Well I have an update on my wait-list status at Notre Dame. I received a phone call today relating that the professor I desire to work with would like to meet with me before he goes to France. They will pay for the journey. Any thoughts on this?

I am waitlisted at Notre Dame. I was contacted by the director of graduate studies notifying me that primarily due to financial constraints the department has to admit fewer students this year. Thus, I am on a waitlist of no more than three student alternates. I am unsure whether this is good or bad.

Is it about time to give up on getting accepted to Johns Hopkins, or is there still hope?

Well my interests are rather varied. I have applied to programs for French political and social history, particularly in light of Anglo-French relationships, in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries, with particular interest in the Bourbon Restoration.
