Hey everything's nice! It's a pretty cool school. I suppose you are also enjoying your life in Columbia?
-
I'm glad you did! Feel free to ask me if you have any questions. I'm also doing colonial Taiwan.
-
Hi there, I would encourage to apply to Brown too! Kerry Smith and Samuel Perry may also work for you
-
I have a similar background with you, only that my focus is Japan - I did my master’s in Japan and I’m not Japanese (US citizen with another nationality, but I hardly call myself American and English is not my native language either), I also got 2 rejections, 1 MA, and 1 Ph.D offer with funding (I guess I’m just lucky) I do feel like US grad schools prefer students with an MA from an English-speaking country, as the POI of the school that gave me the MA offer told me so. But at the same time, for some schools having international experiences is also a plus, so don’t give up!
-
Thank you! And I believe you are right in a certain sense - I received email from POI telling me thy they can only give me the admission to the master’s program.

Hi everyone, this might be a bit random...but I'm wondering if I'm not getting any information from Stanford by now, does that mean a 100% rejection? I' ve seen that people already getting both admissions and rejections...but still got no news till now....

Hi, good to know a Brown fellow! Too bad that I probably can't go to the campus visit....may I ask what is your specialization? I'm working on modern East Asian history.
-
Thank you for your reply! I’m working on a similar field and I guess they only take one student in the same field every year, so congratulations! Hope we can meet in somebody conference in the future!

Hi everyone I’m new to this forum! May I ask which period of Japanese history are you working on? I have a similar background with you (no history major) and I’m working on modern Japanese history and received an interview from Columbia 2 week’s ago...although I got the admission from Brown (grateful!) but still waiting for Columbia’s results so badly....
