3.86 GPA, just under 2 years of undergrad research in a chem bio lab and got uni fellowships for research, didn't send GRE scores due to COVID, 3 good LORs, currently working at a Biotech company. Was notified about scheduling interviews the week of February 8th and told "We find it important to interview each of our top-ranked candidates before making decisions on admission" but after seeing acceptances for F21 before then I realized I'm not necessarily a "top-ranked candidate" for them LOL. I'm prepping for the grilling in early February.

Yes. There are a couple of things as followup, but nothing too indicative of the decision yet, and I'm not sure if it's appropriate to share this info currently.

To the students getting the interview call at Harvard on 19th, did any of you get any information on the next steps? Any further comments from poi?

TTPB: As seen from grad cafe in 2020, someone wrote that he got accepted without interview. Also, in 2020 the interviews continued until approximately Jan 25. However, the admissions if somebody gets admitted, he will notified in early February. In contrary, the rejections come at late February (all this information can be seen from grad cafe 2020).

Yes, I believe the interviews are finished. However, I have no clue whatsoever if someone can be accepted without an interview.

To the last Harvard poster: So you are saying that the interviews have been finisihed? Is it possible to get accepted without any interviews or should I assume that I am rejected since I haven't received any interview requests?

I'm the poster for interview notified on the 19th. The interviews are supposed to wrap up for the department by the end of Thursday, which is the 21st.

TTPB, what area of theory? Also, which professors did you apply to? Could you also share your profile please? Thanks!

TPB: I choose the quant track. I guess interview requests will be sent out on Thursday or Friday in Boston time.

To the post below: Could you please indicate whether you are CB or Quant? Thank you!

4.0 GPA at top public research university. 4 years research experience, 5 undergrad co-authorships, thermo fisher award.

Excited!!!!!
