Thanks @Karou! I'm kind of in shock, to be honest. I spent an extra year in my MA program after I decided to apply to doctoral programs so I could really focus on applications, and I think that paid off. Edited to add: Congrats to the Harvard HOS admit, whoever you are!!

Happy Valentine's Day, everyone! Here's hoping departments all send us love today, and not another Valentine's Day Massacre.

Speaking of Wisconsin...any insider updates? ?

I applied to the Princeton History of Science program, which accepts people separately from the Princeton History program. I don't know for sure, but I'm guessing all the HOS admissions have gone out, since I saw some rejections on the page, too. I don't think regular Princeton admissions have gone out yet, though.

That was me - it was an email from the department chair, with official confirmation to follow. Fingers crossed for you!

I was, too! I'm sure it will be here tomorrow.

Congrats Yale admits! Your excitement is infectious. Any other Yale HOS applicants lurking around here who are also hoping this means we'll hear soon?

Thanks @psstein - I'm still pretty stunned! My research interests tend to be at the intersection of history of technology and environmental history.

Thanks! I wish all programs had a grad student lurking on Grad Cafe giving updates like this.

I just found out that I got into UC Davis. Doing a happy dance!

Congratulations, @Karou!!! May this be the first of many happy posts.

Had this exact same experience with my CV yesterday. Take a deep breath, and trust that committees will extend a little grace (and/or not even notice!).

Hi everyone! I mostly lurk on this forum, but I wanted to share with people who would understand the feeling: I submitted my last application today! Woohoo! Of course, now the painful wait begins...
