Amusingly they do seem aware that sending stuff out past 5pm is a good strategy for the safety and sanity of the office staff.

lol.

If I worked in the admissions office, I would think Friday at 5PM would be an ideal time to send out decisions....

I know for a lot of people going to Harvard is a huge dream, good luck everyone and congrats in advance to those who are fortunate enough to get accepted :luck:

Harvard was my first interview (lol...not cool to have that as the first interview of the cycle), and I don't think that it went as well as I had hoped for. At the moment, I would be happy with a waitlist. However, best of luck and congrats in advance to all those who are accepted.

If acceptance decisions are released tonight, they may change some people's lives! 🙂

One of the current MS1s told me that the MSTP decisions should be going out today.

Can we go back to this insider tip about the acceptance email release date, tho? lol How would this MS1 student know when the emails are supposed to go out, anyways? :: suspicious face ::
 
There are many students in the admission committee or even students that might work in the office... this is certainly the kind of gossip that would spread very quickly.
 
'The Last Days of Disco' with Whit Stillman in person for a post-film Q&A....pretty rad
 
my friend worked the Berlin film festival and got me into a free screening of Just the Wind. So many people recommended it to me emphatically, and it was good. but suuuuuuper depressing. my friend and i just walked silently out of a theater to a cafe to buy chocolate things, haha

LOLLLL at the movie talk. Are we even sure that it will come out today? 😕

I have actually been a little thrown off by all this talk of imminent acceptances b/c during my interview I distinctly remember being told mid-late march.
 
For what it's worth, I have listed in my notes "First week of March" for when decisions come out. What they consider the first week of March is a mystery to me though.
 
at my interview, we were told first week of March...but does that mean the first full week of March? unclear. also, there are 124 active users currently viewing this thread!

That is what the website states - but it is what people in previous years were told as well and answers used to come out around March 15th (maybe because of traffic rules regarding MD/PhD offers) and last year they came out quite early, on March 3rd...

Ditto for me (edit: I interviewed mid-Jan, so relatively recently). And there was also this post that appears to be legit (check post history):

Relax, the tentative plan was that emails were meant to be sent today. The MS1 was not misinformed or misleading anyone. They must've decided to delay for one reason or another. You will be sure to hear back soon. When they are released, it will be in batches so do not fall for a single troll posting about acceptance.

Guess it's not happening today. See y'all next week.
 
I'm ready to call the "all clear" alarm until Monday. Probably won't hear anything until Monday unless they are insane
 
it's almost harder to wait now that we're close to finding out than when we were a few months from it. 😳.. oh the anticipation!
 
I had a dream last night that I was waitlisted at this school
 
That was a nice long break from jumping every time I get a notification on my phone...
 
Anyone heard from the admissions office/current students about when the decisions are coming out? I hope it is today...
 
So....before I checked my email this morning, I found myself praying to Jesus, Buddha, and my ancestors.


LOL. But nothing yet. I getting so nervous and anxious. It's not even funny. xD
 
Hopefully we'll here sometime this week. However, when I interviewed in November we were told to expect to hear late March. It seems that people who interviewed later on have been told first week so maybe they changed their timeline at some point.
 
That would be super helpful! I'm in class all afternoon but if someone has time to call the admissions office and ask, I'm sure we would all appreciate it 🙂
 
I called and was told that decisions "will be going out soon... We don't know exactly when."
 
that sounds like its coming out today 😀
 
I am in! MD/PHD, HST and NP.

I just got an email (at 1h45)! Good luck to all!
 
lxz said:
Sure no troll?! Well, I guess this is another troll, since you only chose applying to MD/PhD only or to MD only, not both.lol

Not necessarily, because acceptance to the MSTP program at HMS is contingent upon acceptance to HST or NP, so you get accepted to both HMS and one (or both) of the programs. Congratulations!
 
Last year MSTP came out ~1 hr before the rest of them.. Might have been coincidence... Or perhaps not!
