I haven't heard from JW either :/ love his work but it's a hella competitive program.

It's been radio silence from Harvard

Right, I am definitely keeping my expectations low. I was just wondering if anyone here had been offered an interview from him already so I could lose the last of my hope... best of luck to you!

Oddly enough there's a Harvard psychology acceptance on the results page but it doesn't say if its clinical. I wouldn't be surprised if the were already at that stage. Some programs are pretty hush hush.

Not me! Would be curious if anyone else did. Please PM me if you heard back from JW or MN. Thanks!

@8BitJourney I see it too! Please PM me if you hear more details (POI/ whether Clinical/ etc.). I am also keeping my expectation low, but if an offer has already been made for the same spot I applied for, it will be great to know. Thanks and good luck!

@psych0627 I see an acceptance for Harvard Psych - any news on POI? Thanks and good luck!

[tere93]

Oooh my god! Harvard is taking ages to say something! I guess they are gonna be bad news, but at least we will know!

[WhereamI]

@tere93 Totally agree! At this point I want to know either way, so I could plan/decide next steps. What program are you applying to? Good luck!

[tere93]

@WhereamIThe Psychology program in Cognition, Brain and Behaviour! What about you?

[WhereamI]

@tere93 Clinical Science

[OptimiscallyAnxious]

One of my labmates was invited to interview and flown out late last month. It was just a meeting with their POI, not like a whole interview weekend. However, their research interest area is social psychology related. 

[WhereamI]

Thanks @OptimiscallyAnxious! Looks like some POIs go straight to offer (no interviews) at Harvard!

So I've been told: "If you haven't heard from faculty by now, that's probably not a good sign.  Final decision letters will be mailed near the end of the month."

I'm pretty much tapping out for the school now.

Just wondering--is 'JM' Jeremy Wolfe? If so, I don't believe he is really recruiting grads this year (or if he is accepting students, he knew who they were in advance). I work at Harvard currently so I see him from time to time, and that is what he suggested about 6 months back.

For me it wasn't Dr. Wolfe but not sure about the other posters. I'm pretty sure my app was just not up to snuff

 I talked to him before christmas, he said that he cannot directly recruit grad students for the Psychology program as he is in the medical school. He suggested he could co-advised.
