Congrats and thank you for your timely reply! Applying to History does make sense. I was nervous to see your posted result because I applied to Chinese history, but now a little bit relived. The name seems not bad~
Actually, I was wondering whether the two East Asian History acceptance was from the History or EALC department. Anxiously waiting for new reports. I am not sure but I guess UChicago history does not have waitlists.
Just received an email from University of Washington (Seattle). The DGS said they had 136 applicants and might admit eight applicants. This is my first result, feeling lucky enough. The UChicago acceptance made me really nervous yesterday. Good luck to everyone!
