Call from the director, attended final interview weekend

I was rejected post-interview by POI. Good luck, everyone...

. Summer research internship at Harvard and Brown

Unofficial email from POI :)

Email about accessing admissions decision letter from general admissions personnel.

Email signed by co-directors of graduate studies, but sent from separate email. Didn't even bother changing "Fall 2016 semester" to "Fall 2017 semester." At least proofread your emails.

Odd interview process. Only one PI I wanted to work with was taking students. Some other faculty members I liked were cross-listed across departments and didn't take students from this program, even though they were on the eligible N&B faculty list. I met some other students in similar situations. In such a small interviewee pool, why go to the trouble of interviewing us when other applicants could have been a better fit?

Notified by POI on 2/8, official letter of offer 2/15.

Very happy to have been accepted! Had a great experience at the interview session.

One year research. Low GPA, no pub. expected result.
