Thanks for pointing that out! I didn't even receive an email from Brown mentioning that the decision was available... I find it a bit rude that they didn't even bother emailing everyone, but I guess they did receive several hundred applications.
That's too bad, I really, really liked that program!
Congratulations to everyone who got in, the Joukowsky Institute does look amazing!
Hey guys!
I just heard from the AAMW - standard rejection letter, on the website.
I really hope some of you got in, because the program truly sounds amazing!
This is probably very thick of me, but I have never heard of a Post-Bac. Is it between an undergrad and an MA?
I am from on of the two top Canadian unis and even if we like to compare ourselves with Ivies, I'm afraid we're just not in the same league.
When I talked to a Faculty member at the Joukowsky Institute, he also told me that he didn't remember them ever taking anyone just out of undergrad... Oh well!
Anyone else applied to the UK for next year?
Hey everyone!
i've been lurking on this thread for a while now without participating, but I thought it was maybe time to jump in! (Instead of frantically refreshing my email every 30 seconds...)
I haven't heard from NYU (classics), Brown (Joukowsky) and Penn (AAMW) but I am assuming that they are all rejections. It's my first time around applying, and I wasn't aware how competitive the entire thing was in the US. I thought people generally applied straight from an undergrad degree and took the combined MA-PhD route, but it seems that everyone here is massively more prepared than I thought! Do they ever offer places to people with only an undergrad???
I am thinking that I will go get an MA in the UK to strengthen my skills and try again next year...
