I agree. I wouldn't bother them. It is only the very beginning of February. It would be reasonable to e-mail them by April.

Congratulations to all!

Hi! Welcome to the forum! It is a pleasure to greet someone from Israel! Check the Results page: are there reported acceptances/ rejections from your programmes at your schools? (check the date carefully: this year?) Most humanities and arts programmes have not started reporting any decisions yet. I am not sure about Psychology. Even if there are any reports from your programmes, it does not necessarily mean you are out. Sometimes, there is a significant time gap between acceptances to the same programme.

Someone just reported a rejection from U Chicago. God, they notified some people early this year!

Also in the UK. It i painful to spend mornings knowing that checking e-mail is pointless since everyone on the East Coast is sleeping soundly and adcoms on the West Coast are only going to bed.

I agree completely. I am not greedy. Dear heavenly powers, just one school and full funding and I am a happy bunny!

Someone just reported admissions to U Chicago for European History! (Congratulations to whoever it may be, by the way!!) It is beginning indeed....

I use 'advisor'. It seems that it is a more widely accepted spelling.

I am not qualified enough to speak about US job market but I am quietly positive that if you apply to universities abroad, ranking will matter a lot. If you try to do research abroad (contact institutions, libraries, individuals), ranking will help. Obviously, it is not the only factor. No one ever said it was.

In my discipline, only 2-3 acceptances were reported on gradcafe so far. In early February, it is bound to get more exciting!

GradCafe has the Results section. Most results if chosen to be reported by GradCafe members may be found there. All the best with your admissions decisions!

I'd say 'No'. Try one journal where you want to be published. Ideally, one writes an article with a specific journal in mind. Then give editors some time to get back to you, and if they reject the article, move on to the next journal. At least, that's the advice I got from my professors literally last Friday. Perhaps, it works differently in different disciplines though.

I am not applying to Princeton History but to a similar interdisciplinary Humanities programme (generally regarded as the actual No.1 in its field in the USA). The rumour has it for us that the on-campus invitation is very much part of the recruitment process.

You should be hearing back in March indeed. Acceptances after less than two months of waiting are very rare for Oxford. No need to worry at all.
