Really random question, but as I am on the waitlist at UVA while in at a higher ranked school, I'm curious: what is UVA's Classics program like? Anyone know? Particularly the Latin poetry side of things? How is it socially too? Anyone care to chim in?
-
I called the general department number at NYU. I didn't speak to any professors.
-
I called the Classics Department at NYU on Tuesday or Wednesday of this past week actually. They suggested I wait until the end of the week (yesterday) when more decisions were going to be made. I didn't hear anything yet though! They also took my name down. Just fyi...
-
Good luck! That's going to be an interesting and exciting few weeks. Let us know how it goes!
-
By the way, none of the places I am waitlisted at are schools where you have offers so I am really just curious!
-
Congratulations! That's fantastic although you had a tough decision even before today. Why aren't you doing the visit until then? Do you live abroad? Do you think you will winnow down your list to two or three before that week?
-
Hey, thanks for answering my question Eurydice and Agrippina. Yes, the offer I have received is with full funding. I think that I could afford it, and that it would clinch the decision. They did leave it open for me to ask questions. Leaning towards asking about it!
-
Also, I already have a PhD offer at a school I like if it makes any difference.

Hey - so I am wait listed at three schools, none of whom do interviews. It seems as if I am on a very short wait list at one of the schools in particular. Do you think it would hurt to offer/politely ask to visit that school soon so that I could better get to know them and vice versa as I way to avoid my having to make a hasty decision should I be accepted on say April 14? Thanks for any insights and best of luck remaining patient!

Hey - does anyone know what is going on with NYU? I haven't heard from them since they wrote to everyone in January saying they would be in touch for a Skype interview if they were interested. I guess they just send out late rejections? Probably coming today or next week...
-
Thanks. Yes, one of my professors offered but also said I could just write directly. I think I am going to contact the school directly.
-
Hi everyone, hope the waiting game is going OK. Question: do you all think there is a benefit to having one of my professors call a school I am waitlisted at on my behalf? To say that I have other offers and ask about my chances? Or is it better for me to email the school myself to express interest? What are your reasons?
-
Anyone want to claim the Princeton admit that went up today? If so, what is your area of interest?
-
Thanks, Cistai. I don't have a master's degree so it's good to know. It's cool you went out again, this time with a master's and another PhD offer under your belt!
-
Is there anyone out there who did a fly out interview weekend and didn't get accepted or knows someone that happened to? What was the reason do you think? This didn't happen to me but wondering why it happens to try to avoid it.
-
Yes, I was! And I wasn't the one who posted on the boards with the rejection.
-
Got my Berkeley rejection today. Anyone else in my boat? It is annoying but it does feel good to know.
-
Oh, thanks for explaining. Sorry it wasn't better news. Anyone want to claim the Princeton interview?
-
So Berkeley sent out a rejection it looks like?
-
Of course, others may differ on this. I just really don't like interviews.
-
That's kind of funny and is a tough situation. I have agreed to visit an MA program since I do not yet have a PhD admit but do have three waitlists and an interview. But even that is making me crazy because I feel like I might be wasting everyone's time. So I feel your pain. I think you need to be honest with them, and say you are really grateful for the opportunity and think they have a great program but you were fortunate enough to be accepted to a PhD program early and that is your first choice. You could say you'd be happy to talk to them but you just wanted to be honest...I bet they will be nice.
-
Where are you seeing that? I saw that someone got into Berkeley, but it didn't specify AHMA. I am wondering why there are not more notifications about Berkeley going up since they probably accept a relatively high number of students, and whether the person who interviewed with them and posted on this thread is the person who was accepted. Rather futile wonderings... Thanks, Jimleko!

Hey, de-lurking. I've received an interview and am on the waitlist (either in general or for any funding) at three schools. I'm starting to wonder what being waitlisted at three schools means if anything. I almost felt worse once I got waitlisted at the second two schools because it now seems like a pattern. Is there anything one should do to get off the waitlist? Other than replying confirming interest?
