I think acceptances came out around this time last year, if I remember correctly. A Professor told me that the department has made their recommendations to GSAS, who - as far as he knows -will finalize admissions/do official offers on or around Feb. 7th!

Do you know if this is the case for their HoS department as well? It seems hit or miss on whether departments follow the same or a whole different timeline.

Amazing, thanks for the info! I wonder if POIs are informing earlier?
MatildaMedievalist Posted January 27, 2022 Posted January 27, 2022 Thanks for the Harvard info! In a similar vein, has anyone heard anything from Duke? There are no acceptances posted in the results, but their acceptances seem to normally have come out by now, whilst the rejections take weeks longer... Maguire 1

I feel silly but I don't really know what a POI is haha! But for more context: I got an email yesterday from a Prof I'd been in touch with and he gave me "tentatively good news" re acceptance but warned me it is still not concrete until GSAS approves their recommended candidates on Feb.7th. I hope that helps! automatic_peas and flowersandcoffee 2

I hope that helps! Wow congrats!!! What an achievement! Did they say whether they are accepting more than 6 students this year? Also POI = person of interest, which usually means your potential supervisor. Did you have an interview/much correspondence before they emailed you yesterday? saintesprit 1

No, they didn't give any details re cohort size unfortunately...and no interview, but we had spoken on the phone in November about my application and I also spoke with one of his current students. But that was it! flowersandcoffee 1

Mad Scientist Malfrost Posted January 29, 2022 Posted January 29, 2022 Congrats to everyone on making it through January.

sonnybunny Posted January 31, 2022 Posted January 31, 2022 Hoping to hear from UCSB this week! CoffeeCatsCorgis and charmsprof 2
TagRendar Posted January 31, 2022 Posted January 31, 2022 I haven’t seen any emails from Northwestern yet—last year they sent emails to tell applicants that decisions had been reached. Last year, they were sent out on the 30th around noon eastern (I know because I still have the email—don’t ask me why I kept all of these rejection notices, but I did). I’d keep a loose eye on your inbox and try not to panic too much? It looks like the latest they came out in the past few years, looking at the results lists, was the end of the first week of February—which would be by the end of this week anyway.

Mad Scientist Malfrost Posted January 31, 2022 Posted January 31, 2022 Best of luck to everyone waiting on NW! Hope you all hear back today or sometime soon with good news! CoffeeCatsCorgis, Maguire, charmsprof and 3 others 6
CoffeeCatsCorgis Posted January 31, 2022 Posted January 31, 2022 Wishing everyone good luck with what may (or may not) be a "hot week" for decisions. For those of us also chipping away at MA or undergrad theses, sending extra positive energy that this stressful process does not get in the way of our current projects. Personally, I've had very little in the way of news/communication from 6 of my 7 schools up to this point, but it's not over until it's over. We got this! teathatisiced, Mad Scientist Malfrost, emeraldsapphire and 4 others 6 1
charmsprof Posted January 31, 2022 Posted January 31, 2022 (edited) Would it be overkill to email my poi from NYU? I did an interview with them, and I haven't heard anything back but I know that some people have been accepted. edit -- I know it's overkill lol. You just would think that they'd send a nice little "sorry, but next time" email especially after telling me that I was on the shortlist for acceptance. ?
