Anyone else freaked out by the fact that all direct matches now require two offers per candidate? I have one prof interested in me but not sure if I have a second.

BestOfLuck Posted February 17, 2022 Share Posted February 17, 2022 Rejected from Harvard (as expected) Glad that they take the time to send me an email instead of rejecting me on their portal with no notification (as what MIT did) Good luck to everyone, and now it is a question of where I should go Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BestOfLuck Posted February 18, 2022 Share Posted February 18, 2022 An interesting "fact" to share tho: I have included my personal website in the application as additional materials, but yesterday when I updated it, I saw that no external user (people who have not followed me before) has tried to access/view the website Speak for "received full consideration" and "thoughtful decision" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sean9045 Posted February 21, 2022 Share Posted February 21, 2022 I've participated both virtual interview in Jan and on-campus visit in Feb, and have been waiting for the final decision letter after submitting the survey for choosing the potential advisor around 10 days ago.

Bartimaeus Posted February 21, 2022 Share Posted February 21, 2022 Email from a couple of profs (not the ones I interviewed with previously) at JHU BME, asking for a chat tomorrow (subject is JHU BME interview). Anybody else received something similar? I thought we'd just chat more with the same POIs we spoke with before. Looks like this process is far from done? ?

Hmm.. It's not the program directors or anything, just a couple of profs who's research is somewhat aligned with mine. This is probably something informal, I expect that we'll receive a formal email from the JHU team if it's about the next round. Will let you know once it's done in 4 hrs.

Well, sorry for any alarm caused - they just wanted to interview me now since they couldn't during the first round of interviews. Don't know what that means for the stage of the official process - Maybe we'll only hear back late this week or early next week?

MD2PA Posted February 24, 2022 Share Posted February 24, 2022 I emailed the admissions team and this is what I got in response: "Thank you for reaching out. We are following a new admissions process this year, and it has taken our committees longer than expected to reach a decision. We hope that the second look invitations will be sent within the next few days. We will extend the lab visits until March 4 to make sure direct match candidates have enough time to complete them. Once direct match candidates have been identified, they will receive an email from the program with more information about the second look visits and next steps. You should hear back from us soon, but in the meantime, thank you for your patience and please let us know if you have any additional questions." It's just so confusing because rotation offers are still going out but nothing in terms of direct match seems to be even remotely close to going out.

norchmo Posted February 24, 2022 Share Posted February 24, 2022 I reached out to one of the professors who interviewed me at JHU and he said he "expects direct match offers will go out in the next few days." Bartimaeus 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MD2PA Posted February 24, 2022 Share Posted February 24, 2022 I really hope they realize how unhelpful "the next few days" is... especially since they've been saying this for about 2 weeks now.. just adds to the stress sincerely_anxious 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
