Email to check portal, got follow-up questions on Jan 25

hang in there everyone. this week is stressful. just know it will all work out how it is supposed to work out, even if the result is one that doesn't seem desirable at this moment. we can't see bird's eye view, only from now!

Recently learned from a professor at the university I'll be going to that my main POI at Harvard has transferred to a different institution. I looked it up and turns out it happened even before the AY began! And their profile is still up!! This is incredibly unprofessional, I wish I could at least get my money back -- especially because I had to retake the TOEFL *just* for them! Be sure to double-check if you are applying next year.

Undergraduate GPA not formally calculated but would be 3.55 total, 3.50 in math
