So maybe there is some funny business going on? (but if not, congrats to those accepted!!) So, somebody just listed that they were wait listed at Harvard?? What's going on? Has anyone from this forum heard from Harvard? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You should have gotten an email by now if you haven't checked recently! Haven’t gotten anything.. they need to just reject me already so I can get over this. Was it an email to check the portal?

Very sad, especially because I had extensive, very positive contact since the summer with a POI there Maybe you're waitlisted?! jpbends 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lissabennett1 Posted February 23, 2019 Share Posted February 23, 2019 Hi. I’ve been lurking for a while but I was wondering if anyone has heard about UT Austin American Studies. I feel like I saw a post about waitlists but no admits? Nothing comes up on the results page. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks! Reached out to the Graduate Coordinator last week and they told me that they were trying to notify students in three to four weeks (so two to three weeks now). But I'm taking that as an implied rejection since folks were already waitlisted (meaning they know who they accepted already?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sickeagle Posted February 25, 2019 Share Posted February 25, 2019 If anyone is waiting to hear from University of Hawaiʻi for American Studies, they have started to send out decisions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rdneon Posted February 25, 2019 Share Posted February 25, 2019 Wow, I did not realize there were forums on this site. Have only been checking the Results page - who knew there was this whole other space for me to bask in my anxiety and dread? Exciting! @halcyonday @swarthmawr @FriendlyNeighborhoodWolf sooooo slow on the uptake but I am one of the UT Austin waitlisters, as well. Super weird that it seems no one has heard anything in any direction since the 6th. The way it's been in limbo for weeks has been giving me way more anxiety than any of the outright rejections. Congrats to all who have been accepted so far! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
