No proficiency interview, nothing. I wonder if that should make me more concerned. *I* believe I'm a strong candidate and *I* think it would be a fantastic fit. But who knows what the adcomm's vision of the newest cohort should look like? I think I will call tomorrow and see "if all the decisions have been made". I bugged the grad coordinator a bit pre-deadline and have been trying to show a less hyper side since then. I do think I could be shortlisted. My application and experience is a bit unusual; they could be trying to verify it. Well, congrats on the good news! Here's hoping to get some myself tomorrow (or at least something I can work with).

And sorry about your rejection. That's never any fun. Good luck with your other programs.

Thanks for responding, gollux. My status still has that same message. I haven't received an acceptance email, nor the website rejection. I have no idea what's going on. Hmm, to the MA History, 740 V, 1.5 Arabic person: would you mind commenting here or anonymously on the results page what your email said? Also, if you remember, when did your status change in relation to the email?

Has anyone still not heard from CMES? There are some rejects/admits on the results page, but I haven't heard anything and wonder if there's a problem or if the committee is sending out notices in waves. Thanks!
