  1. Bummer. Were you rejected off the short list, or had you already been anticipating it? Congrats on Texas, though! Great program.
  2. It is kind of strange. Particularly because the single Hopkins listing on the results board mentions that shortlisted candidates are being flown in during March (presumably for an interview). Maybe the department is only interviewing candidates from certain subfields, and not from HB. Anyway, thanks for the info!
  3. Thanks, La Sarar. Was he/she called for an interview, or simply informed about being shortlisted? Just curious how the process works.
  4. Hi all, Thanks for the info. La Sarar, how did you hear about this? Did you email them to ask? Also, do you have any more info about how many HB people got on the list? Thanks!
  5. Also, does anyone know if Emory releases all their invites at the same time? Or is possible that not all subfields have sent out their final invites yet? Grasping at straws, I know. Le sigh.
  6. Just curious -- how do you know the GRE scores for accepted applicants? They haven't listed it on the results search.
  7. Hey guys, I've been brainstorming for my SoP and am curious how you all have approached it/plan to approach it. In particular: 1) When discussing current research interests, how much detail have you gone into? I'm concerned about going into too much detail, accidentally mentioning something that is not exactly accurate or feasible (since, after all, I have yet to research the specific problem in great depth), and appearing as though I lack knowledge. For a PhD application, is it best to keep this discussion focused but general, or is it best to go into as much detail as possible (e.g. briefly mention specific texts, previous academic perspectives, etc.)? 2) If you have several ideas for future research in mind, how do you decide which two (or so) to focus on? Is anyone willing to share an example? Thanks so much in advance for any thoughts!
  8. Hey guys, After lurking around the board for a bit, I finally decided to bite the bullet and register since this seems like a really supportive community!

Is anyone willing to share an excerpt as an example? Thanks so much in advance for any thoughts!
