No GRE. No Pub. 1 conference

First author publication in JACS. Top research group at a top university. Extensive research experience including a summer at another top research university. Pretty epic fail.

Sorry to all others who have the alerts on for this. To the previous poster, thank you for sharing. I applied to work under Dr. Terence Capellini. So, I am feeling a bit worried I have not heard back yet. Do you know if you are getting interviewed by multiple PIs or just one? Good luck!

sorry for the wrong post above

Received email earlier today indicating interview in February. Wasn't expecting to hear anything until mid-February so this is a surprise.

To the previous poster - I applied under Dr. Carmody and I believe Dr. Capellini is setting up / running the interview! You?

To the previous poster, congrats! Which PI had you originally applied for?

3rd interview

my background is numerical and theoretical condensed matter, I have 2 paper ( 1 co-first author). In the interview they asked about my research and my goals for phd.

Just posting to share info from Admissions Director -- HKS does not conduct interviews as part of its selection process. Waitlist notification was not received, just posting to share info

4.0 GPA Biochemistry BS. Currently a PREP Student. No publications. ABRCMS poster award uploaded to application.

CMX. Email from one of my POI.

Got an email offering an interview from Dr. Capellini (not the PI I applied under) this evening! Seems consistent with past years and them offering interviews the last week of January.

Emailed by main PI I applied to work with in theoretical cosmology. 1 first-author paper in computational cosmo and 1 co-author paper submitted before grad apps were due, 2 co-author papers in prep. fingers crossed...

I got an email of acceptance for CMT!! So excited I didn't see this coming. I have about 8 publications but only 3 in physics. I also have 3 strong recos. This was my top choice and my first acceptance.
