not sure for them; but i just received my acceptance to UVA two days ago... not sure between that and the MAPSS w scholarship in Chicago, though.

persiandoc, i am in la réunion, which is EST + 9. I would imagine Tehran is similar time zone-wise, so just wondering what time you did your interview. I'm struggling a bit to find a good time that works between the two time zones. Probably evening here, though.

Hello, everyone! Congrats to those with significantly positive advances in their application process. I've been trolling this thread frequently enough that I finally decided to make an account and post. This week brought me rejections from Duke and Brown....nor have I heard any sort of interview-esque news from Yale, Emory, or Northwestern. I'm assuming Yale and Emory are putting me in the reject pile, but I was wondering if anyone knows anymore about Northwestern. I saw two people have received interview requests. Does that make any future for me at Northwestern increasingly hopeless as well??? :-( Would be a shame. As an Africanist, Northwestern was one of my top top choices, and I love the idea of their interdisciplinary clusters. Not sure if anyone else has applied to Virginia, but I also received an e-mail from the departmental grad admissions chair asking me to set up a phone chat this weekend. At least SOME promising news in a flurry of direct and implied rejections. Courage à tous!
