Hi—can I also ask about waitlist protocols? Is there anything you can do? or a way to know how seriously you should take the waitlist as an option? //in specifics, has anyone gotten off the Rutgers waitlist so far, or heard anything?

speaking of doomer vibes... is anyone else just feeling straight dread after receiving an acceptance? I have an offer from a top 30 program (according to US News) but near the bottom of the top 30. (are these stats real?) I applied because there are many professors that I would be happy to work with and it's a great seeming program in the city I already live in. But does that translate to the job market? And not even the academic job market but any specialized history related job that requires a doctorate? It's always been my dream to immerse myself in the academic and social world of a Phd program, and really dive into research and build my own scholarly perspective, but at this point it feels like its potentially at a massive cost to other aspects of my life and future. Is there a point where I should accept that the dread is maybe better intuition than my previous hopes and plans. I'm just wondering what everyone else is thinking..

wondering if I am prematurely mourning Rutgers and NYU? any thoughts?

big bummer if true…but i don’t even see that post on the results page anymore? I have to stop checking this page

Hi, I just got an interview request for a 30 minute interview with the CUNY graduate center. I saw the previous posts with advice for the Berkeley interviews, but am curious about how much I should prepare for this interview. Also is it standard for them to interview or is it likely because they need more information about me? Thanks for the advice!

I was sure it was going to get sent last night but still nothing..I don’t get what they’re doing, unless the acceptances were all “unofficial” and the automated acceptances are coming with the automated rejections…

I saw that someone was accepted to Princeton, have acceptances already gone out?
