jocelynbymarcjacobs Posted February 2, 2020 Posted February 2, 2020 Anyone want to claim the CU Boulder acceptance and maybe confirm their field? Thanks!

I’m just reminding myself that I worked hard to get here and that no matter the result, nothing will change that. I hope it works out for myself and everyone else but just remember there’s always next year and if we are truly passionate about this field of study, nothing will keep us from eventually reaching our goals ? good luck everyone Expand On 1/29/2020 at 9:50 PM, aaaddd said: Mine still shows "materials needed" even though I have submitted everything the school required... Expand Penn sent out another wave of interview invites last week and it looks like they are following a similar schedule as in previous years. This means interviews in last week of Jan/first week of Feb, offers around Feb 16th, and rejections in a big wave the following week.

I know some interviews were held last week and that they've definitely made some decisions about who's going to receive an offer (but haven't extended offers). It's a very field-by-field process and I only really have insight into my own fields--feel free to PM.
svjfdbbre123 Posted February 3, 2020 Posted February 3, 2020 Should I assume I’ve already been rejected by Yale if I didn’t get any email today..?

Carrots112 Posted February 3, 2020 Posted February 3, 2020 (edited) Someone on the results page asked what the Yale interview entailed. To my knowledge the interview is required by all graduate programs (at Yale) and is used by the history department as a way to gauge interest. I was asked to talk about my interests, my current studies at oxford, past research experiences, who I worked with and how that impacted my work, etc. it was informal and honestly just an enjoyable chat. I followed up with questions about the structure of the program and source access. Hope this info helps Edited February 3, 2020 by Carrots112 historyofsloths and Sigaba 2

Hope this info helps Expand This post is arguably the most helpful so far this season for next season's applicants as well as for this season's admitted students. @Carrots112 is touching upon the importance of being able to present oneself as prepared, composed, engaged, forward leaning, and personable. Professional academic historians aren't just looking at test scores, grades, and other metrics, they're also looking for information that indicates an applicant will be a good colleague down the line (as in this fall).

I know not everyone who gets accepted will post to GradCafe, but man, only two admits? Can't say it doesn't hurt.

Expand I’m rather down about the implicit rejection. I thought I stood a pretty good chance after speaking with potential advisors who seemed interested in my proposed area of study. My only weak spot was my GRE but I wasn’t too concerned as I was told it wasn’t even considered for the program. Edited February 4, 2020 by Pikepride2000 Capitalization error.
