Hoping to revive this forum with application deadlines approaching! I have read through last year's forum several times and it freaks me out a bit. It did help me focus on History programs and not just American Studies.
I am definitely applying to Boston, UNC Chapel Hill (History not AMST because it applies better to my research interests), Georgetown (History), and am still debating about Brown/Yale for AMST and UMass Amherst (History). Where are you all thinking?
