  1. I believe that Berkeley and Yale decisions have gone out. Not sure about any other programs, though. Anyone know about Harvard or Columbia? Interviews???
  2. Where did you hear Berkeley sent out an interview? Just from a friend? Are of interest is early/mid 19th century, I suppose, something connected with crossover between literature and intellectual history, slavophile v Westernizer stuff. One thing I can say for certain is literature track as opposed to linguistic. Doesn't do any good being worried about decisions. We can't change them. I do not, however, ever think it is necessary to contact the program directly about your status. That is just going to aggravate them, although I'm sure it would not have any bearing on decision-making. Are there no other slavs out there?
  3. Yale, Harvard, Columbia, Berkeley. Sounds like I may be out of luck on Berkeley, though.Their program certainly did strike me as the most difficult to get into. But yeah, I have no idea how many applications these programs get, nor do I have any sense of what it takes to get in. It's difficult information to find for either specific programs, or even the field of Slavic studies in general.
  4. Also, cokitty, where is it that you heard you should have received invites from? Who has sent already?
  5. I don't think there is anything to be worried about. There haven't been any posts in the admissions forum about slavic programs except, I think, for rejections from Princeton (and they have particularly early deadlines). I think Berkeley has the earliest deadline (mid December versus early January), so they are likely the first people you'll hear from. And from looking into the admissions announcements from past years, people usually don't hear anything until late january at the earliest (around now, to be fair) and only from Berkeley. The rest of the notifications, at least for the programs I follow, come throughout february and march. I can say that I received request for an interview last week from Yale (and posted about this in the admissions forum). I'm not sure if they are doing those one off, or if there were a whole bunch sent out. The problem, really, is that people applying to slavic programs don't seem to be very active on grad cafe, and that makes for difficult predictions for people in our situation. Best of luck, and keep us all posted if you hear anything.
