achapiro Posted February 7, 2011 Posted February 7, 2011 Hi! I'm going crazy here waiting for the Cornell and Harvard SEAS results. Has anyone heard anything from these programs yet? Anyone got any idea of what their admission/rejection process is like? Finally, if say I don't hear from them for a couple more days, would it be ok to call them and ask about my admission status?
explorer-c Posted February 7, 2011 Posted February 7, 2011 Hi! I'm going crazy here waiting for the Cornell and Harvard SEAS results. Has anyone heard anything from these programs yet? Anyone got any idea of what their admission/rejection process is like? Last year I received the results for both around February. Finally, if say I don't hear from them for a couple more days, would it be ok to call them and ask about my admission status? My suggestion is don't do that. They are already busy as it is, so I'd say wait until at least mid march. You still have until mid April to decide anyway.

Anyone got any idea of what their admission/rejection process is like? I think that all the Cornell accepts have been sent out. As for Harvard, I'm waiting on them too. If last year is any indication, those who are accepted should hear this week. I wouldn't call. Not yet, anyway. Edited February 7, 2011 by Azazel

They're my last chance at not going to a safety school... This waiting is terrible!
prolixity Posted February 11, 2011 Posted February 11, 2011 Ahhhh, where are those Harvard results? They're my last chance at not going to a safety school... This waiting is terrible! Don't be one of those chumps who have to call. You'll find out before visitation weekend. prolixity and chaospaladin 1 1
DamianD Posted February 11, 2011 Posted February 11, 2011 Ahhhh, where are those Harvard results? They're my last chance at not going to a safety school... This waiting is terrible! Don't whine, at least you already got an accept! I'm still waiting :-(
achapiro Posted February 11, 2011 Author Posted February 11, 2011 Don't be one of those chumps who have to call. You'll find out before visitation weekend. Strength... faltering... must... call and ask... No! I must keep strong!
alexpap Posted February 14, 2011 Posted February 14, 2011 Do you know anything new about Harvard? Is the process done or do we still have hope?
achapiro Posted February 15, 2011 Author Posted February 15, 2011 Do you know anything new about Harvard? Is the process done or do we still have hope? Well, I e-mailed my POI because I wanted them to know I had 3 research submissions in the time from December to now and I thought this might make a difference. I recieved what seemed like an automatic rejection letter, so that's it for me and Harvard. Good luck.
alexpap Posted February 15, 2011 Posted February 15, 2011 I'm really sorry, good luck with the rest of them, don't give up!
najaf Posted February 16, 2011 Posted February 16, 2011 I am also waiting to hear from them .. but it seems that they have already given most of the admits :-(
opensun Posted February 19, 2011 Posted February 19, 2011 One of my friends received an admit from Harvard SEAS last year via postal service during the last week of Feb. He didnot receive an email notification at all. So dont lose hope until you receive the official rejection letter. @achapiro, can you please describe what you mean by automatic rejection letter ?

I meant it looked like it was copy-pasted from somewhere else not very carefully. My name at the beginning and the core of the letter had different fonts, stuff like that, very generic.
purplesmoke Posted February 23, 2011 Posted February 23, 2011 Any updates? Anyone hear from SEAS yet, or know when we will hear?
frenzydude Posted February 23, 2011 Posted February 23, 2011 Any updates? Anyone hear from SEAS yet, or know when we will hear? I called up GSAS and they told me that the letters will arrive by post only and not through email/website/phone. SEAS has the highest applicants and takes the most time but the last of these letters will be sent before March 15. Going by last year's trend acceptances were posted in February and rejections in March.

Going by last year's trend acceptances were posted in February and rejections in March. It's 2011, for God's shake, do they still use snail mail?! Especially for the rejections, do they want to have us wait or to keep the rejection as a souvenir?
Ln5390a Posted February 25, 2011 Posted February 25, 2011 I know! Every other program I have applied to has contacted me via email. I applied to Harvard GSAS History of Science and I haven't heard anything so far. Do you think I should contact the department? Or just wait it out for snail mail?
fangsout Posted February 25, 2011 Posted February 25, 2011 I contacted my poi and then he sent me an email informing me I was not admitted. I'm pretty sure your poi will know. The notifications will be sent in about a week.
sldm Posted February 26, 2011 Posted February 26, 2011 Those notifications that are going out, are you referring to PhD only or MS as well?
purplesmoke Posted February 27, 2011 Posted February 27, 2011 You think they'd care more about people they accept at least...

purplesmoke Posted March 1, 2011 Posted March 1, 2011 Any news? I don't even see accepts on the results page.... anything?
adelashk Posted March 1, 2011 Posted March 1, 2011 (edited) Any news? I don't even see accepts on the results page.... anything? It seems, from the trend in results page, they will make the decisions in the next 10 days. I would expect something in 1-3 weeks (given they mail the decision) Edited March 1, 2011 by adelashk
alpha_beta_gamma Posted March 1, 2011 Posted March 1, 2011 Hahvahd, y u so slow?
