If the person who was rejected from Indiana is on this forum, were you emailed to check your portal or by someone in the department?

Being in Limbo makes me want to throw up but also laugh until I can't anymore. Hopefully, we know soon.

I have no email or changes to my BC portal either.

Gotta say, I expected there to be way more activity this week. Only a few schools have sent out decisions

Anyone have insight on when Michigan might send out decisions? I saw their website said March but I noticed in previous years it is usually around this week.

Got an email from University of Illinois Urbana that their admissions software is having issues. Some people might have already received their decisions but others will get them once the issue is fixed. Hopefully tomorrow.

Anyone heard anything from Brown? I saw a joint program acceptance but nothing else.

I think they probably got a POI email as I know multiple people on this forum applied there and no one else has posted any results. I wouldn't be surprised if they send out notices today or next week though.

They will start rolling in in a week or two. I think It'll be more nerve-wracking then because it could happen anytime.

My heart sunk a little when I saw the Virginia acceptances. No official rejections yet though.

My POI there didn't mention anything like that. I want to say it might depend of your POI as he let me know that he and the other European historians were quite enthusiastic about my application and hoping for good news. Then again, who knows because their website says they won't be sending decisions until March. There is definitely enough time between then and now to be called in to interview.

How likely is it that Northwestern and Brown will send out decisions this week? I saw that last year they were both around Jan. 31st. I am feeling a little anxious as the day gets closer.

I didn't apply to UCLA but I think a lot of schools advertise the 5-year timeline as some students can complete it in that time but most end up going over for one reason or another. I have noticed a lot of programs have started putting 5-7 years as an estimated time frame.

Wanted to share that I heard from a European history professor at UMichigan today that their committee met and did final reviews of applications yesterday and they have sent them on to the graduate committee for final decision-making there. He did mention that they had only about 15 spots for the entire department for this application cycle and 5-6 open for European applicants. Some people might be getting decision letters earlier than the posted date on the Rackham website. Wishing everyone luck!
