Hey everybody, not to shift the subject or anything, but I can say that I got an interview at the University of Illinois. Not sure what it means, but I just wanted to update everybody who may have applied there or are just curious. Best to all!!!

I can also report that I was admitted to the University of Illinois. They are shooting for a cohort of about 9, and they admitted only three Americanists and I am one. So anxiety is much less now. Best to everyone!

Great! I look forward to meeting you. I am chatting with some other people who will be there just to get to know them beforehand. Feel free to PM me if you want to talk. Best!

i'll be going!

I can also claim a UC Davis admit. Not expected, but happy nonetheless.

Hi all. I can report that I was placed on the "short wait list" for Rice. The DGS told me that they are admitting a total of 6 people this year. I will let everyone on this forum who are applying to Rice, are hoping to go there, or are also on the wait list know that I will likely turn it down this week as I have already had a good offer at another university. If you have any questions about the interview or Rice, I can try to help with what little I do know.
Best!

Wow. It's awesome. Congrats! 
Should we assume that all acceptances were already sent out?

Sorry to hear about that, but congrats on U of I!

Thanks for the information. I hope your interview goes well. 
May I know when you were notified? Did you post on the results page?

Wow. Your information is really specific. Thanks!

I too have decided to commit to UNC. One of the hardest decisions I ever made.

Got some more admissions from two universities. They are not ranked the best, but it's good to know they liked my file. Hope everyone else is having a good Friday!
