    sorry for asking this again but does anyone know if admission decisions for columbia classics could affect their classical studies program? i interview for classical studies this week and was told they will let me know by the end of next week, but i am also worried that decisions from classics might affect my chances? 

    You have already got result from Columbia Classics program? And waiting for classical studies?  No news for me for the classics PhD.

    Oops, I am mistaken—that post was not from an international student.

    iam precisely an international student....So does every student need an interview and when will they send out acceptance? Normally it should be the end of January?

    It was Yale for their Ancient History dual PhD. For context, my application included a list of all texts I've read in the original language as well as my transcript so they had access to pretty much all the information on my formal training in undergrad. If you want more details, feel free to PM me, because I honestly don't think they went about it in a very productive way, and it felt more like they didn't believe that I actually could do what I've done. Which, you know, not a great way to start.

     

    It was for UC Berkeley's History department in Ancient History. I'm not entirely sure if the difference in the questions was due to, but it's probably worth noting that I'm not receiving my BA in classics, although I have four years of training in both languages.

    Thank you hadrianic! Wish you very good luck!

    Did anyone else get an email from UChicago? They were just advertising their "academic culture" and various Humanities programs, with a link to my application...but no acceptance or rejection! It feels kind of like they're baiting me.

    No...I did not even get this advertising email. What do you mean by 'with a link to my application'...is that an email specific for you or a standard email? Very anxious about UChicago..

    I've had 2 interviews (both not strictly classics programs, so take with a grain of salt) and they were honestly polar opposites. In one, I was asked a lot of questions about my research and thought processes. They really pushed me deeper into my topic as well as thinking of various ways I could pursue it in graduate school. The other mostly asked me questions about my language training. They barely asked about my research and instead focused on things that were pretty technical in regards to preparation. Both interviews had discussions about program structure and people I could work with if I ended up attending, and both gave me enough time to ask questions. They were each about 20-30 min as well if that helps.

    Thanks! Which school asked the language training! I am curious in what form they asked and how to answer.

    Same here. I'm feeling pretty anxious. The good news is that based on the results page it seems that results are trickling in very, very slowly, so hope is certainly not lost! Hang in there! 

    But usually the result page is not so updated, so I hope that people can share news here!

  6. Congratulations for Yale and UCSB interviews and UMich admissions! I didn’t apply to these...Still anxious waiting emails. Anyone has heard anything from Chicago, Columbia, NYU, Princeton, Harvard?
