Some places won't interview (in my experience Brown), while some do (in my experience Yale). Thanks so much! I haven't received any interview calls at all and it is getting nerve-wrecking. Just one wait list and one rejection this far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

automatic_peas Posted February 2, 2022 Share Posted February 2, 2022 Looks like Princeton acceptances have started coming out— guessing if I haven't heard by now it's a no? Maguire 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kashew_Nuts93 Posted February 2, 2022 Share Posted February 2, 2022 Has anyone heard positive news from Columbia? Even unofficial ones? I had a good chat with a POI in September (I’m an early modernist) and I’m wondering if any early modernists have heard about decisions yet. Also, anyone have anything good from UChicago? Has everyone who’s been admitted been informed by their POI? Should I assume a reject if I haven’t heard? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do not if it's an official email or email from the PoI but at least one international acceptance has been sent. Possibly South Asianist.

Just piping up to say that I also had a Yale interview in January, in the second week, with three professors for African History. They also mentioned that only 1 or 2 people are admitted for this field. Haven't heard anything back so far - have you? Best of luck to you! Hi! Unfortunately, no news on my end yet...but the interview didn't go very smoothly for me, so who knows. I have been hoping to hear something this week bc they suggested late January, early February as when they'd be in touch. Fingers crossed, best of luck to you too. cafe0294, AlQayzar and MikhailM 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had a very cryptic email from POI at Columbia last week, basically saying she is hopeful for me but that the admissions committee hadn't made final decisions. She asked me not to make any other decisions until hearing from them (not that I have any to make rn lol), which she said she hoped would be soon - no concrete date though, I'm sorry.

emeraldsapphire Posted February 2, 2022 Share Posted February 2, 2022 Sorry to all those who received rejections from Berkeley. @BalkanItinerant, I totally get how the lead up (interview, finalist etc) makes the disappointment worse. I was among those who somehow got in, but I'm sitting here devastated I didn't get into my top choice and feeling the sting of that. The grass is always greener, I suppose... Best wishes to everyone waiting and/or making decisions right now. TagRendar 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wanted to ask if there are any South Asianists and if they have heard anything. Also, if one hasn't been interviewed, does it mean a definite rejection? Hi, I'm a South Asianist as well. Haven't heard anything besides the one rejection from UCB. flowersofindia 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoffeeCatsCorgis Posted February 2, 2022 Share Posted February 2, 2022 Congrats to the new Chicago acceptance, that's awesome!! That makes three reported so far, it looks like.

TheGradCocaCola Posted February 2, 2022 Share Posted February 2, 2022 (edited) "First application round for me... how do you deal with the rejection/how many seasons have you experienced? It's way harder than I thought it would be." Last year was my first season. I applied to 7 universities and was rejected by all of them. This time I tried 4 schools and I already received a no from two. Obviously being rejected isn't the best feeling there is, but I like to think that if I can't get a PhD, the world is very big and there's a lot of cool stuff to do. So I'm just going to look for other ways. I wish you good luck.

fiddleleaf31 Posted February 2, 2022 Share Posted February 2, 2022 (edited) @tyg91 last year was my first season I applied to four schools and was interviewed by one and waitlisted at one. It was hard to receive the rejections in the end. I gave myself a break for a few months and didn’t think about academia at all! Started to make a longer list of schools and POI in June and applied to way more schools this year with better results. Hang in there!
