  1. Just admitted to UMD's doctoral program. Anyone else going to the open house on the 12th?
  2. Any further word on Hopkins? I live in Baltimore and I've yet to hear anything- I thought I'd read somewhere that decisions were mailed around the 2nd?
  3. Montholon

    Penn State

    So apparently, according to a professor I just corresponded with up at Penn State, they're only taking people duing USCW, Latin America, Early Modern Global, and China- Modern Europeanists are right out. Anyone have any insight into why this might be/if this is a trend at other schools?
  4. Oh, I'm definitely a Europeanist, but I find Ottoman studies fascinating (and woefully underrepresented compared to Arabic studies)
  5. Orient, what period of Ottoman history are you into? I just saw your earlier post that said you were interested in Ottoman cultural history; last semester I did an independent study about reform in the 19th century (Tanzimat and all that) and have been toying with the idea of integrating Ottoman stuff into my own research- lots to be had here with the connection between revolutionary France and the court of Selim III!
  6. Well, here goes nothing. I'll be graduating with a History and Modern Languages (French and German) double major in May '12, looking at applying for admission in Fall 2012. i'm taking it reasonably easy senior year (except for my thesis) so that I'll have time to do applications, GRE review and all that. As for research interests, I'm probably the black sheep here in that my main interests are European diplomatic/military (specifically, the interplay between changing notions of war, diplomacy, and nationalism from the start of the French Revolution all the way down to 1914, however, this said, my main interest is in the Napoleonic era), so I know my options are limited. Favourite schools so far are Florida State, Ohio State, Princeton, and UNC, but I've got a few others I'm looking at. Anyone else insane enough to want to do military?
