Expected because POIs had no funding. Was planning on going elsewhere anyway.

TTPB who also got an interview: Did you actually get your interview schedule yet?

Anyone else thinking to defer due to Covid-19 disruption in Fall 2021/immigration issues?

To Harvard / MIT cross admits: which one are you leaning toward?

Invitation to interview (bcc, so likely multiple people) was last Saturday (2/13) and actual interview was 2/17.

Any idea when the masters acceptance decisions for international applicants will be out? I cannot see Masters (I) accepted on the forum

Congrats!!! have you received an interview beforehand sometimes? I've also applied to HTC-architecture track (assume they usually admit 2 for architecture, 2 for art)

TTPB: I got the reply as follow. "While most of our decisions have been made, the committee are still reviewing some applications and will hopefully finalize all decisions by late next week". Though I am not optimistic on the number of acceptance remained, there is still some chance. Keep calm and wait.

The program was a reach, and I only had a 30-minute conversation with my PI of interest.

Hep-ex, > 2 years of research with CMS, 2 detector notes and 1 analysis note, experience in tech industry as well

Utterly elated. Hadn't heard anything prior, but received the news in a phone call from my POI today.

Finished top of the class with a master's degree in a world top ten university, 2 publications, a thesis prize, research experience, and outreach activity. Very sad.

To the guy interviewed: was your interview today or were you invited today? Wonder if they have sent all their interviews...

With a publication and master's degree. Expected but sad! Good luck to everyone else!
