Ironheel!! Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 No waitlists or acceptances yet - they haven't made their decisions yet. The "long short list" stuff is, I think, the pool of consideration. But I don't think you're out if you haven't been contacted by them. As with the rest of this cycle, it seems there will be waiting and confusion involved Thank you. A bit of a reach for me I think, but you never know...I'm guessing Brown is probably out for you given the other schools you were admitted too, so maybe there is hope yet!

edost Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 I don't get what the fun is in posting fake results on the results survey. It doesn't even make the competition screw up their application, since the applications were completed long ago. Does anyone understand this? Maybe this is a question we should ask in the psychology forum Jwnich1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe this is a question we should ask in the psychology forum Umm, a huge percentage of humanity are assholes? Some people think it's funny when other people feel bad? Some people enjoy watching the suffering, anxiety and stress of others for their own entertainment? Maybe I'm too pessimistic. I have been literally manually inputting casualty numbers from ethnic cleansing using a database that is in google earth and contains detailed pictures so...I don't have a TON of faith in people today, to be fair, but I really can think of nothing else to explain it. Some people are just mean and enjoy the pain and stress and anxiety of other people. PoliSci27 and AuldReekie 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chaetzli Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 I contacted Harvard GSAS and it is their policy "to inform applicants of admission decisions by letter only. We expect all decision letters to be mailed by mid-March"... So don't try to contact them regarding your AD AuldReekie 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So don't try to contact them regarding your AD I think the one in charge should be Thom Wall in the government department, it's not surprising that the GSAS can't give you details since they themselves may well have no idea too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
