  1. Figured I'd ask you guys since you all know more than me probably! If you go for an MA to the school you really wanted to get your PhD at, when it comes time, are there any chances at all of getting in for the PhD? Like do certain universities prefer not to take students who did their terminal MAs at their university? Is it better to go somewhere else for the MA and then hope to get into the dream school for the PhD? Sorry ahead of time if it sounds like a silly question! Just trying to work out a game-plan....
  2. I checked and still nothing. Does that mean I was probably rejected?
  3. Was rejected from Northwestern too. Like I said earlier, it was really flooded this year so a huge congrats to those who made it!! Kind of glad though I'm not going there. I'm not too fond of their new dean, Dwight. He's rather fond of making cuts so this may be the start of a trend for that school :/
  4. So is that where you have decided to go? You didn't hear from anywhere else? I still am stinging from my "subtle" rejection...
  5. I'm just going to take the time now to say, "UGH." That about sums it up.
  6. This is true. Kelkel, you are obviously awesome if you just got a funded offer to Miami. Don't throw the towel in quite yet. You may be one of the lucky ones for NU, but it is true about the cut on spots and the rise in applicants.
  7. Haha I love the Beatles reference. So I'm taking you as well heard nothing today from the great UW-M? And in other news (and in a similar fashion as to what happened with you), I found out NU is a no-go for me. Big sad-face. Oh well. They get like 600 applicants so it was a really long shot, and it wasn't my first choice anywhoooo. I should probably go watch something ridiculous now. Laughing is good for the soul.
  8. Thanks for getting back to me! It's definitely my top choice, and I'm always unsure with this technological business...history doesn't do interviews. All I know is that they met and decided last week. Guess that means they'll start around now putting it in the system?
  9. Seconded! But it makes me so much more nervous knowing how close it is!
  10. Just called UCLA's secretary. Decisions for history were made and should be coming out by the end of next week. Either you'll be emailed or it'll show on the website. Eek!
  11. Hey, so I'm not applying to sociology at Wisconsin, but I'm applying to history. Out of curiosity, on the MyUW webportal, did it ever change to anything else besides "pending" before you notified of whether you were accepted or not? It seems no one who applied to history has heard yet, and just wondering if it's not boding well if I'm still seeing "pending" and that it's being reviewed by my committee, even though they apparently made decisions last Thursday and Friday.... I'd love any insight.
  12. Maybe they were just trying to appease everyone? Or maybe they're only posted the admitted or whatever. Scared.

  14. When I talked to them, they said they were admitting the same cohort amount as last year,which if you read carefully through the minutes in the past year amounted to about 73 (though they officially printed 61 as they amount they admitted). So I think the 20 refers to the Americanists.
