  1. Anyone know when Duke will post rejevtion notices to our sites?
  2. I know...I am a Duke applicant. I was just saying that there are other schools.
  3. Eh, it's just one school. There is time.
  4. And... No letter from Duke for me...another rejection along with no letter from OSU?? Dunno... Sigh. I'm just gonna assume the worst.
  5. People please please please post your info with your results... Please? So we can compare notes.
  6. This is going to be a dumb question, but I still want to ask: do decisions come out on weekends, or only during business days?
  7. Sorry, sorry... I totally read RNG's post wrong! I have not heard from anyone.
  8. RNG- me! Eastern Europe, Romanian history specifically. I totally read this wrong!
  9. So, a question: what does this whole "waves" thing really mean? If you are not accepted into the first wave, for example, does that mean you weren't as wanted as those who were? I am just curious about how this all works. I'll go back to checking each of my app statuses now...
  10. Ahhh now there is a UNC admittance...and nothing for me. *wah*
  11. My app still says "pending" as well. Congrats, Junot!
  12. Good point. I'll hold out hope, too.
  13. One from OSU! I guess this means I am rejected though since I don't have an update to my status. Congrats to the poster!!
  14. I started a second MA in the meantime. This is something I can continue with even if (I hope!!) I get accepted into a PhD progam. And I am working a lot. And I am still failing miserably at not compulsively checking the boards and my application statuses. Sigh.
  15. Was the school Pitt?
  16. Ooooh you're mean!
  17. That they are reviewing your application and have not yet made a decision.
  18. It's funny because I never know if this applies to me. I have an older brother, by six years, and he finished college. My mom finished high school, no college. My dad almost finished college but dropped out to become an entrepreneur. I am the only one who went on to get a grad degree (MA) and am the only one hoping to get into a PhD program. So does this make me first generation since my brother graduated from college? Sorry if this is a dumb question, but like I said, I've never really known how to answer this and for some reason felt dumb to ask.
  19. Halcyon + On + On by Orbital has been my go-to de-stress/celebrate/mourn/etc. song for over 15 years. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b1yJ7t0Y254
  20. If you want any more thoughts on it, feel free to PM me as I was in PC and know many other RPCVs in NGOs and international affairs.
  21. Have you considered a stint in Peace Corps to get connected with NGOs, etc.? While the time doesn't pay (except for stipend and a bit of money at the end of the two-year term) there is ample opportunity to network in-country and possibly find a job for after service.
  22. Anyone have any advice for my post? I just don't want it to get lost... Thanks, all!
  23. Okay I have a question. I already have written my SOP for U:Illinois but I wanted input on how people interpret the request in the SOP prompt for language studies. What should be included to satisfy their request? "A statement of purpose/personal statement is required and is also submitted electronically. The statement of purpose/personal statement outlining your intellectual interests and goals is one of the most important parts of the application. It should include an estimate of your ability to do research in a language, not your own, which can be no more than three pages in length as part of your statement of purpose/personal statement." Thanks for your input!
  24. So he is applying to the MA program then? I am sorry to be dense about this, but PhD apps aren't due until January, so this is what is causing the confusion. **stress-ball here**
  25. Good question...I'd like to know this as well as I am applying to the doctoral program here.
