Notes
It’s frustrating being rejected without even having an interview or an e-mail saying to check the website. I’m hoping I’ll have more chance for Cornell and Texas. Congrats to all who passed and best of luck to those applying to other universities and didn’t pass to Harvard. There’s still hope!! This is what I got from Harvard: “ After careful review, I regret to inform you that the Harvard Kenneth C. Griffin Graduate School of Arts and Sciences is unable to take favorable action on your application to the Program in Linguistics. The number of promising applicants well exceeded the number of offers of admission we can make for the 2025-2026 academic year. I know that this decision comes as a disappointment. Unfortunately, enrollment of new students is limited to a small fraction of those who are qualified for admission. I want to assure you that your application received full consideration by faculty members in the program to which you applied. We appreciate your interest in the Graduate School and wish you success in your future studies. With best wishes, Robert D. Coughlin”
