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 In the mean time, I've withdrawn applications for Cornell and Baylor.

Welp. Silence on my end doesn't bode well for my application at Johns Hopkins. 

Congrats on such great options! I don't think there's any doubt that Hopkins has the better program.

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.

I'm with you here, I haven't gotten any interview requests at all. I'm too tense.

 

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

Same here. I know I should just be patient, but I'm getting so disheartened.

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. :/

Are there schools that accept students without interviewing them, or is an interview a mandatory procedure?

Nothing on my end. 

Same here. We should get some news this week, don't you think?

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!

thank you so very much for that information! I noticed they had interview weekends in Feb in years past, so I was getting a little worried.

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.

Any word from Georgetown?  I heard they are finalizing decisions very soon. 

Just got an email from the department that I got in!

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.

I got an acceptance last week, totally out of the blue (no prior contact was made). But I will be declining it for Columbia soon.
