Heimat Historian

I'm surprised there are still so many programs who haven't really announced yet. I guess it's still somewhat early.

Oh yeah! Good point. Colorado is cold too. Lol

KBHistorian you got an official gw rejection?

CU is going to fly me out for their recruitment weekend on March 5-8. I'm so excited (and terrified because I hate flying)

Thanks everyone! I'm so excited. The professor there is one of the first I identified as a possible POI. I heard a podcast with him discussing how he landed in his field and he talked about how they brew German beer in Namibia. That really resonated with me as far as cultural transmission and it kind of crystalized my interests.

I do enjoy a good beer. I hear it's absolutely gorgeous there.

So, I know I've been Mr. Mopey around here. Tonight I got rejected by Minnesota, but...... I just was accepted to COLORADO! I'm so happy. I did a dance and everything.

Congratulations to the Vandy admits. Sorry to hear about W&M Chiqui.

That's a good point Aubstopper. I'm wondering if some of my schools will notify a second round for TA-ships rather than fellowships.

Happy birthday Ivan. Hope you hear some good news today.

Never discount the ability of trolls to ruin your day (not that is necessarily true, but it's certainly in the realm of possibilities). Oliveur I feel your pain - I've not heard much of anything from my programs so far. Also, I'm taking a serious break from the results page. It makes me crazy to know people are getting acceptances when I've gotten nothing.

I saw the same thing Chiqui. Not holding my breath for some kind of magic admission at this stage.

I'm not sure Brandeis will ever dig itself out. Over 100 inches of snow, much of it still accumulated.

Congrats to the madison admits.

My money's on my boy Lincoln. He's got reach in his arms.

So no phone call from Penn State today. Here's hoping for tomorrow.

Congrats tipmar. What's your field?

I had an interview with them a couple of weeks back. I worry I didn't do well. I'd be kind of devastated if I blew that opportunity.

Penn State! I hope I get a phone call!

Historygypsy were you accepted into American studies at Penn State? I ask because I applied to their history program.

Congratulations Leventel!

I just want to be accepted somewhere!

I second that upvote!

Looks like someone emailed Illinois and was told decisions have been made. I supposed I'll wait until I hear for sure, but not looking good.

I am all for keeping in touch. I think it's a great idea to have a virtual cohort. I really still wonder if the other board groups are like this.
