Well, everyone, it's been a wild season of ups and downs, but I've now received responses from all the programs to which I applied, have finished up my campus visits, and have now accepted my offer at Princeton (a wonderful department -- New England Nat does not lie!). I hope everyone who hasn't heard back yet hears in the positive soon, and if any 2014-ers have any questions about the process, don't hesitate to reach out at any time and message me. I'm no expert, but I think I did a couple things right (and probably just as many wrong). Thanks for all the support, history grad cafers! Y'all are the best. So glad to be done with this process. Now on to the real work -- which I wish you all the best of luck in, as well.

Acceptance??? Congrats!!!
 
Congratulations, really!!!
 
It's tough for me to say it, since I really really really thought I was an excellent fit at Princeton and was really really really bummed for not getting in. I think I'll always have a little scratch in my pride... I don't like it, I am not the kind of person that resents the success of others, but it was hard for me to see people getting in. Now that I am (a little) over it, I can truly congratulate you! All the best there!!!!  

I'm almost through with E.H. Carr's What is History. I'm finding it to be a very interesting read.
