  1. I just looked at today's results. You're not kidding. Is this Harvard's version of a cruel joke regarding St. Valentine's Day Massacre?
  2. I see; although I've never heard of anyone picking all their schools two years ahead of time. Thanks.
  3. Are you a junior or senior? Your profile indicates you're applying for next fall and your signature indicates a list of programs. Did you change your mind?
  4. Congrats. May you have the enviable position in deciding which side of the pond to do your doctorate.
  5. Please let them asap when you decide, so those on the waitlist can move up. Thanks.
  6. I can't move from NYC and the consortium is a big drawing card to most of the programs that I've applied. Although coming home on weekends is quite doable for the two programs not part of the consortium.
  7. I would add Columbia's Lehman Center and its wonderful lecture series for Americanists.
  8. United States History is very good, based on their faculty publication output and reputation. I've live here almost my entire life and NYC is doable budget-wise, especially outside of Manhattan once you do your research.
  9. All PhD offers are funded now at CUNY GC. Years ago, before funding cutbacks shrank cohorts, the GC would accept a few unfunded or externally funded applicants.
  10. It doesn't get any shorter than that. Good thing you didn't have to pay for the app fee; otherwise it would have been about $7.50 per word!
  11. Very sorry to hear it. Good luck with your other apps. Was the rejection shorter than the two sentence response that @TheHessianHistorian got from Arizona?
  12. Has anyone (including lurkers) heard of a decision today? The silence level is lower than the jitter noise of a compact disc. Audiophiles and music lovers will probably know what I'm talking about. Frustration abounds! Just want to hear something good or bad, so I can get on with my MA thesis.
  13. I second @fortsibut 's sentiments.
  14. Yeah, I know. No Freudian slip here. I was referring to my advice for his mom because Cal. is a great place to visit. But then I realized the words I wrote is a lot like someone would say on a dating site hoping to entice/draw potential dates.
  15. She can always visit and soak up the sunshine and indulge in all the wonderful things Cal. has to offer. Man, I sound like an online dating site.
  16. Yeah, that's more like it because of their competitiveness.
  17. Yes, definitely go see a doctor. It may be bacteria related. As for anxiety, play your LP records more often and get lost in the music. It will calm your nerves. Also, think positive thoughts about what a good position you're in from having multiple acceptances.
  18. Did the DGC confuse you with someone else? Did they not want to give the real reason? Did they not want to be bothered because too many other rejected applicants are asking for an explanation? Maybe they thought you would probably go somewhere else because of your qualifications, but what they wrote is nuts based on your application.
  19. So maybe that's the reason he recently received both an honorary Russian citizenship and honorary doctorate in theoretical and practical shysterism.
  20. Whether it be law or academia, almost any profession has tradeoffs. I was in law school for a year, but after three days I knew I didn't want that lifestyle. I went back to school and earned an MPA and worked for local government and non-profit after that, but it was stressful in a different way.
