To the people who applied for the second round, did you take a gap year? If so what did you do?

The website says that we wouldn't know until the first week of March I believe. Also, how many people do they actually accept into the program? I'm sure very few people get accepted, but it seems like there would be at least one or two other people claiming acceptance into this program? I don't want to call the poster bellow a troll, especially if their acceptance is real and they're genuinely excited about it. But I also don't see any rejections posted and it seems weird that no one has been rejected either?

is real

(Ignore interview) Can someone confirm the Harvard acceptance in the 2021 cycle forum with more details please? Decisions aren't supposed to be out until next week earliest so I'm having difficulty believing that the result is real. It was also posted concurrently with the GSP program result. Don't troll us on here, we don't need it.

Anyone else hear from Harvard today (accept/reject)? Particularly for the econ track. Haven't heard anything since interviews.

Official Acceptance in portal

No interview. Congrats to those accepted.

Email from POI a few days ago. Got the generic email to check the portal.

TTPB: I have not heard anything from the GSD or my POI. Considering the higher number of applications and a smaller number of spots, my guess is that it will probably take another week or two to hear back. If my memory serves me right, GD shared with me that they would be accepting 2, maybe 3, PhD students this cycle. Best of luck to everyone!

wheeeeeeeee!

No Interview

expected.

Apparently COVID has forced most programmes to drastically reduce their cohorts this year. Congratulations to those who got accepted! In case the following info is useful, I'm a student at Cambridge Uni, completing a Masters in Comp Lit. I hold a Liberal Arts degree from Durham Uni (UK), where I graduated as #1 of my cohort and top of the Faculty of Humanities. I spent a year studying Comp Lit at the Sorbonne. 3 languages to native speaker fluency. 1 essay published. 1 book co-written. 4 international conferences. Interests: Renaissance epic, migrations in literature, classical reception, intellectual history, philosophy, the visual arts and literature. I hope most of us are luckier next time or end up in other great unis!
