  1. While, we're on the topic of asking for info, does anyone know where UCLA is in their process? I was waitlisted before the campus visit and I'm wondering how many they accepted and when/if they are likely to notify waitlists about a final decision. Anyone else on the waitlist there or been accepted/rejected already?
  2. Hey, I just saw that you hadn't got a response yet, and thought I'd throw out my opinion: UCLA History and Classics are close to the top; maybe not as high up as some ivys and or stanford (someone else correct me if I'm wrong) but still highly ranked and very well regarded. Hope that helps somewhat. I'm guessing some others are better qualified than I to assess UCLA for you but I thought I'd start it off anyway. Congrats!
  3. Who's the Austin admit? Congratulations! Guess that means I won't be getting an offer from them, but I guess I shouldn't complain as I already have some good options for the Fall. Anyone else apply and not get an acceptance from UT?
  4. This is by far the best thing I've ever seen. If only all grad school correspondence came in LOLSpeak.
  5. Just regular Classics, but I just noticed that you were accepted to the archaeology program there - congrats! That is incredibly awesome. I'm guessing that I am unofficially rejected from UCLA, since it seems like they would've had to have notified about interviews by now.
  6. Hahaha. Seconded. What program does everyone most want to hear from and/or what potential acceptances could change your plans for the Fall? I'd like to hear from UCLA (if they haven't already sent out their invitations) and UT Austin.
  7. I got the same offer (Provost Fellowship), but I am not the one who posted it in the results section. Who is the other admit? Any word from the department itself?
  8. Congratulations! Its cool to see people getting acceptances so early this year. That's what I suspect as well, but its strange that none of the acceptance have shown up in results. Good luck!
  9. Anyone know anything about the Stanford wait-list that showed up today? I'm wondering if they also notified acceptances and/or rejections, because I still haven't heard anything from them.
  10. Just got an acceptance from UCSB via an e-mail directing me to the website. Anyone else?
  11. Yeah, it was FSU. I got a more official acceptance from them now too, so now I have a place to go no matter what. Very excited!
  12. I didn't apply there, so I'm not sure. Was it good news from them? If so, congratulations!
  13. I applied to 12 programs and just got some good news from one of them (I was nominated for a university fellowship). Still waiting to hear on all the others though, and I'm guessing it will be at least a week or two. Where did everyone apply? Has anyone else heard anything yet?

    In addition to everything Chumlee said (which is all great advice), I have another resource for you: http://classicaljournal.org/study_classics.php This has been linked a few times in the classics forum but its really worth checking out if you haven't yet. The FAQ page gives info on what a successful writing sample/sop in classics should look like, and the Graduate Program Survey page has tons of info about programs including what they look for in applicants and the (rough) percentage of grad students they accept each year. Hope this helps!
  15. I am not at one of the programs you mentioned, but I did apply and get accepted to Tufts. I visited there and didn't like the faculty a whole lot, but there are some people who do like the school so you should ask around. Tufts also costs about 30k a year, and the package they offered me was only 25% tuition remission, so I declined for financial reasons as well. Have you considered applying to Boston College or Georgia? I know they both have funded MA programs as well. Good luck with the applications! I'll post my results as soon as they start coming in
