Congrats!

Congrats! WUSTL is a great school. Can you list your stats: GPA, GRE, subfields, etc.? Thanks and congrats, again!

Amanda, What subfield are you in? What day is the letter dated? Thanks for the info and congratulations! Also what was your GPA?

Raise your hand if you check the results page every five minutes. *Sheepishly raises his hand*

To where are you applying? Subfields? Stats?

Haha. Sounds like good reasoning to me.

Hmm. So far my prediction has proved wrong. Oh well, I just wish I would hear something.

Yet another result has been posted: Boulder (and I didn't apply there either). Every day seems longer and longer. . .

Haha. Thanks. Hopefully the first line will have more schools listed than the second!

Someone posted a rejection from Ohio State (not me, I didn't apply there) on the results page. Looks like decisions are starting to role out!

That sounds right, especially for history. I don't think the GRE can accurately predict much, let alone your ability as a historian. I would think that it plays a minimal role in your application. Just for the record, did you receive an interview recently, or are you talking about a different application cycle? If so, what subfield(s), school, and when did you hear? Congrats!

Yes, I guess that makes sense. Nevertheless, studying one over the other will be completely different. Philosophical readings, as you know, are usually not, well, anthropological. Either way, best of luck to you in your endeavors. Let us know how the application cycle goes for you.

Why are you applying to two totally unrelated fields? What are your academic interests. For philosophy programs, you need to have a solid background in philosophy to get into a top program.

Yes. I bet some of us will end up at the same place. The waiting sucks!
