Ayyo, according to the GSAS website, they start notifying in mid-march, but in terms of how many students they'd be looking to accept, I think that all depends on each individual department, no? I may be wrong, but saw that no one had responded yet. Don't worry, you're not alone! I still haven't heard from any of the programs I applied to. In bocca al lupo!

My top choice would be NYU, followed by Brown (though they may not even accept anyone for my program this year... wah wah). Though if I got a YES from any of the schools I applied to, I'd probably laugh, cry, pee my pants, and eat an entire cake to myself. hahaha.

Oh wow! haha, I was supposed to be in Florence this year as part of the MA program with MIDD but decided last minute not to sit in another 30Gs of loan debt for a MA.... were you at the MIDD campus last summer? I bet you know all the people I studied with this last summer! haha, awesome small world. Well, I hope we hear back soon! How are you liking the program in Florence?

Hey! I can't seem to find a recent forum to settle my anxiety haha... I'm waiting to hear back from 3 programs: NYU, Brown, and Harvard for their Italian Studies/Romance Language PhD programs. Does anyone know when I can anticipate opening my mail box to a Si or No? It seems NYU send notifications mid March... but the programs I'm applying to are relatively small compared to others. I started the MA program at Middlebury last summer but would like to be a full time student during the year working toward a PhD so I'm undecided about whether or not to go back to MIDD this summer... depends on what happens with these programs. I've been trying to keep in touch with a prof at Harvard as much as possible so my name becomes engraved in her memory haha... sooo.... anyone know when those programs send out acceptance/rejection letters? Luckily I have a job now so the time is passing much quicker that it would otherwise... but I'm a bit anxious none the less. grazie
