Does that mean you applied for South Asia as well? Wow, I really didn't think that there'd be so many applicants in this field. I did indeed apply to work with Bose. My proposed project was (operative verb tense, as it's all over now) on oceanic travelogues from early colonialism.

hey ironduke, i applied for south asian history as well. and from the look of things, we both applied to similar places. so far, i've been waitlisted at emory and at cornell, with rejections from everywhere else. sadly, i only have harvard and nyu left to hear back from, and it seems like they've already sent out their acceptances. could i ask as to what your field is within south asia?

do you guys reckon that all those who were supposed to hear from NYU have already done so? i was rummaging through the submits page and it painted a very disheartening picture: those who were accepted were notified on the same day (albeit through varied means, i.e., snail-mail, e-mail, phone, etc.). i suppose that's that then. sigh.

Does that mean those accepted to Columbia have already heard back?

Hi guys, I know almost everyone here had probably contacted their potential advisers ahead of applying, but I was wondering if anyone thought to stay in touch after submitting their applications? Regardless of whether you did or not, though, my question really is: wouldn't it prove prudent to do so?
