Graduate School Admission Results

After careful review, I regret to inform you that the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences is unable to take favorable action on your application to the Program in Psychology. The number of promising applicants well exceeded the number of offers of admission we can make for the 2022-2023 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.

Interviewed on 1/11

IGNORE status. Anyone heard from harvard social psych yet?

Has anyone heard from Harvard after the interview last week? When do they usually give out offers?

PI said all interview invites have been extended

Please IGNORE ACCEPTANCE! I really want to know if anyone has gotten an interview invite (Especially for social psych)!

Have interviees gone out? I havent heard anything

'Thank you for your interest in the Clinical Psychology PhD program at Harvard. Faculty are currently reviewing applications and conducting interviews. Interviews (whether via phone, Zoom, or in person) are always part of the admissions process for our eventual admits, but not all applicants will receive an interview. We expect interviews to take place through mid-February. Admissions decisions will be available in early March'. Does this mean that If I have not yet received an interview, I will most likely not receive one? Also, my application status uniquely says "Submitted". Once my application is being review, would this change to "under review"? Or would it remain "submitted"?

To the post below: I totally agree and believe you because I got the email last year from one of Harvard university. "I may accept one student who has worked with me in the past, but unfortunately no one else. "So, I didn't even apply.

Also just to clarify, i was not accepted into Harvard, I just wasn't sure which tag to use.

In case anyone is waiting on Harvard or is waiting for closure: Harvard typically admits from their own pool. By this, I mean that they usually extend invitations of interviews to students they have worked with in the past, students of professors in their department, students at Harvard, etc. This is especially common for two PIs at Harvard. So if you didnt get an interview don't be disappointed, it happens all the time. I worked at MGH and had friends in labs at Harvard so I've heard about this for years, not believing it, until I saw it happen myself last cycle.
