lucerovespertino Posted February 12, 2014 Author Share Posted February 12, 2014 I'm still in limbo for most of my schools. Waiting is the worst. Plus the one rejection that came in arrived via postal mail, so now I basically run to the mailbox every day after work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

serotoninronin Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 Harvard comes out with their decision in Mid-March, no?  Final decisions yeah. I was referring to interview invitations. Someone mentioned that they were going to be inviting people to interview into February, but I have the feeling that that process is over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sunshinegrl456 Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 The CIS concentration director told me during my interview to expect a response late Feb-early March and that later doesn't mean bad news, it just means things take a while. Personally, I'm expecting more like March this year because now that its a joint venture between HGSE and GSAS, everything has to be passed back and forth and double approved and given that I've never seen a place as absurdly bureaucratic as Harvard is, I can only imagine how much slower the process is now.

serotoninronin Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 Yeah I'm sure they'll take their sweet time. They must be done in terms of inviting people to interview though right? Someone just put me down please. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sunshinegrl456 Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 Also yes, the official word is interview invitations will go out throughout February but I haven't heard of anyone getting one since 1/25 - including my friend who I actually think is a way stronger candidate than me and was basically coaxed into applying by the HGSE prof she's currently researching with and......no interview. Such a crazy process. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

girlbat Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 Same from Stanford. Sad but not surprised. I got the "being considered for the MA" message which I have to think about. Anyone know if that has funding? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone know if that has funding? Having talked to the department a little before applying, I know that years past have not seen a lot of funding allocated for masters students. It's only a one-year program if you do POLS.  I was rejected, too.  Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â Thanks for your info - I saw today that it was a one year MA and I'm actually really intrigued by that. I could be broke by the bay for one year Edited February 13, 2014 by girlbat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bsb3 Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 I am being considered for the POLS Master’s as well. Does anyone have any idea as to when those decisions are made? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
girlbat Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 I am being considered for the POLS Master’s as well. Does anyone have any idea as to when those decisions are made? The email says before the end of March, but looking at results trends from the past, it could be sooner. Just another waiting game. But they will definitely notify before the April deadline.

kaleidoscopish Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 Arrgh- my rejection email ruined my day yesterday. Feeling better today, though, since I would have chosen Stanford for name and location rather than close research interests. Â Does anyone stay sane through this process?

kijewels Posted February 14, 2014 Share Posted February 14, 2014 Congrats Sunshine! I really want to attend HGSE!! I can't wait until March when they release admission decisions for Ed.M applicants. I visited HGSE last November and absolutely loved the atmosphere and people there! Sunshinegrl456 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sunshinegrl456 Posted February 14, 2014 Share Posted February 14, 2014 kijewels, it's the best here! Super collaborative and supportive environment and never a lack of good discussion/debate! I turned down a 20K grant from Columbia to be here and was worried about regretting it but I totally feel like it was the right call! Best of luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
