Now I wish I had applied there! I'm also in Early American History. Or at least I'll be if I get in anywhere.

UVa is notifying, according to the results. The problem with the despair is that it's not totally unfounded; it IS possible that one will be rejected from every school. It's certainly not unprecedented.

Same here. There were only a couple I didn't feel were too much of a reach, and one of them has already notified :/

Now I feel like all my schools were reaches. FML.

I think if schools said "We'll notify applicants on Xmonth, day, year," it would be so much less stressful. The worst part is the uncertainty of the WHEN.

Pretty much

UPenn or Penn State?

Well, then, there goes my shot! I doubt the DGS would call (or email) some accepts and not others, even if official notifications will be sent out later.

Thanks! Did he call you? At least it's not the same POI. This is so stressful.

Bear, do you mind saying who you mentioned as your POI?

I know someone who has kept every rejection letter he's ever gotten. He's in academia too, a tenure track professor.

So, now William and Mary has started notifying. It's one of my top choices. That's three of my schools who are (presumably) notifying and I've heard nothing.

That's not old either!

Also, I'm a bit older so I suppose that already puts me in the non-traditional bracket.

I didn't mention my son either, not because of fear or anything but because it just wasn't relevant. Harvard did ask in the supplementary application, but only them.

I, too, have a kid, although he's not an infant. He's 6. Ashiepoo, I think you mentioned something about your daughter, how old is she?

Ashiepoo, I can't remember, did you ever mention your subfield in this thread? I'm trying to take heart!

Last night I had a hell of a time falling asleep because immediately before I went to bed, I read about 3 people being accepted to Minnesota in my field I have heard nothing at all from anywhere. I just tossed and turned, thinking that if I can't get into Minnesota, I can't get in anywhere. I'm keeping busy at work, but I'm having a hard time putting the defeatist thoughts at bay. I'm so exhausted today.

I didn't have an interview. Now there are 3 Minnesota accepts. That's it, I'm not getting in anywhere.

I was really hoping for some good news today to countract my crappy day.

Congrats, ashiepoo, you're killing it!

Question for those who applied to UPenn, what does the status of your application say? Mine says "Ready for Review" when I look at the checklist but it's a recent thing since they thought I was missing documents previously. Just curious.

Gah. I just saw the Brown reject. No email for me and nothing on the website.
