All I can say is....go to Russia and you will soon learn to love American bureaucracy!

No no no! You shouldn't have sold it. There is a wonderful drawing application. You simply clear the grid and go crazy. It's like your own portable etch-a-sketch, how can you beat that? 8)

Sure. I'll let you know when I get it. I think it kinda sucks that the letters have just been chillin on someone's desk for a signature. Couldn't they get their work study undergrads to forge some signatures.......I think I am just bitter...haha

I really like Math also. I mean I am an engineer drop out turned historian, but I tutored high school kids in math and physics throughout college..lol And I LOVE my TI-83 Plus!

WTG! Stanford is great. Congratulations

I was FLAS candidate...maybe they rejected me early because my app for FLAS had to be in by this friday...don't count yourself out yet. You never know

Re: Illinois I called to see if I should submit my fellowship app for a language that I had completed a month ago and the grad director told me that on Feb. 2nd Illinois was meeting to decide and I would hear the following week. Well I never heard, and the fellowship is due this friday. I called to confirm my belief that I was not admitted ..and was told that I was not admitted. Apparently, the letters have been sitting on someone's desk and have not been signed. You should be hearing soon. At least the secretary was honest, she even said "I feel you have the right to know now so you can make other plans"

No go on history at Illinois....oh well. lol

Called to check on fellowship, and was told I was rejected by Illinois Letters are ready to go, haven't been signed yet...so all those who are waiting...you should be hearing soon. Good Luck!

M'am..lol Thanks for all the well wishes

I'm hoping my life in Pittsburgh has prepared me for Michigan weather! lol I don't know if I am going to go there, but I am certainly leaning toward MSU after that funding!

Thank you! Yep, you're right..I am in history. I am pumped....people are paying me to read, teach, and learn Russian...lol

Full fellowship, living stipend, paid summer work for five years! OMG!

Ok....just to reiterate...all those with horrible GREs...there is hope! I just received a fellowship for full tuition, living stipend, and funding for summer work for five years! Totally freaking out right now! lol I feel like one of those self-help tapes when I say this...you all CAN do it and you will ALL do it! Good luck everyone and screw you ETS! lol

Yesterday I was accepted, I have until this Thursday to confirm travel arrangements, admit weekends is February 24th-27th. Kinda short notice, but manageable...Now I am running around trying to get mid-terms moved and get permission to miss classes...lol

Michigan State!

Michigan State. I was thinking about applying to UMich because it's a great program, but the faculty didn't quite match my interests.

Nope...I'm the Michigan one. Thanks for the well wishes Good luck everyone!

I got in somewhere! There is hope for all those with bad GRE scores

Whoever predicted this week was right. I got my first acceptance, after the department told me I wouldn't hear until the end of March!

I got in somewhere! To all those with horrible GRE scores, there is hope! lol

Hey there, So I checked the results page, and someone listed that they received an acceptance letter from Illinois-Urbana. The lady who emailed me said they were only meeting February 2nd to make decisions......I am thinking I didn't get in, if they already dated letters and someone received one.....the stress is killing me! By the way, if the person who got accepted is reading this.. Congratulations on your admission!

Hey there, When I had my phone interview for a history phd program, we talked about GRE math scores. I told her I was dissapointed in my math score because I used to be an engineer. And she told me that they don't care about math at all. She also said that if a person has a high math score they are pleasantly surprised and that means the person is smart and she started laughing. So....I think it depends on the program and school, but I don't think it matters a great deal.

Hey Amanda, That part wasn't all clear. It may be just for people applying for FLAS scholarships, but then again...it could be everyone. Sorry I can't be of more help!

Nope, it is Illinois.
