Stay strong! This is sadly only the beginning. I saw someone posted on the results board they got a letter from Madison...they posted acceptances and will not be announcing funding until March...it will NEVER end... well...it will..it will just feel like forever. I guess it helped me to think about the fact that we have 2 months left until we will be making decisions...that is not a long time AT ALL. gives me some sense of relief and helps me get through.

haha I will not kill you. Yes, he was on my call as well. They told me plan to hear by the end of the month so that is the deadline I am holding them to (not you )

wow really awesome! I love hearing about everyone's interests on here. Such varied interests and ideas. Best of luck on Penn. Keep us posted if you hear anything and we will do the same...5-8 days left now right?! haha

If you don't mind sharing what is your area of interest? Mine is 18th-19th Century America/Borderlands/Native American history, Race.

They told me that 1/31 was pretty booked (my options were afternoon only 2 slots). and that February 7 was totally available so this might reflect that they were doing most of their interviews in late January then the few and the additional ones they seemed to have scheduled after the first round on Feb 7th...seems like they are done though and now 7-10 days! I hope they stick to that...especially since I now have a countdown in mind ha!

When they called and offered me times, they only offered one Thursday (1/30) and two Fridays (1/31 and 2/7)...I think they were just doing them at the end of the week/when it was most convenient for faculty.

Thanks for sharing! Definitely a little earlier than they told me at the end of my interview so great to hear! Thanks for the update!

hahah I totally get that. From what I remember from last time around (2 years ago), should be some big weeks coming up. Here's to finishing a thesis chapter during those two weeks and running and presenting at a conference! Stay busy people! Time will only go by faster then. I do get to see BIll Nye give a talk tomorrow which should be pretty fun! Anyone else have plans for the week?

Hope everyone had a nice weekend and that everyone receives some good news this coming week

I absolutely love the idea of getting the professors a mug of the school I end up going to with high quality coffee or tea! I joked with my advisor that I will get him a gift with a value/quality directly proportionate to the level/ reputation of the school I get into we had a good laugh.

Alright so might be in waves then...what a relief ha I am find being funded in other ways (actually in almost any way!) so have no reason to really worry if I haven't heard anything (at least YET)....Thanks for the update. Definitely appreciate it and keep em coming!

as in by email or online somewhere? or as in you know they have sent out all of their first round acceptances? just curious because I have nothing up on my application status page (the one that showed about what materials you are missing) and on the app site itself it just said "submitted" still but that seems to really just be where you apply not see status... thanks for your help.

Depends who takes offers and the like! good news that they will be reporting by the end of the month though. I hope most programs stick to that timeline ha!

haha did you contact them? Looking forward to hearing from them by the end of the month then!

Thanks! As I've said over and over, still nervous about funding but really thrilled

Thanks! I don't think I could go there without it so I'm really hoping! Definitely thinking positively for you too!
