For those who had heard back from HKS PhD - what concentration did you apply for? Emailed the admission office and they said the applications are still under review. Decisions will come out by March 15th. Wondering if the decisions for different concentrations come out at different times.

Got the email around 5:30 pm.

Dope.

Absentmindedly checked the application portal, as I do several times a day, and saw a letter of acceptance from the dean of admissions. In a bit of shock right now, very happy. No email or phone call yet.

An email to check the status in the application portal

got a mail to check via portal

I graduated from the best public university with a 3.85 GPA and had recommendations from some of the foremost professors in my area of study (two of which had nominated me for departmental awards, i.e., not a generic LOR), and had presented at two conferences. BUT, I transferred from community college, which basically equates to an auto-rejection.

0a/10r/0w/1p. This season's a wash for me - unless that last school comes through.

Email to check portal for application update. The email went to my "promotions" folder.
