Mathology

Got into Wisconsin, this is my first admit since Stanford waitlist.

Hello, I got a reject from Princeton University yesterday, but I am waiting on Stanford and U-WM. For Stanford, my POI reached out a few weeks ago to confirm that the department had nominated me, and the last hurdle is for the subfield to get a slot. With the acceptances for Stanford on the result page, I am yet to get any information from POI, any possible thoughts? Just curious!

Ohhh interesting topic you've written on. Thanks for recommending the other literatures, I will find time to peruse them. Yes! I received a reject from Northwestern, seems I will have to withdraw into my closet for now lol. Trust you are well, and hope you've your decisions and or offers! Cheers.

What a sad application cycle for me! Applied to Northwestern and Buffalo, PhD African history. Interviewed with my POI at Northwestern (though he warned of super-low admits based on research field), hence, not that sad but sad lol that i've got a reject. The sadness doubled when I heard from an informal source few days ago that Buffalo (SUNY) have budgetary cut and won't be going forward with all application.... though no formal information about this yet...I had high hopes at SUNY as I've secured both Primary and Secondary POI already! Those are the only schools I applied to! Any shoulders to cry on here...lol (I just got a personal note from my POI at Northwestern, so emotional and motivational, Covid-19 really wrecked a lot) drops mic! Withdrawing to my closet!!!

Concerning Northwestern, I emailed my POI few days ago, and he stated that decisions will be out in a week (next week).

Anyone applied to PhD History at University at Buffalo (SUNY) here? I heard they have cancelled the application process for Fall 2021 cohorts based on budgetary reasons. I reached out to the DGS already,expecting feedback for the past two days. It's frustrating lol. Does anyone have more information, I will appreciate.

Yes! the National Archives at Ibadan housed lots of records on colonial history and their huge database of colonial and postcolonial Newspaper is bonus. Recently, I have been doing some archival search there. Interesting to know that your Masters research was focused on gender and women studies in West Africa. Could you interest me more on the research? Those are interesting reads you highlighted. I'm presently reading Oyeronke Oyewunmi "The Invention of Women: making an African Sense of Western Gender Discourses" I do hope we bump into each other as well to have a comprehensive discourse (smiles). I wish us the best outcomes.

Hello, I applied to African history PhD at Northwestern et al with research interest in gender and women studies, and geographical focus on West Africa. I have both Bachelors and Masters in History from Nigeria (University of Ibadan). Sincerely, the wait for admission decision hasn't been funny at all. Checking my email almost every day. Nice to know I am not alone. It is just safe to accept that admission decisions are not rolling out till late January and mid-February.

I got the admission to international history also. But without scholarship

I received the mail on March, 3rd....possibly they are still sorting out the remaining mails, I know some couple of people that are yet to receive also

I am on the Reserve list for Euroculture as well. I don't know if there's a way to know one's ranking on the Reserve list.

Is there anyone applying to U of C for Fall2020 admission intake. I'm applying for MA History, and I would like to know how they allocate funding (scholarships) and GA to International Students.

I hope too. However, I took my time in going through the last thread for 2019 applicants, I think the most important factors are: your motivation letter, recommendation letters and academic comes last.

Hello @Menocchio II I'm also applying to International History program, I have combed the past forums but not much of International History applicants so far........hope to see you in Geneva. Best wishes
