Hi, all; long time lurker, first time commenter.
I just saw that a William and Mary rejection notice got put up--so I am now officially nervous (W&M is one of my top schools). Since I am currently living in the UK but am having all documents sent to my parents' home in the states, I literally beg them to check their mail every hour or so until it comes (thankfully, only a few schools only respond solely through snail-mail nowadays). This week is the big week for me: my top 4 schools typically get back around the last week of February, so they should be trickling in over the next couple weeks.
By way of introduction, I study the intellectual history of the 18th and 19th centuries, with a focus on the early American republic. More directly, I have most often looked at the connections of religious thought and its larger ideological climate. My masters degree will be in Theology and history, my BA was in English and history, and my PhD will most likely be in history (though I do have hopes for one American Civilization program). I have already one acceptance under my belt, but it is another UK school and I'd like to have some options in the US.
Best of luck to everyone.
