Search for "history -art" (no quotes) instead of "history" (no quotes) and you'll get rid of the art history results.

Yeah. I've been unsubscribing like mad to all the ridiculous e-mail updates I get from various places that I'd always happily ignored. Nothing like anticipation to give me the motivation I needed to actually find and follow the unsubscribe links. I've seen Chicago has done its Political Science departments and maybe Art History. Does anyone know when History is up? It looks like last year it was right around this time. I've grown pessimistic but Chicago is my top choice so I'm hoping for the best...

NW actually came in overnight Saturday (which may be worse).

Looks like the right answer was "very." Next question is how terrified should I be that the other schools I applied to are equivalent or maybe even better. I appreciate the encouraging words about the randomness of this whole process and am trying to hold out hope it will work out but it's pretty tough to start with rejection and go from there.

I sure hope so! The reason I am spun up is last year it looks like most of the decisions came within just a few days. Nonetheless your relative calm is reassuring!

I applied to Northwestern for a History PHD. It still seems way early, but four people have put results up and one person mentioned their friend got accepted in tihs thread. How terrified should I be that I haven't heard back yet?
