Email from P.I. Could not be more excited! Official notifications will be coming "soon" with previous interactions indicating sometime this week.

Email from PI, GSAS made the final decisions -- the official letters will be out soon.

Email sent on the 10th for interviews feb 4-6. Interestingly, my PI had apparently know for several days that I would be offered an interview but wanted it to be a surprise.

Just got it this morning from the program--seems like invitations are sent in batches (based on last names? my last name is included on the title of the e-mail)

To the Harvard OEB poster below, were you informed by your POI or did you receive an official one? Do you think they send out invitations in one batch or several waves? Best of luck with your interview!
