Heimat Historian

That's good to hear Polemical. I had some good correspondence with POIs at GW, including a very nice phone conversation. I hope that helps my chances.

WashU is announcing?!?! That's high on my list.

I agree that today has been quite quiet, especially considering Fridays historically are the busiest day for notifications.

I think I would have gotten some applications in sooner if not for GRE and app fees. I had to structure a budget around when we got paid to determine when to send things. Fortunately, I got them all in under the wire (at least the apps themselves) - the GREs sometimes came a week to two weeks later.

I will agree that the GRE is a racket and quite expensive.

I was kind of hoping my GRE (verbal) would play a bigger part in my admissions. It may yet, but I'm seeing people with lower GREs accepted into some top programs.

35k?!? that's it. I applied to the wrong schools. And you say its determined by GRE score (verbal I'm assuming)?

3/3 Jujubea? wow. Congrats!

I read comics Ashiepoo, not very often but every now and then I get pulled back into it.

JTE, you fished your wish. Looks like Duke is sending out some stuff today.

I'd like to hear from Indiana I think. Or you know, anywhere I applied to.

ok Gradcafe forums, you're on notice: We need more upvotes! I get real tired of upvoting like three things and then get that lovely error message

Yeah work is really tough to get anything accomplished. Just too much going on mentally.

Hey Ashiepoo! Save some for the rest of us 4/13!

My apologies, Josh. I misread your signature.

That's rough Josh. On the bright side at least you have an admit!

Sorry to hear about Northwestern, Leventel. Boom! 1000 post!

I'm right there Ivan. We must have similar schools we've applied to.

We have another Penn State interview reported. Anyone want to claim it?

I'll bit. My top professor choice is Glenn Penny (at Iowa). He's a transnational historian of German culture. His interests seem to align very closely with my own.

It is frustrating to not have heard anything. Just gotta keep your chin up and hope for the best. The floodgates will open soon, I hope. Just hope a POI likes me enough to fight for me.

That's fantastic Chiqui74! And you didn't think you'd get in

That's what I was thinking too. If I see a one off, I question it far more than a slew of reportings.

From your experience Telkanuru, what do you think is going on with suspicious postings? Are people just trolling?

I just checked all my applications. They all say "submitted" or under review or something to that effect. No links to anything else. Maybe I'm still being considered.
