Sorry to hear that. I had one which was just downright nasty. It went something like: Fortunately, I wasn't that crazy about going there, so I thought it was quite funny.

I'm getting impatient, too! I am very, very close to breaking down and e-mailing the last school that has yet to reject me.

I *think* (and hope for you) it is a good thing. My friend had his application transferred as well (in another discipline), and was accepted into the new program. Good luck!

Congrats! That's great!

I totally agree. While the economy is obviously part of the reason, quit hiding behind the economy as the main reason why they rejected others.

My friend did get off the waitlist for an anthro program. I don't think she did anything, but she was on top of the waitlist. Perhaps you can hunt out who's sitting on the offers, and think of creative ways of getting rid of them? Okay, just kidding!

Congrats, misterpat!

I'd like to blame myself, but all the schools who I emailed asking for suggestions on improving told me, "It's not you, it's us" I'm actually not comforted. I'd much rather they told me why they didn't want me.

Yup, that's the painful part.

For those waiting on Harvard, while I am not in the know, I guess they sent out all their rejections, so you might be on a waitlist. Keep your fingers crossed!

Haha, that's when they should click the auto-redirect button to counselling services.

0/2 now. I am as bitter as I am resigned. Sigh.

??? :evil: Now I am insulted.

I just noticed a post for U Washington admit, dated 8 Feb. Anyone has the scoop on U Washington in general?

Congrats to the Northwestern admits!

Okay, there'll be a lot of passive nail-biting on my part then. It'll take a while for the mail to get to me, since I'm an international reason. It's incredibly expensive for me to call, unfortunately. Many thanks once again for calling, and sharing the information. Best wishes for your application.

*gulp* Now that you mentioned it. They might have sent it out via post. Based on past results, all rejections have been via post.

Wow, that's great! Thanks. Do you happen to know which fields they have notified for Harvard? Does your information just apply to Ancient field? My little contribution: I know for sure that Cornell has notified at least one admit, on the same day that some other poster mentioned that decisions were done, i.e. 13 Feb.

I already started my moping.

Berkeley quite definitely didn't. They sent out all their rejections on Friday the thirteenth. Talk about timely. :?

Any speculations with regards to the lull over the past couple of days with regards to history decisions?

I tend to read start a couple of books, and leave them lying around until I find the inclination to finish them. So right now, the books that I have started are: 1) Fernand Braudel's The Mediterranean 2) Mark Elvin's Retreat of the Elephants: An Environmental History of China 3) Christopher Lasch's The Culture of Narcissism Yes, slow, slow board.

Congrats! And welcome, too! I am sure future applicants will appreciate your contributions.
