After careful review, I regret to inform you that the Harvard Kenneth C. Griffin Graduate School of Arts and Sciences is unable to take favorable action on your application to the Program in American Studies. The number of promising applicants well exceeded the number of offers of admission we can make for the 2025-2026 academic year. I know that this decision comes as a disappointment. Unfortunately, enrollment of new students is limited to a small fraction of those who are qualified for admission. I want to assure you that your application received full consideration by faculty members in the program to which you applied.

Jokes on me for applying to Harvard again. Honestly, a waste of an application fee.

Email to check portal.

so sad .. just want 1 acceptance

Previously accepted to BusEc, so accordingly rejected from Department of Economics (my understanding is the programs coordinate and you can't get into both).

“unable to take favorable action” such a stupid response. this place is for richies anyway idk why i applied
