KA.DINGER.RA Posted February 13, 2018 Posted February 13, 2018 I know i'm being impatient, but I'm going to need to hear from UCLA sometime soon.
Almaqah Thwn Posted February 13, 2018 Posted February 13, 2018 I apologize for the delay and I hate to be the bearer of bad news- I was at Baylor's preview weekend and didn't want to post about getting accepted into another program while I was there. However, I was the UCLA acceptance into Hebrew Bible! However, I just also got accepted to Johns Hopkins' NES department! So, I'll keep you guys updated on what I know on my end. In the mean time, I've withdrawn applications for Cornell and Baylor.

I don't think there's any doubt that Hopkins has the better program.
felakuti Posted February 14, 2018 Author Posted February 14, 2018 I haven't heard back from a few schools, and they're not listed on the results page by anyone, but for some reason I'm losing all hope. Has this happened to anyone? I know I should wait...but it just feels late to be hearing back at this point. Uff.

Nonetheless, I have decided if it doesn't work out I'm leaving the US for either Iran or Turkey, maybe even for good.

KA.DINGER.RA Posted February 15, 2018 Posted February 15, 2018 It looks like notifications for Yale had gone out. Even though it was a longshot, I'm wishing I had applied to Penn and Yale instead of Chicago and Harvard. It's too late at this point to shift things up though. I need this Brown interview to go REALLY well if I want to do Assyriology. :/
felakuti Posted February 16, 2018 Author Posted February 16, 2018 @KA.DINGER.RA agreed on the UCLA comment! Also, does anyone have the scoop on Princeton? Years past, they've had an interview weekend invite out by this point, but I don't see any posts on the results page.
KA.DINGER.RA Posted February 16, 2018 Posted February 16, 2018 Whelp. UCLA sent out another NELC email. That might be the ol' nail in the coffin for me on that one, folks. Damn.
AghaDehlawi Posted February 18, 2018 Posted February 18, 2018 Are there schools that accept students without interviewing them, or is an interview a mandatory procedure?

Mospeth Posted February 19, 2018 Posted February 19, 2018 Anyone have any idea when Penn makes decisions?

I'm not sure and the results page isn't particularly helpful either. Super stressed because Penn is my number one choice but it's been complete radio silence since submitting my application.

I've been told that they are aiming for early March. I didn't apply there even though I did half my MA there as an exchange student because the two main anchors in regards to Islamic studies, Cook and Modarressi, are nearing retirement and aren't entertaining new PhDs... Good luck to all who applied there though!

AghaDehlawi Posted February 22, 2018 Posted February 22, 2018 I have been told that UMich NES and Duke Religion decisions are out!
KA.DINGER.RA Posted February 26, 2018 Posted February 26, 2018 According to the results section, it looks like someone was admitted for NELC at Harvard.
displayname343q Posted February 26, 2018 Posted February 26, 2018 Hey, someone on the results page asked about Columbia MESAAS. I got an email last week from my POI about a week ago, then a short skype conversation. A week after the meeting I got the official notification.
eln Posted February 26, 2018 Posted February 26, 2018 The University of Washington decisions are out.

I got accepted to Georgetown and there was no interview or anything. I submitted my application and then radio silence until I got the email notifying me I was admitted. So not all schools do interviews.
