Hey, I think I saw a mention a day or two ago that they are still making decisions (including acceptances). Could be wrong, but maybe try scrolling back a page or two.

Yay! I see another acceptance to SUNY Buffalo. Is it anyone on this board?! I've already sent my acceptance paperwork in, so I'd be excited to talk to whomever this is. Thanks! Yeah, probably because I'm viewing it on my phone. Oh well.

Weird...mine just says this: "------=_Part_21_2052294837.1362666259957 Co"

I just got an email with an "Application Decision" subject line and gibberish in the body of the email. Nothing changed in the Zzusis site yet, though.

I think I'm the only one who has applied to Montana State's American Studies program in the history of thegradcafe, but in case I'm not...just got an email asking me to apply for RA and TA positions and saying that the application committee will meet at the end of March and notify in April of acceptance/rejection. The stipend for TAs is $8500/semester plus tuition remission for 6 hours a semester only, no stipend for RAs. I think that makes up my mind for me. Buffalo's fellowship, it is.

Same here. I've also been advised to complete grad school close to where I want to end up, which is the US.

Sorry, phigirl. Still two more though, right?

Yes, zzusis. Thanks, you too!

My application says "unavailable" right now. I wonder if they are updating statuses? Let's hope so!

Absolutely!

Same boat here! I also have two dogs to add to the mix. : p I own now and am very worried about finding a place to rent with my dogs, one of whom is a pitbull. Anyone have advice for finding housing long-distance?

Kglad, have you heard anything yet from WSU? I saw a result or two but haven't heard anything else. Seems like a long time since someone had news.

Sorry, phigirl, but I'm glad you can feel like it's behind you. Looks like you're only halfway done--surely some good news is on it's way!

I don't know. I would still like to have options. I'm usually not very forward about things like that, but I was tired of waiting to hear. Hopefully they don't decide I'm annoying.

Yikes! I figured since people are already hearing from Ivies, and since I already got a fellowship offer from my top choice school, I could email my remaining two (state university) schools to inquire about results timeframes. Having a mini-freakout.

Thanks, yeah, it was about a week exactly from the time I got the email until I got the paper version. I'd maybe give it another week or so just in case--maybe they are just super busy in the office or something. I'm always afraid of seeming too pushy, but that's just my own read-too-much-into-everything way.

I received an email from the grad school with a letter attached with my offer that I am supposed to sign and return when I decide. A few days later, I received another email from the department informing me of another future email that I received a few days after that with paperwork from the department. I also received a generated email from my website status being changed on that same day. Yesterday, I finally got my official letter from postal mail, which was the exact same thing that was attached to the first email. Hope that makes sense...still having my morning coffee. I know how you feel--I don't like any loose ends or anything up in the air. Hope you receive it soon!

I haven't heard anything about one. I was planning on looking into it, so if I hear anything I'll let you know.

Sorry, I never answered your question! I'm still waiting on a couple schools but very interested in UB. Looks like you're still waiting, too?

My focus is Native American studies, lit, & language. I still have a couple schools to hear from but this program is one of my top choices. I only hear good things about the city. Ani DiFranco moved back from NYC, so that's gotta say something, lol.

The American Studies program is actually through the Transnational Studies department, but I'm sure there is overlap with the big emphasis on interdisciplinary scholarship. What's your focus?

I was just offered a fellowship for an American Studies PhD at Buffalo. I'm curious about renting with a pit bull type dog who is super friendly, loving, and submissive.

Congrats, kglad, here's to more good news coming your way!

Received a SUNY Buffalo offer today. Full finding and a Dean's Scholarship.

Nope! That's all the email said.
