If Yale hasn't gotten back to us then should we assume a rejection or wait list? According to the results page, historically they send acceptances on the same day. Someone already posted earlier this week that they were admitted, so I am assuming they've spoken to people who are admitted. 

I don't think we should conclude wait list or rejection from Yale. No one else has posted an acceptance. That one person seems to be an anomaly. I'm hoping for 2/22 to be a day of clarity.

I agree, there's hope for us yet!

I was just informed by one of my professors that I was accepted to BU's American & New England Studies program! This is my first accept and I"m so ridiculously excited!!

If you're also waiting, it sounds like they have made their decisions and hopefully they'll be notifying people soon!

Congrats!! Have you received anything formal, either by email or on the portal? I’m still waiting to hear from them and didn’t expect anything until March. 

I was waitlisted at UNC if that helps anyone still waiting to hear. Has anyone had any movement on U Delaware (Am Civ)?

Haven't heard anything formal from BU yet. Admittedly, I'm actually already a student here, so one of my professors heard through the grapevine that I got in and spilled the beans. No word of when they're going to send out anything official, but I asked one of my friends who is in the program right now and he said he didn't get the official call until early-mid March :(

I also just got rejected from UNC. Congratulations to those who made it to the next round!

Does anyone want to claim the 2 Harvard acceptances? 

Hi! Lurker here dropping in to second this question...

I just called the American Studies dept at Harvard to ask if all acceptances have been sent out, and I was told they haven’t been sent out at all. So, very curious to hear from whoever received a voicemail!

Ouch, really? That means someone's lying to mess with people's emotions, or (maybe worse) getting false-hope punked...

My *hope* is that the staff member I spoke to simply doesn't have all the information, and they've started...but perhaps not finished? 

 

P.S. Sorry to add confusion to this already very tense time--I just thought it was worth sharing!

That seems likely. Perhaps it's a case of POIs unofficially notifying applicants, and official letters haven't been sent yet?

In any case, gods, I really hope it's neither of the options that you mentioned @halcyonday, either would be horribly cruel!

I reached out to the Administrative Director and he told me that he will hear from the graduate school this upcoming week, hopefully by Monday the 25th! So maybe there is some funny business going on? (but if not, congrats to those accepted!!)

Well, good luck to all you Harvard applicants regardless! I'll just be here... checking my watch... waiting for Brown.....

I didn't even apply to Brown, and even I'm waiting to hear about their admissions! Sending luck to all Brown applicants!

Oh my gosh, thank you so much for calling and finding this out. I'm so relieved as I thought the results page meant all had been sent out and I was out of luck!

Haha, Brown must've heard me! Aaaaand... rejection. Oh well, still looking forward to my trip to Northwestern Thursday. :) Good luck to @magnegresswrites getting off their waitlist now that other decisions seem to be out!

I'm sorry to hear that ? 

but thank you! I appreciate it.

FYI to those who applied to Purdue: Earlier this week I emailed the DGS of American Studies inquiring into my status (assuming rejection) and was informed that I had been waitlisted for the program. So if you haven't heard anything, do follow up.

Has anyone heard anything from NYU for Am Studies yet? Trying to work on finishing my thesis (at the tail end of an MFA right now) and the anxiety is making any kind of work/job hunt almost impossible.

I just got my official email from BU, so hopefully you'll hear some good news soon!

Haven't heard anything yet! Interviewed with them two weeks ago and said I would hear back in a couple of weeks. Hopefully we hear something by Friday? 

And I totally feel you. I'm currently working on undergraduate thesis and the anxiety is such an impediment to the workflow! Sending ~ positive vibes ~ your way.

If anybody's applied to the UCLA Asian American Studies MA, did you hear back yet? Prior years show acceptances around Valentine's Day, so I'm feeling a little bad about this one :( And I'm also really anxious about Irvine because there's like no results at all here on the Cafe (for Culture & Theory)!

I called C&T today and they said results would be out by the end of the month! Also super anxious ?
