That's great!...Wow I wish that happens to me, too...and soon...

Nope, I didn't apply to Yale. But it's stressful to see my friends getting in, and I've only heard from one school! You know you're anxious when you start having dreams about getting acceptance emails...and waking up to nothing new in your inbox!

Classics departments are so slow with their notifications! I can't take this waiting anymore!!

No messages! My phone blocks telemarketer calls, however. But you don't think missing phone calls would disadvantage my application right? I suspect they would email applicants if phone calls aren't picked up...but no emails either!

I've missed 3 "restricted number" phone calls in the past 2 weeks! Why do I leave my cell phone in my car?! But is it common, anyway, to have profs. call from a blocked number?

Wow. You are the most misinformed and ignorant person I know. I really hope I don't end up getting accepted at a place where you end up. Oxford graduates non existent in the US? Complaining about job salaries and "loser colleagues." Can you be any more foolish? And you've never met an awesome classicist? Why are you even applying to Classics graduate schools?

I'm thinking, Acosta hughes for hellenistic poetry, Anne Carson for feminist studies in Ancient Greece, Derek Collins for Epic and rhetoric, Sara Forsdyke for Greek history, Dirk Obbink--papyrology; not to mention Ruth Scodel, who's one of the leading greek philologists of our century...

Are you kidding me? They have great faculty, and their archaeology program is probably the best in the country. The only downside to Michigan is...well, it's location! But I would personally say that the size and quality of Michigan's program is second only to Berkeley...

Perhaps--but you never know! They may keep applications in case their "first-round" candidates don't accept offers... And you're right, I think Classics is a bit slower than other programs.

I'm in the humanities, so I'm not sure how much this translates into your discipline. for us, anything really goes unless it's utterly sloppy. that is, jeans, shirt and cardigan work fine

Like I said before, most schools have notified and courted their top candidates--but this certainly doesn't mean that we don't have a chance-- I hope! I suspect they send out a second wave of acceptances if their top candidates decline offers...I hope I don't get any bad news on Valentines day...

greek epic and tragedy here! Do you know if columbia and michigan send out emails, or do we log into our accounts online to find out? It seems like art history is that way...

Oh, and I still haven't heard from any schools yet aside from the Berkeley rejection...

We need to start this back up!

Thank for for this!

REJECTED: BERKELEY CLASSICS. YAY I AM SO HAPPY!

First rejection: Berkeley. Waiting for more to come!

Hi DMH, What are "horrible" GRE scores?

I'm not sure [how] they're contacting students. A classics prospective student visited our department today and said those aforementioned schools have in some way, shape, or form, contacted him... and trips are taking place mostly next week for him...

Oh, and Princeton, too, has contacted students...

I'm not personally an Art History student, but I have a friend who is, and she said Columbia (and Berkeley and Chicago, as you already know) have started to send emails out today...

I know for sure that Chicago, Berkeley, Michigan, and Oxford have decided who their top choices are and have already sent out emails...I still have yet to receive notification from my list of schools...
