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. Please send me a PM with some information about your PoI(s) and your proposed project. I may be able to shed a bit of light from my side of things/experiences in the department.

The results page seems pretty empty for decisions to have gone to all History admits today versus those in smaller combined programs. Yes! I got into the combined PhD for history and African American Studies ? Manana 1

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. Is it typical of NYU to do interviews?

historyofsloths Posted February 4, 2020 Posted February 4, 2020 Congratulations to the Vanderbilt admit as well! If you're on here, can you say what subfield and if your portal has changed at all?
Michael Scarn Posted February 4, 2020 Posted February 4, 2020 Pretty bummed about the radio silence from Wisconsin, but also not surprised considering both of the people I would most want to work with will be retiring in the next 5-7 years, and thus my POI wasn't as strong of a match. Probably more bummed about not hearing from University of Chicago, which I did feel was a great fit!

I'm in modern European (German) history, and my portal has not changed at all as far as I can see. The official acceptance and some funding information also haven't come yet, so I imagine that the portal will just take a bit longer. historyofsloths 1

I’m still holding out some hope for an email from the DGS, so fingers crossed. Best of luck to you in the Fall!

NYU's making a lot of changes--in the past decade or so it was not typical, but interviews definitely occurred this year in at least some fields. In the past few years cohort sizes have been cut dramatically, which improves the 6th year + internal grants funding situation for those who receive an offer, amongst other benefits of smaller cohorts. I think the reduction in intake is also a response to the realities of the job market. Edited February 4, 2020 by OHSP Marier 1

Wingman4587 Posted February 4, 2020 Posted February 4, 2020 (edited) Rejection wave of Yale is ongoing. Not sure if my application material was reviewed due to lack of TOEFL score. It is unusual that no exemption of TOEFL for applicants with MA degree and without BA from US universities. Edited February 4, 2020 by Wingman4587

jocelynbymarcjacobs Posted February 4, 2020 Posted February 4, 2020 Anyone else just waiting in complete radio silence? Applied to 5 schools and haven’t heard a peep. historyofsloths 1

whatkilledthedinosaurs Posted February 4, 2020 Posted February 4, 2020 Got my first two rejections yesterday and today: rejected from Notre Dame and Yale I'm trying to not have expectations so I'm not torn up about it, but I still am sad and really hope I get in somewhere Manana and historyofsloths 2
