AnUglyBoringNerd 82 Posted February 5 2 hours ago, historygeek said: Does anyone know if Columbia sends out acceptances all at once I applied to the History - East Asia program (joint program between the History department and EALAC) through EALAC, and I was notified by one of my POIs (who's coordinating the joint program last year) via a Skype call disguised as a third interview (they made an appointment with me via email to say they would like to talk a bit more, so...) before I got the notification to check the portal. Maybe the process is different for those who have a non-East Asia focus, but awwww I am soooo excited and I'm gonna ask my supervisor about it on Thursday! Congrats to those who already got Columbia acceptance! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
historygeek 223 Posted February 6 (edited) I honestly feel like I could handle a rejection better than all of this waiting! (knock on wood, please don't reject me) Edited February 6 by historygeek 1 elx reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
adsperli 2 Posted February 6 I was beginning to find this waiting process kind of debilitating when it comes to finishing my thesis work, but I've gotten out of the funk and have accepted that it's not the end of the world if I get all rejections. Radio silence is hard to cope with though. I'm both appreciative of this site for the insight I can get from the results page (knowing nothing would practically kill me), but it's also discouraging to see schools I applied for sending out acceptances. I thought I had a shot at UVA UPenn, not so, I didn't do a great job with the 10 page limit. 2 Karou and latecalifornia reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WhaleshipEssex 30 Posted February 6 Figured I'd pop in to congratulate everyone on their acceptances. I remember the anxiety from last year's cycle and I'll be plunging back into next time around, I don't envy the stressful waiting period you all are going through.

MARTINt 9 Posted February 6 (edited) Isn't it funny that Princeton's deadline is one of the earliest yet its decisions tend to be among the latest to come out? Edited February 6 by MARTINt Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

HardyBoy 28 Posted February 6 Thanks @psstein - I'm still pretty stunned! My research interests tend to be at the intersection of history of technology and environmental history. 1 psstein reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

hahahahaleigh 18 Posted February 7 Hi everyone, does anyone have any information about USC? It seems that they admitted some people a few weeks ago, and judging from previous stats, they should have sent out rejections last week... Is it safe to assume that everyone else has been rejected?

Not sure about rejections, but I think they've admitted everyone (I recently got an email about the recruitment weekend that included everyone). I haven't heard anything about wait-lists, though, so that might still be forthcoming. Fingers crossed.

mediumatcha 11 Posted February 7 I just received my funding information via email for PhD in history: "The department will provide you fellowship funds totalling $28,500, plus tuition, fees, and health insurance." Does this mean that 28,500$ is my living stipend and is in addition to all tuition and fees? I ask because some schools call the total funding a "fellowship" and list the living stipend explicitly as one part of said fellowship. Thank you! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thank you! plus = in addition to. https://grad.berkeley.edu/admissions/apply/fellowships-entering/ Before you divide $28.5k by what ever number, don't forget to do your due diligence to see how the taxes are going to hit you.

Karou 97 Posted February 7 In the same boat as many you on the not feeling a whole lotta love coming my way from Columbia, I feel prepared for the rejection as well, just wish they'd let us know. Me and everybody else, I know, I know. I'm trying to stay away throughout the height of the waiting period, but I hope everyone's holding up okay! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
