[safetymoor]

for anyone who got in, and those who were interviewed and didn't get in:

if you're comfortable, could you DM me? i'm hoping to figure out ways to improve my application for the next application cycle so it'd be great to learn more about your background and what not. thanks!

Anyone have any thoughts on Harvard MDE vs MIT IDM vs Berkeley MDes?
