  1. I applied to many Ph.D. programs in history and I was only accepted to my bottom choice school. At this school I'd be able to work with a professor who researches my interests and I'd be able to design my major focus in pretty much the exact way I want. However, the school does not offer secondary and minor fields in my interests. I was not offered funding. The town is extremely isolated and far from my home in a completely different climate. I had crappy GRE scores, so I'm pretty sure that was a major factor in all those rejections. The ultimate question: Do I accept the offer despite the above reasons or do I turn it down, improve my GRE/application, and do a second round of Ph.D. apps? My friend thinks I should attend AND apply again so I won't get screwed either way, but I don't know if I could be happy doing that. Advice?
  2. Has anyone heard from Amherst yet? I applied there for a Ph.D. in early modern European history and my status remains stubbornly as "applied." Has anyone gotten any news or does anyone have inside information about when they'll be sending out notices?
  3. I'm waiting on U-Mass Amherst for a Ph.D. in history. Has anyone heard anything yet from this school? Any inside information on when they're going to start sending stuff out?
  4. I applied for Ph.D. in history to work under Dr. Waite. Why do you say it's an awful place?
  5. I was accepted to a Ph.D. program at University of New Brunswick in Fredericton. Has anyone ever lived there or visited the city? Any advice?
