delirious Posted January 25, 2023 Share Posted January 25, 2023 1 hour ago, ATAH said: I am a student at Harvard. Two updates from two profs: Prof A told me that decisions are NOT yet made. Prof B told me that some meetings on admissions were held earlier this week. But the department have NOT yet communicated decisions. Sum up -- the post is very likely to be a troll (unless some prof are really really eager to share info with their prospective students). There's a second harvard unofficial acceptance on the results board...are you sure about this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

histosci123 Posted January 25, 2023 Share Posted January 25, 2023 Does anyone have info on when Harvard will meet and finalize decisions for the History of Science program? There is already an acceptance up on the board. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No idea when Purdue or IU meet... anyone have any idea on that? Is is bad to reach out if I have grad student contacts at the schools to see if they know, or to ask profs? Is it better to wait? I hate waiting. ? GOOD LUCK TO ALL for good news today!!!! Della 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greenlandsharki Posted January 26, 2023 Share Posted January 26, 2023 A friend of mine studying science recently received a decision from the UMD for a master's degree. How long does it usually take for MA decisions to come out? I literally can not be on my laptop without constantly refreshing all my application portals waiting to see if anything changes. It is so stressful and unhealthy given the fact I should be working on my honors thesis lmao. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know with my friend who applied for a PhD at NYU that she received an extremely personalized email from her POI when moving on to the interview process. Emails like those take longer to send out in comparison to automated decisions. Keep your hopes up. kimedieval 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got an e-mail from a POI a few weeks ago, stating that he had nominated me for acceptance to their PhD program. Apparently this should put me on a list of around 25 people, from which they can send out 15 offers. Usually they have an acceptance rate of around 50%. Does that mean I should be admitted as some point? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Files come in, profs look over those in their specialties, and then send them on to the overall committee, who makes the final selections. A professor can sometimes know if a file they've forwarded is going to make it through or not, e.g. if the three Americanists in the dept. all decide that Jane Smith is their number one pick for that year. That's likely what these acceptances are. kimedieval, nightiey, historyneaonnim and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It also wasn't in my subfield (they would be American/Latin American, and I'm obviously a medievalist), so I'm hoping that's the reason/the kicker.

queenphilippaofhainault Posted January 26, 2023 Share Posted January 26, 2023 Just wondering if I haven’t received a Yale interview request by now should I take that as a sign I haven’t got in? Would just like some closure so I can escape the voices in my head and actually concentrate on getting on with my current MPhil work lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm suspecting those posts were fake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phil12843 Posted January 26, 2023 Share Posted January 26, 2023 (edited) @kimedieval Regarding History at Notre Dame: Interviews are starting this week. I can't confirm that all the interview requests have gone out, but I would assume they have. In previous years, they all went out at about the same time as far as I am aware.
