PeppermintTea Posted February 24, 2021 Posted February 24, 2021 Anyone else know they have a string of rejections coming soon and wish they would just send them and be done with it? All this waiting and false hope, such a bummer lol somethingClassics, ClassicsCandidate and Lucius Ambulus Caelo 3

All this waiting and false hope, such a bummer lol I'm really, really holding out hope for two schools on my list to go through but I'm Concerned about whether Ivies will bother with me this cycle (I've got a 3.90 from my MA but low languages - only 4 undergrad semesters each because my MA was culture focused I didn't do a lot of languages - and my undergrad record is less than stellar). I'd honestly be really happy at one and kind of "ehhhh" about the other, but we'll see. The waiting IS awful, though, I saw one of the schools waited until the end of March to reject people in past years so that's disconcerting.
herminnia Posted February 24, 2021 Posted February 24, 2021 Does anyone know how many students Yale will take this year for the Classics PhD?

I'm so sorry! This is the second time I've seen this happen to someone; you would think they would be extra careful to spell someone's name right, especially if they were sending a rejection letter. That's so frustrating. I hope you get better news - with your name spelled properly - soon.

Rejected too; I'm 1a/0w/4r for Ancient History and History PhD programs this cycle. Accepted by Stanford Classics, rejected by Harvard History, Berkeley History, Yale Classics/AH, Princeton History. Yale was the last one on the list. Good luck to everyone else, both in this app season and the subsequent ones!

Same here. Actually expected this for long, as I heard from this post that Yale was interviewing. I'm also expecting rejections from Princeton and Harvard to come soon (since they've started interviewing long time ago, and I haven't received anything). Good luck to everyone else in this process!

alcestis21 Posted March 1, 2021 Posted March 1, 2021 Also rejected from Yale. Waiting on Toronto, Harvard, Princeton, and Duke (interview happening late March). Admitted to BU and Michigan, waitlisted at Chicago. Best of luck to everyone still waiting and those making decisions! somethingClassics and ClassicsCandidate 2

Rejection is not good experience. But let's always remember that it doesn't imply anything about us, but is due to 1) pure luck 2) the special covid conditions with fewer fundings and more applicants.
