I did hear back. It was an unofficial acceptance email; official acceptances will come later I'm being told. Judging by previous acceptance dates, the last two weeks of February is usually when they send out favorable decisions. That being said, I'm not sure if this means that they've already selected all the candidates.

What's your background? Did you get an interview?

Thank God someone else noticed it too! I have been freaking out for days... I also saw that someone was waitlisted. I keep refreshing my emails and checking my spam box, I think I am going slightly insane.

 

Elkan, who emailed you?

The initial notification came from the program's general email address. Later, I also received an email from GSAS, which contained a link to the official decision letter posted to their online application portal.

Yeah, it's safe to say that if you haven't heard from the program by now, you're probably not going to get an acceptance. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but I guess its better than sitting and worrying for another week.

As for financial aid, I'm still waiting on that. The letter should come sometime this week I think.

Hey guys!

It is a bit old convo, but I'll try my luck. Applied to MA REECA for Fall 22 call. Could you please share your experience, when are they sending out interview invitations and final decisions? any other tips will be more than appreciated!
