I was interviewed on January 4th. My application is currently under review by the Degree Committee, and I’ve been invited to apply for some scholarships.

Of course! In general, I’ve been asked about my future research plans—the direction I see my research taking—and things like a book or other scholarly work that’s inspired me.

Has anyone heard if EAS at Princeton has been interviewing?

First acceptance! Unofficial offer; Penn EALC's PhD program.

No clue. Couldn’t find anything on Reddit or Discord. How’s the cycle going for you so far?

I haven’t heard back yet. It’s possible that they haven’t begun the interview process yet, but it could also be the case that we’re not on the shortlist. Hoping for the best!

I haven’t heard back from Princeton either, so they might not have begun interviewing.

Of course! I just received emails from some professors I’m hoping to study under earlier this week. Finished one preliminary interview this morning.

Zoom! I’m American, and currently living in Japan. What are you interested in working on at graduate school?

Yes, all three do. I’ve been invited for two interviews so far. Where are you applying?

I’m not sure… there doesn’t seem to be a good reason.

Princeton, Penn, and Cambridge (UK). How about you?

Thanks for creating this thread. Interested in working in premodern Japanese history myself. Cheers!
