Hi kindkw123,
I presume you are considering working with Jim Millward in Georgetown. You can pm me about the program here and what working with Profs. Millward and Carol Benedict (and other historians here) is like.
Congratulations Wullbluomen! (Of course we've met on prospective students day). If IvanBezdomnii would like any additional information or perspective on the program just send me a pm.
Hi Ashlee! Can you be more specific about what your interests are within pre-modern Chinese history (which to me could be anything before the late nineteenth century? Or are you simply applying to the best schools in general?
As posted earlier, all Georgetown admits and waitlists were sent out already after the February 15 graduate committee meeting. The prospective student day is next Monday.
For those waiting for Georgetown: Once the committee has made decisions during the meeting the POI normally emails the successful applicant. So it's quite possible you could hear from your POI tomorrow. Good luck!
You should consider Georgetown. Strong in Middle Eastern especially Ottoman History. Judith Tucker does both Ottoman and Women's history. There are labor historians here as well.
