applyingforfall2023 Posted January 26, 2023 Share Posted January 26, 2023 It seems like UChicago (4 admitted, from what I understand) and UMich have sent out at least a round of admissions. I am scheduled for interviews with Princeton and UC Berkeley next week. Does anyone have any program-specific advice? Good luck everyone! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I applied to ahma but haven’t heard I applied for classical philology and got an interview. But a friend of mine who has applied for ahma hasn't, so I would guess that they'd do interviews for different programs at different times (?)

Rekhmire Posted January 30, 2023 Share Posted January 30, 2023 Applied for NELC. Been waitlisted at Chicago, interviewed by Harvard, told that there would be a delay to UCLA decisions, and heard nothing from Johns Hopkins. Also received an interview from a UK program today.

lithourgos Posted January 31, 2023 Share Posted January 31, 2023 Just heard back from UCLA's archaeology program with an invite to a "virtual visit" which appears to be a series of zoom interviews for selected candidates. kinda weird but happy for the interview.

Siunas Posted January 31, 2023 Share Posted January 31, 2023 Just an update for my NELC folks: I had and will have interviews with Brown, ISAW and Yale this week. Heard nothing from JHU, Michigan and Oxford, and I am thinking withdrawing applications from these schools. Good luck everyone with all the interviews going on!!

canyoudigit Posted January 31, 2023 Share Posted January 31, 2023 First rejection: Cornell Got the official letter then a follow up from the director of the grad school. Was told they aren't taking students on the archaeology track for Classics this year due to lack of archaeology based funding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fall2023Classics Posted January 31, 2023 Share Posted January 31, 2023 I did not apply to Yale Classics but my friend did and she wants know whether anyone has gotten interviews or any communication? She applied to Classics with the combined History program. I see NELC department has interviewed, but is Classics doing that this year or are they delayed? Congratulations to everyone who has gotten acceptances so far though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
applyingforfall2023 Posted February 1, 2023 Share Posted February 1, 2023 For the Classics (philology) PhD programs, so far I have got admissions from UChicago and UMich, and a rejection from Cornell (no interview). I am having interviews in the coming days with Princeton, Harvard, and UC Berkeley, but haven't heard anything from Yale yet. Good luck everyone!

Yale Classics (and combined programs where you've applied through the Classics dept.) hasn't had interviews yet and, as far as I know, has not reached out to anyone about interviews yet. Best of luck to everyone applying this year! Don't stress if you haven't heard anything from schools yet--some places are running behind this year or have changed their process for interviewing/admissions (in person vs. on Zoom interviews, for example).

Arminius Posted February 4, 2023 Share Posted February 4, 2023 For those who applied to the Yale history/classics combined degree, I have insider knowledge that they admitted only one applicant this year, so if you are not that applicant, then I am sorry to say it didn't work out for you (I too am sadly not that one applicant).

I have a friend who interviewed for the combined classics/ history degree in early January but hasn’t heard back yet. Hoping that having the interview is a good sign. But around now is the time when he is supposed to hear back. Good luck to everyone! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PugLife95 Posted February 4, 2023 Share Posted February 4, 2023 I have only had activity from 3 of the schools to which I applied: accepted to UNC Chapel Hill's PhD (archaeology track), accepted to CU Boulder's MA (but waitlisted for funding), and interviewed by Princeton's Dept. of Art & Archaeology. I applied to a bunch of programs...this leaves me with 12 that I haven't heard anything from! So for those of you still waiting, as hard as it is, I would try not to read too much into it. I seems like most schools are pretty behind across the board this cycle. I've enjoyed reading everyone's exciting updates, and best of luck to all!

They have already contacted that applicant. I am sure that this is the only H/C applicant who will be admitted this year through the history department. However, both history and classics can admit people into the combined program. Perhaps the classics department will admit more H/C applicants this year—I am not sure, though if I had to guess I would say not. I do know classics department is behind the history department this year, so who really knows? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
