To those of you discussing the grant benefits for Germany (750 Euros, 1000 for ABD), are there housing benefits in addition to that, or must rent come out of that 1000Euros?

Hi all! The medical forms say that if you can't get them filled out within the three weeks that you are supposed to contact them immediately-->anyone know whom to call? My school can't get me in for four weeks.. Thanks!

To the France applicant who updated the spreadsheet saying they would be done by April 1--did you mean France would be done with selections, or the US side would be done by April 1? Thanks for the info!

Lots of people do the New Haven/NYC commuter relationship. It's not ideal, but you can certainly see each other every weekend. Taking the Metro-North is easy and not too expensive if you buy tickets in bulk.

Yale is not closed today

Perhaps, though the 30th would have been a Friday last year, which is why I was thinking the pattern might be the last Friday in January, rather than January 30. We shall see...

IIE says they will notify us January 31...but that is a Sunday (as I am sure you all have noticed). Anyone think there is any chance it will be Friday instead?

I am currently in the history department at Yale, and I have a few thoughts. 1) I think the faculty is fairly split on usefulness of this assignment. Some think it doesn't tell them anything not found elsewhere in the app, others like it. 2) Write about the book you most wish you had written (ie, one whose topic and methodology you enjoy/admire). I don't remember the exact prompt. Are you just supposed to write a book review, or are you also supposed to discuss what your choice says about you as a historian?
