unbeliever

Congrats to everyone with offers so far! Please consider uploading your funding info to https://www.phdstipends.com/ - for better or for worse, the funding landscape for PhD students is changing at many schools, unionized and non-unionized alike, and transparency benefits everyone.

Unless admissions practices have changed significantly in the last few years, programs don't interview every single one of their admits. If you haven't received an interview notification from a particular school, it doesn't necessarily mean you're out of the running.

extremely excited for whoever reported the Berkeley admit!

Most of the flyouts for Berkeley (Classics, Classical Archaeology, and AHMA) are happening now. It is unclear whether anyone who was not invited to visit will be admitted.

The Twitter thread in question was about a meeting between Chairs of PhD-offering departments and Liberal Arts College Classics department Chairs. 
A few schools are finally (thankfully) starting to opt to remove GRE requirements now that many graduate faculties have removed their own overarching requirement for them. Watch this (or their) space(s).
The transcript and GRE cost is absolutely criminal especially for international students trying to apply to American universities. I paid over 200 USD for my GRE. I remember Stanford's application cost was 120 USD. Hard when you don't have USD. 
Trust that these conversations are happening! (Mostly led by graduate students.)
Signed, liberal classicist from #classicstwitter.

I certainly was--I'll send you a private message.

Swoocing in to say that I'm headed to Berkeley this fall, and I'm pretty pumped about it.
