  1. Generally no. If the school you're hoping for has released some results and you haven't heard, that's almost certainly bad news.
  2. For all things related to applying to graduate school in history in the fall of 2023.
  3. How much money are each offering? Which is more of a livable wage? Which offers better opportunities to fund travel to your archive?
  4. Look at the median 1BR rent in Boston before you get too excited.
  5. Wait until you apply for jobs and you never hear back 😑
  6. I wrote this: https://www.historians.org/ahajobsreport2022 Let me know if you have questions.
  7. See if you can defer from school 1 for a year, and then use the time to reapply to school 2.
  8. ?You got silenced for trying to troll the troll. If you want to post your AO3 stories here, enjoy I guess.
  9. Funding is the most important criteria; you can't write a dissertation if you can't get to your archive. If you think school 2 is ok in that regard, there's your answer.
  10. You don't know that, actually. They might have taken a mediocre application to a good one, but it's not about the quality of your applications, it's about the quality of the application relative to others. And a professor doesn't know what other applications they're getting. But it is useful information to know that a professor is enthusiastic and communicative. Anyway, my signature line seems applicable here. Congrats on your acceptances; don't let them go to your head. Getting through grad school is pretty difficult if your entire cohort won't talk to you. This will vary wildly based on the specific department and person.
  11. Cleaned up this thread a bit. We are aware of the trolling problem and are doing the best we can with the tools we have. Please report posts but do not engage; troll feeding will result in a 1 week silence.
  12. Files come in, profs look over those in their specialties, and then send them on to the overall committee, who makes the final selections. A professor can sometimes know if a file they've forwarded is going to make it through or not, e.g. if the three Americanists in the dept. all decide that Jane Smith is their number one pick for that year. That's likely what these acceptances are.
  13. Also, getting into Yale means having to live in New Haven ? Really, rejection is the better option.
  14. ND is one of the few schools wealthy enough to have a medieval studies center, but there aren't generally that many medievalists in any specific subdiscipline at any one school. It's not something that should worry you about ND, but it is something that should worry you when it comes to the state of academic employment. If you can tolerate South Bend for 7 years, though, you're probably pretty immune to suffering.
