Saw two Columbia EALAC admts posted. Anyone wishes to claim that? Is there any difference shown in the application status page?

I've applied to EALC, Korean history program. Don't know wheather they notice admissions separately, but at least you haven't received rejection yet, I would recommend you to hang on there for a little bit more

Thanks I also heard from Stanford history dept. that I am in the wait list, and my POI really wants me to wait for it. Still waiting for Columbia decision.

Just got admission e-mail from Harvard EALC! I'm over the moon!!!

Guess EALC postings are dealaying compared to last year... how's everyone doing?

Any news from Stanford? It seems that there was one acceptance posted at the end of last month and haven't heard any other results yet... I'm killing myself, working on my master's thesis.

It seems like many of dear EALC/HIstory applicants are hearing good news from great programs! Congrats all! I haven't heard a bit from any institution yet, and I saw an admission report of U of Toronto's East Asian Studies PH.D. I guess I'll have to admit that I didn't make it. I'm having really hard time since U of T was one of my top choices among the institutions that I had applied for.

I've applied for Umich dept. Asian Languages and cultures, but haven't saw any interview report. Have you?

I've applied for Columbia and UMich, but haven't heard anything yet either....

Congrats who received the interview offer from Upenn! Sadly I didn't hear anything from the department. Should I consider it a rejection?

You're right. I should call the office tomorrow. Hope we get pleasing results soon! By the way, I have saw your posting that your primary interest is modern Japanese history. I also have interest on Meiji intellectual history! Which specific period are you interested in?

It was a school in Boston. I think it was not an official interview. It was more like a meeting for evaluating my English speaking skill, since I'm an international student from Korea.

Yes, I've submitted my score report in November, and submitted my materials on the due date too(12/15). Since it already passed 4 weeks, I e-mailed them about this problem but still no answer... I'm a bit worried about this. Maybe I should call them if there are any other problems. Other institutions which I reported at the same time with Columbia already received my score reports, so I think it is not a matter of ETS. By the way, it is tiresome to check email hundreds of time a day. Ha...

Thank you! I was so nervous during my interview. By the way, have you applied for Columbia GSAS either? I did, but my status of application is still incomplete due to the lack of official scores of GRE and TOEFL.(since I am international student, I had to take TOEFL for the application.) I wonder if other applicants have same problem with me.

Thank you so much fencergirl! It really helped. In my case, I would still take a shot on U of T and find out any chances for additional money. Actually, I am expected to be granted a master's degree this August, and luckily POI told me it would be fine. I turned in 5/6 applications.(except U of T) I actually got an interview suggestion from one of my first choice institution, tomorrow afternoon. I think it is not an official interview, but my POI suggested me a meeting and I'm so nervous! Best of luck fencergirl and thank you again for a helpful information!

Hi, fencergirl. I'm an applicant for East Asian Studies and History programs too. I've applied a few schools and had U of T in my plan. Could you tell me what is the funding problem of U of T?
