I know. I think I might've dated myself by exhuming that gem.

I am waiting on one. After being told that my file is still pending, I emailed for clarification. No response. I agree with you. It seems very late to be still considering apps. I'll just keep telling myself that I am on a list for special people. It makes me feel warm and fuzzy.

Is this, by any chance, at the Southwestern Historical Association Annual Meeting in Las Vegas?

Who can compete with that? It's ridiculous.

I appreciate you taking the time to respond! Thanks!!!

angieray85: I have applied to BU. However, when I emailed my POI, she informed me that she was leaving. Do you happen to know if they have filled Hilda Westervelt's place?

Just in case anyone is still waiting on UMCP, I emailed the dept. secretary and she told me my file was "still pending" and that I would know by April 1st. Aaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhh!!!! What does that mean..."still pending?"

I was also an unfortunate Penn victim. I, too, thought it a good fit and was really hoping to work with Ann Kuttner. I bet they received a ridiculous amount of applications this year.

Thank you for this post. I had pretty much written Emory off, knowing that they only admit those they fund and - after seeing the results page - had apparently filled their quota. I sent an email to my POI introucing myself and the topic I was proposing to research and received nothing. C'est la vie.

summertouch: May I ask what your area of specialization is? Myself, I am concentrating on the Orientalizing Period and Early Archaic. I am hoping to work with Dr. Alexandridis.

To amleta: In regards to BU, this is a response from another member to an earlier post from me: "I noticed that you applied to BU. I just contacted my POI, and he emailed the admissions committee to inquire. Apparently, they are just finishing reviewing apps and are now making decisions. I hoped he would have told me if I was in the 'rejection' pile, because I indicated that I was feeling a bit of pressure from other programs to make a decision." I hope that gives you an idea.

Just out of morbid curiosity, is there anyone else out there who has not heard from any of their schools AT ALL??? Even a rejection would be better than this white-knuckled anticipation.

That's not good news. :\
