Got my first two rejections yesterday and today: rejected from Notre Dame and Yale  I'm trying to not have expectations so I'm not torn up about it, but I still am sad and really hope I get in somewhere 

Congrats to the NYU admit, could you tell us  the region/time period?

This is amazing, congrats!

Yes! I got into the combined PhD for history and African American Studies ?

I wanna echo this. Waiting to hear back from both schools too and feeling anxious because NYU is my top choice. I'd rather just get rejected now and have this be over!

I am literally overcome with emotion ? I got into Yale!!! 

That's so disappointing. ☹️ Thank you for letting us know.

wow I love whoever this is ?

As far as I know, Brown's offers are at the graduate school right now, and have not been released. That doesn't stop a POI from reaching out, though.

Then again, I'm in France (casual flex), so who knows.

Congrats on the great news! Could you share your field/POI initials?
Also I didn't know that POIs can call... Yikes, I never pick up the phone because of all the spam calls.

Confused about this Harvard acceptance result, especially since it's only one person. Wouldn't DGS presumably email everyone at once?
God, this wait is KILLING ME.

hey fam i was the harvard quasi-acceptance. i got an email from the DOGS for the history department as well as a couple of POIs, saying that we're waiting for the final official decision from GSAS but also largely implying i'm in? i'm confused as well so sorry for creating any chaos. 
good luck to all! 

Constantly waking up at night and checking your e-mail, since it is daytime in the US: The Foreign Applicant Experience™

I get the impression that every program is different. I can tell you that I received e-mails last year (at least 2 if memory serves) to check the application portal for a decision. One was a rejection (which I 100% expected) and the other was actually my acceptance to my current program. I was shaking waiting for it to load, so you just never know. ALWAYS check.

Hi, Early US for me at both JHU and UVA.

LOOL

Email to check the portal to download a rejection IS pretty raw.

A 5 Mar 2015   Nice letter, but overall pretty disheartening. GPA is MA, excellent recs, years of teaching experience, publications, national conferences. Maybe it's because I haven't been knighted yet, and my martyrdom is still up in the air.

I got one for Ancient History!

I received the second acceptance, and was notified by a POI. I work on modern (20thC) East Asia. 
 
 

Seeing other people hear back from the schools I've applied to makes me increasingly convinced that I'm about to get rejected from everything. ? Anyone else in the same boat?

Does anyone want to claim the UChicago offer? Would you be willing to share the initials of your POI?
