Safferz, If you have any questions about Philadelphia, PM me. I lived there for over a decade.

Another Rutgers up! anyone have info?

I'm global, and haven't heard anythign yet, and have a number of POIs there.

What language?

ticklemepink. Thanks. Are you going to be at Mills College or Vermont?

Another rutgers one is up!

How did they find out? Was it an email from a POI or an official one from the DGS? What's their field? Thanks!

Not me! But this question needs answered. My application status reads 'no decision' still.

Middlebury!

I'm not formally in a 'Middle East Field'--I study the Cold War in the Middle East so my focus is more international/global/US diplomatic, but I try to have one foot in the regional field. Now I have three years of Arabic and will have 4 after this summer at Middlebury. Best of luck, if you have any questions about a MA in Middle Eastern Studies PM me.

bounban, what time period do you study?

Congratulations! This warms my heart. It also gives me hope. It just goes to show that adcoms care about what you do when you're 18+, not how well you did when you were in high school! Congratulations.

Safferz Do you have a publication in a top tier journal in your field or something?

When should we expect to hear the results?

Yeah I think we are going to hear a lot this week. There's now a U Chicago acceptance up. And someone last week said that this would we would hear from Rutgers (they called them). I suspect Monday's are typically slow in general.

All language classes aren't created equal. They aren't standardized across universities. A year of language training at a community college is not the same as a year of language training at a 4 year university with strong faculty in languages. The adcoms will not equate the two.

Middlebury has already begun admitting people and doling out financial aid. I would move on that if you're going to do it.

Another Penn acceptance up! Anyone have any info?

Keep us updated! What is your field?

Anyone want to claim the rutgers interview-via-email on the results page?

uhohlemonster- What's your field? When do you think we are going to hear about Rutgers?

Thanks! Hope to see you at SHAFR soon. And Haig, what makes you so sure that Princeton will make decisisions this week? I hope you are right!

Thanks, Haig, do you have a regional focus?

diplodocus- Where else are you applying to? Anyone else out there doing US foreign relations or the Cold War?
