What areas/Who did you all apply to work with at GW?

The fact that professors at Harvard apparently are only able to rank candidates prompts me to wonder how this works across schools. Does the admissions committee typically make decisions with minimal input from other professors? How many professors are on the committee? How does this affect a given professor's ability to advocate for any given candidate?

Does anyone have a sense as to when Yale will complete the notification process? I'm assuming the acceptances have all gone out...

Congrats, Bactrian. Did you have an interview ?

Yeah....

Congrats!

Nothing from Princeton for me yet...

Anyone want to speculate on potential timing of princeton notification? In past years, has it been morning, afternoon, etc?

Are Wednesdays off-limits for some reason?

My Penn status changed from incomplete to complete on 1/16 and I haven't gotten a call yet either. I'm starting to think efforts to find logic and order in all of this are, at the very least, not the most productive use of time (although I can't seem to stay away from here!)

Two Penn interviews are now up. Anyone willing to disclose area of specialty? And is it likely that all interview calls would go out the same day?

New England Nat-- any sense as to the prospects for 20th century Americanists at Princeton this year? Thanks in advance for any feedback!
