Out of state tuition cut down to instate, plus a stipend from the apprenticeship to help a little too.
Cuts the cost to ~$12,000 from what would have otherwise(absolutely no funding) been ~$34,000
It blows my mind how expensive MA degrees are in the US! My one year MA at QMUL in the UK was less than £5k!!

Yes, I recommend you write to request your ranking (if there is one). This will give you a better idea of whether you actually have a chance of being accepted. You could even ask (or find on the website) the total number typically matriculated, which put in relation to the number of offers typically given would also give you a good idea of your chances. Many History departments will do waitlist by sub-field rather than ranking, but in the case it probably means that you are either the A or B alternate for your field. Good luck!
Thank you and @Balleu for your advice! I’ve emailed them, so fingers crossed it’s hopeful news! I’d all but give up hope on doing grad school in the US so I really hope this works out!
Also, congrats @historygeek! You must be so pleased! X

Just been notified that I have been waitlisted for Georgetown! Considering my only other communications have been rejections, I don’t feel too bad about it.
This is new to me - Is there anything I need to do? Eg. Should I write a response, or is it possible to request my ranking on the waitlist if I contact admission?
-
Congrats everyone on your admits!!
Unfortunately, I don’t think this cycle is panning out too well for me. I’ve been rejected from Johns Hopkins, didn’t get an interview for UPenn, and it’s still radio silence from Georgetown and NYU.
I’ve still waiting from some universities in the UK, but I’m gutted that grad school in the US isn’t looking very likely now ?

Isn't it funny that Princeton's deadline is one of the earliest yet its decisions tend to be among the latest to come out?
Georgetown seems to be similar! Their deadline was way back at the start of December

I was feeling slightly optimistic about NYU but this is making me panic ?

Anyone know what's up with NYU? I find it curious that there's a few waitlist results being posted despite there being no wave of acceptances yet.
I was wondering this too! It’s the uni that I’d love to go to, so I’m on edge waiting to hear anything!

Someone tell me that I’m not the only one finding today agonising ?

Probably a dumb question, but when you receive an offer from a uni, how do you know if funding is offered too? I know it differs, but do you normally find out at the same time?

Oh cool! I applied to Kent for undergrad, and Oxford for the MSt (I'm in only in third year now!) I think my Oxford result is going to come out before the Cambridge MPhil deadline so I'll go for that if I don't get in. Back-up is Leeds, and if all else fails, I'll be staying in York (my BA). MA deadlines are so late here, meaning I can just apply after I find out about the other places, which is great! I'm already mentally preparing for the 2020 application cycle for the PhD though
Yeah it’s so handy, I only applied for my MA after my BA graduation in July for that September! The turnaround is super quick. Fingers crossed for your US applications ??

Hello!! I'm from the UK too! As far as I know (from the wiser in this thread, and my Yale-educated advisor at my undergrad), results come out whenever, so best not to worry/think about it. NYU releases them by advisor all the way to March, if not later, and Penn has sent out some interviews but no idea what's going on there. Where did you apply in the UK (if you're ok saying? PM is fine!)
I've no idea about Georgetown's History programme, but I was on their campus this summer and it's sick. DC in general is incredible. Their deadline was too late for me, otherwise I would've seriously considered applying, it's just so nice. Good luck!
Georgetown is my long shot - i would love to go, but not sure I will get in!
In the UK I applied to QMUL (I did my MA and BA there), Oxford on recommendation from a professor there, and then Kent as a backup. So I’ve applied to 7 in total, which now doesn’t feel like enough!! Did you apply to any in the UK?

Hi everyone, I’m new to the thread! (It’s a relief to know I’m not in this endless waiting alone!!)
I’m an applicant from the UK, and just recently finished my MA at a university in London. I specialise in late 18th century immigration and constitutional law. I’ve applied to Georgetown, NYU, Johns Hopkins, UPenn, alongside 3 unis in the UK.
I just got a rejection through from JHU and it’s really worried me - you hear so many stories of people being overly ambitious and not getting in anywhere! My undergrad scores were okay, but I finished my MA with a distinction, my GRE scores were decent (q-158, v-161, aw-5.5), and I have some (hopefully!!) pretty good recommendations. I’m starting to worry that I maybe should have applied to some lower ranking programmes. When do you tend to hear back from most universities?
Like i said, I’m from the UK, so the US application process seems very elusive here! I’d really appreciate any guidance!
Thank you in advance!

Just got my rejection from NYU. Saw it coming a mile off, but it’s still disappointing. Good luck to everyone still waiting!
