No word for me from Princeton. I know they've done interviews for the program I applied to (pre-doc) but I haven't seen any decisions yet. Based on last year's thread, they seem to move pretty slowly, likely due to a high application volume.

Thanks.  I was under the impression that Stanford would make notifications by the end of January, but nothing yet.  I've made one waitlist (at the top I'm told), but I'd be able to relax and go about my work much more easily if just had one offer!

I'm still waiting to hear from Berkeley, Stanford, Chicago, and Princeton.  Has anyone had news from any of these programs?

I haven't heard anything from Chicago yet, anyone else?

Nor I.

Hi all 

I've been lurking for a week or so and have decided to say hi and give an update.  I'm currently doing an MPhil in classical lit. in the UK.  I did my undergrad studies in the states and have applied to six PhD programs in N. America: Stanford, Berkeley, Chicago, Toronto, Princeton, North Carolina, Ohio St.  I heard Monday that I've been rejected at Ohio St. and yesterday that I've been waitlisted at Toronto.  Still waiting to hear on the rest.  The Ohio St. message was a short form letter.  Seth Bernard at Toronto, however, informed me of the waitlist decision in a very cordial email.  I still have my fingers crossed for Toronto and am hopeful that I may still get one or two offers from the other programs.  Good luck to you all.
