[History of Science PhD Programs for Fall 2020]

I am accepting at UB since their offer was far and away the best I had. 

[2020 application thread]

Hoping to hear from William and Mary soon. There doesn't seem to be a consistent arrival of information via the results page for them.

I did not get in to Penn but haven't had a chance to update my results onto the page. I was accepted at two of my schools though so yay options?

Does anyone know if there are any schools who have released all their decisions yet? And are most schools doing rolling rather than releasing decisions all on one day? Thanks! The wait is making me more and more nervous each day! 

The only one I've heard that does rolling is William and Mary as they do 1-2 waves of admission based on responses. (source: friends applied last year and I applied this year to WM. I haven't heard anything though. Last year my one friend didn't hear until almost april because of where they were on the waitlist other friend heard early one)

FIngers crossed for everyone! I'm hoping that the amount of flexibility in the field will help with admissions but who knows...

Best of luck to you! Where did you reply? 

I wonder if Penn has sent out their interview invites yet and if anyone has received one? 

I haven't heard yet from Penn

What are your interests?

I'm interested in the history of professionalization in science. My current research is more focused on Britain but I am hoping to look at more transnational trends in my PHD work. I'm particularly interested in the shift from 'learned' societies to actual scientific bodies. I applied to Penn, FSU, Michigan, Chicago, William and Mary, UB, UofR and Cornell.
