TheGradCocaCola Posted January 25, 2022 Posted January 25, 2022 Hello. Has anyone here applied for the PhD in History at Georgetown, Brown and Rice? Did you hear any news? Thank You.

Did you hear any news? Thank You. I applied to Brown and Georgetown. Haven't heard anything from Brown, but had an interview at Georgetown. They said we should hear mid-Feb from Georgetown with final decisions.

I applied to Georgetown in 2020 for Fall 2021, with no success. The rejection was sent to me on Feb 19th. If I'm not mistaken, I saw the results here on TheGradCafe once and I think the accepted candidates got the news at the beginning of February. Those that were not accepted only in the second half of the month. I will confirm this. Would you mind telling me what your subfield is? I'm in Latin America / Brazil. Thank You.

I applied through a different subfield. Happy to chat more via DM.
CoffeeCatsCorgis Posted January 25, 2022 Posted January 25, 2022 Has anyone else received emails from schools encouraging them to apply to FLAS? I've received them from two schools now (I've applied to FLAS at both!). The first was from a grad coordinator and the second from my POI at that school. Wondering if anyone happens to know A. if this means anything regarding my application status or B. if I should be replying with a "thank you for thinking of me, looking forward to hearing back" email?

I got a generic one from Chicago. As much as I'd like for it to be meaningful, I really doubt it.
Mile6 Posted January 25, 2022 Posted January 25, 2022 Anyone able to give more info about that MIT interview listing on the results page? (Was it a generic email or individualized from POI, etc.). I’m guessing they interview everyone they accept?

I got an MIT interview— it seemed like a generic mass email asking us to sign up for an interview slot via a doodle poll and inviting us to a "virtual visit" on zoom
flowersandcoffee Posted January 27, 2022 Posted January 27, 2022 Wow lots of movement on the results page today. Congrats to all the NYU admits!
charmsprof Posted January 27, 2022 Posted January 27, 2022 (edited) Can anyone give me info/clarification on NYU admits? Did you get an email from your poi? Also, if you don't mind sharing, what subfield are you? I'm Atlantic, and was just wondering if anyone in that subfield had anything... which would let me know my answer! edit -- I feel like it would be useful to say that I did the interviews too! My friend also went through interviews for the program and heard back from a different field. Edited January 27, 2022 by charmsprof
aurelie426 Posted January 27, 2022 Posted January 27, 2022 (edited) If any of the other NYU admits are here I'd love to chat more about impressions of the program - shoot me a dm if you're down! and @charmsprof - I'm in a different field from you! Similarly to what someone else posted on the acceptances, I also got an unofficial email from poi. Looks like someone got an interview request from NYU just yesterday too, so pieces are probably still moving. Good luck!! Edited January 27, 2022 by aurelie426 charmsprof 1

It should say that I interviewed on the 12th, but I guess I put it in wrong. I think everything is done, and people are just getting acceptances now.

I didn't actually have an interview, so the process probably varies from field to field and prof to prof Maguire and charmsprof 1 1
TagRendar Posted January 27, 2022 Posted January 27, 2022 Is the other UWM admit (the one who just posted today with the note about MA at UWM and funding) on the forum? Just wondering how you were notified about funding. In my admit email, I was told that we’d be getting word about funding by February 1 and nothing’s come through yet. Just wondering if I need to be checking the portal/PAWS at this point.

There's going to be a lot of it. Striking out on the job market (though I'm employed now!) last year gave me a literal midlife crisis at 35 this past summer, for example. This. is. crucial. Not only for the job market, but for everything grad school related. It is those coping mechanisms that you develop since this moment during admissions that will help you down the road. Needless to say, we are all running on fumes of coping with the pandemic and all... PS @dr. telkanuru I read your article! dr. t and TagRendar 2

They didn't mention anything about an assistantship, which is what we're both waiting on.

automatic_peas Posted January 27, 2022 Posted January 27, 2022 Has anyone heard anything from Harvard? I think acceptances came out around this time last year, if I remember correctly.
TagRendar Posted January 27, 2022 Posted January 27, 2022 @jpc34 That’s what I was suspecting, too, though it’s interesting that their acceptance notification came so much later than ours. Wonder if it’s also linked to field, though.

charmsprof Posted January 27, 2022 Posted January 27, 2022 Got the official notification from JHU. A few of my pois reached out earlier on Tuesday and let me know that they think I have a good chance of making it off the waitlist. Excited nonetheless though.
