To the IU Bloomington history admit on the results page -- were you notified via email, portal check or something else?

No, none that I've seen, just rejections so far. Just checked my portal and it still hasn't changed either.

10 spots is brutal... I'm sorry to hear that though. You still seem like a great applicant. Best of luck for your other choices ❤️

I'm not sure whether to be nervous or excited... maybe nervo-cited?

I don't know how helpful this will be, but I was dealing with the same issue a couple of weeks ago -- checking every portal every 30 minutes, obsessively checking my spam folder in my email, scrolling through page after page of decisions. I decided that whenever I was too anxious to do work for my classes but knew I shouldn't doomscroll Gradcafe, I would pick a stupidly long book and read as much as I could stand until the anxiety went away. Currently, it's War and Peace (which I'm actually really enjoying). Other things I've been doing is limiting myself to only checking this forum page instead of the results page and checking the history applicants group chat I'm in on Reddit. My philosophy is, when I know, I'll know. There's no point in scrolling hoping to see some lost decision and just making myself feel worse when I could be doing something nice -- like taking a walk, or listening to music, or getting a coffee. Best of luck to you! We'll know eventually... it's just a ride to get there.

Thank you, I hope you do as well!!

No worries! I applied for the dual MA in History/MLS in Library Science program. For history I want to focus on medieval religious women, mental health, and asceticism. What about you if you don't mind my asking?

Has anyone applied to/heard back from Indiana University Bloomington? I saw a bunch of their other grad departments are releasing decisions yet it's been radio silence for history thus far.

Not technically from GradCafe but from the r/gradadmissions subreddit that I thought fit here:

Wow, mega congratulations!! Where did you find it on the portal? Mine still just says submitted (which I assume means no dice, but hey, Duke was my reach).
