Congrats TMP and Haig on Ohio State! That's great news and a great school. I guess I can only hope I've been waitlisted.

Hey Cooperstreet and haig, Looks like we have Columbia and Vandy in common. I'm interested in the U.S. role in French decolonization in North and West Africa. Good luck to both of you with Princeton! That would be a nice school to get into.

Thanks Goldie. That makes a bit of sense. I guess I'll find out more on Monday; maybe they just stopped in the middle of their rejections cause it was late at night. My last name is towards the end of the alphabet. Congrats to you! You've really been cleaning house around here. It's quite impressive, especially knowing how competitive things are right now.

Congrats to all the Wisconsin and Berkley admits! Two quick questions. Are any of the Northwestern admits Americanists? And, does anyone know how Northwestern makes decisions? Thanks a million.

Hmm, well my interests are tied to France, so who knows? I surely don't. Maybe our application response is lost in some vortex and we'll have to battle an evil dungeon lord to find out. My guess is I'll die in the process. I did have a dream last night that I got into one of my schools, and the campus visit was a trip to Copacabana. I'll blame that on too much Portuguese studying yesterday. Anyway, congrats again on all the acceptences to Northwestern. Sorry to all of those who didn't make it in. Not a fun feeling.

U.S. foreign relations. And you?

I don't either. I wonder if some parts of the department have made decisions and others haven't. Or maybe the system is just slow to upload our rejections.

Congrats to all the Northwestern acceptences! It really is a wonderful program. Is there anybody out there who doesn't have a decision posted to their Northwestern account? Maybe the person posting rejections got tired and stopped halfway through. My status just says submitted.

Hello fellow UT Austin Rejects!!! And congrats to everyone who got in or wait listed!!! I have to say it wasn't fun getting my first rejection, and UT was a school I thought I had good chance of getting into. It was the only school I allowed myself to get my hopes up for, just because I had heard some positive feedback through the grapevine. I think that just shows how in the end all the variables such as funding, hierarchal deference in the department, department needs, vision, and the fit and quality of those in the same subfield compared to you all play a role in whether you get in. You can't take it personal, even if that doesn't make it hurt any less. It looks like things are pretty competitive this year. I guess that's why I applied widely. Anyway, congrats again to all the accepts. And dear friends who didn't get in, I'm feeling your pain.

Hey friends, Congrats to all the acceptances!!! I'm sure that feels good. I just wanted to share that I found out a little while ago that I've been accepted to Texas A&M. It would be a very good situation. My advisor is a great guy and scholar, and he has a lot of interesting contacts. It definitely reduces the stress waiting to hear back from the remaining schools I applied to. I would have posted earlier, but I didn't want people freaking out because it was so early in the game. Here's hoping for more news soon, but I'm not expecting anything for 2 1/2 weeks. Also, this week I have the chance of meeting someone at one of the schools I applied to. I'll post if I find out anything interesting; I know it is a school others here are interested in. Okay, back to work.

Yay!!! I'm glad it worked. And yes, it is rather sad that is what solved it. On the bright side, maybe our $105 application fee will help them fix the problem.

I don't know what just happened, but I somehow got it submit. I clicked on it, and it gave me the same error sign. I clicked on it again, and while it was loading, I clicked again. Somehow it worked. It was a delayed double click type of action. Maybe it will work for everyone else, or maybe I got lucky somehow. Gotta love technology.

I sent another email, referencing the previous one I sent, and tried to be even more detailed in my description of the problem. I'll post if I hear anything back. Hopefully they get it figured out soon.

I also got an email, though it addresses uploading supplementary documents and not the financial aid section. Did anyone get an email addressing the actual financial aid part?

Yeah, I have as well. I've been trying off and on for the past week to submit it, but nothing seems to happen. I just sent off an email asking for help. I'll let you know if I hear anything back.
