I figured as much. Oh well. Thanks for the info!

Quick question, I still haven't heard anything from Boston College, NYU, and Illinois. Should I contact those departments? It seems like it's pretty late to have not heard anything. At this point I'm assuming they are rejections. Thanks!

Thank you for the info! Here's to hoping!

I would be interested in the NYU situation. I haven't heard anything yet either. I'm assuming it's a rejection at this point.

Does the Illinois Urbana-Champaign admit have any other info?

I noticed something on the Results board from UT-Austin. Has anybody else heard anything from them?

Thank you all for the responses! It will help tremendously as I sit down to the applications. Also, I just recently got back into the country after a month of travel and I haven't had the opportunity to reach out to POIs. Is it too late to do that now? Thank you all. Cheers!

Long time lurker and occasional poster, I have found a ton of wisdom on here so I thought I would try and tap into it. So, I am looking to do a PhD in medieval history. My research has primarily looked at the High Middle Ages, Christian history, gender, monasticism, and Cistercians. I just completed a MTS in church history from a well respected school, GPA 3.75. I did my undergrad at a large state school and majored in history and anthropology with a minor in religious studies. GPA for undergrad was 3.25 overall, 3.4 for my history major, 4.0 for my anthropology major. I have presented 3 papers and published a book review. Also, I serve as the editor-in-chief of our theological journal. GRE scores were 630 V, and a 5 on the writing (I think, I haven't looked at them in a while). As far as languages, I am fairly confident in my Latin (I've had 3 years and I did a directed reading last semester in which I translated the primary source of my thesis.) I also did German as an undergrad, but it is a bit rusty (I'll be doing some refreshing on that starting asap). I want to study at a place that has an interdisciplinary bent. I am looking at Northwestern, UT Austin, Notre Dame, NYU, Ohio State, UC Boulder, BC, Catholic, and SLU. I am wondering if I am competitive enough to get into these. Am I aiming too high or too low? Thoughts? Are there other schools that are strong that I haven't though of? Should I retake the GRE? Thank you all! Cheers!

Got a call from Boston College for their MTS this morning. I will hear about funding in a week or so.

I'm not a business major, but I know that Arkansas' business college is generally ranked well, somewhere in the top 25 of public universities, and has a ton of resources because of Sam Walton and Wal-Mart. However, I don't know anything about the economics professors.
