  2. Thanks for the heads up! So I called and spoke to a Lisa and she said that those who were accepted to the Phd have already been notified. Thus, if you haven't been contacted, connect the dots. The MA's are still being considered and will hear by the end of April?! Oh well.
  3. turn back
  4. salaams! I am in the New York City area and also anticipating my Columbia rejection. I am really busy these days and I don't know if I can meet up anytime soon but I just wanted to give you the heads up on وليمة لأعشاب البحر. There is a pdf of it on 4shared.com. I know its not the same as having the book in your hands but it's the next best thing!

  5. Alf Mabrook! (as i break into a series of zaghareet)
  6. Kattar khayrkum guys. I hope everything works out too. I looked into Georgetown earlier and was informed by a prof there that they don't have a classicist on staff. As for Texas, well, I like liberal states. I can't imagine living in the south or in the middle of nowhere. That's very close-minded of me but I am being honest with myself. I am looking forward to learning French this summer! Thanks for the constructive advice Samarqand. All schools should inform of their decisions by March 15th, correct? Again, congrats and good luck to all.
  7. Hi All, I am new to the forum. I feel pretty down and need to express my sense of regret and loss somewhere. I did not strategize well when applying to Phd programs. I only applied to 3 schools: Yale's NELC, Princeton's NES and Columbia's MESAAS. My interest is Arabic literary criticism. I was wait-listed at Yale, no word from Princeton and my last hope is Columbia. I just don't like the odds. I tried studying Arabic Literature as a fully matriculated student at an Arab university but I was almost deported for being in the country too long (3+ years. The country's government is very hostile and suspicious of prolonged American presence. I won't mention the country because I love it and hope to go back there someday). So, I come back to the States and can't get into a program. To that I say, la hawla wa la quwwata illa billah. Where do I go from here? Sorry for my rant. Any words of encouragement would be greatly appreciated. On a brighter note, alf mabrook to all the acceptances and I wish everybody on the forum the best!
