Siunas Posted March 2, 2023 Share Posted March 2, 2023 Asking for a friend: anyone knows anything about MA in Iranian Studies? Cuz so many schools are not accepting terminal MAs in the NELC Dept, she is wondering which schools have past history of accepting Iranian Studies MA students.

dwisn31 Posted March 10, 2023 Share Posted March 10, 2023 Has anyone heard anything from the University of Toronto? They’re the only school I haven’t heard anything from yet. JMAurelius 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They’re the only school I haven’t heard anything from yet. I know they sent out some acceptances in mid January and had a couple prospectives up for a visit earlier this week. I imagine if they've had a visit(s) that they have probably sent our waitlists already as well, but no guarantee. Hope this helps! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

canyoudigit Posted March 13, 2023 Share Posted March 13, 2023 Ended up emailing UPenn about the AAMW program and Michigan about the IPCAA program. Will provide an update when I hear back from them. clss2023 and JMAurelius 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clss2023 Posted March 13, 2023 Share Posted March 13, 2023 @Stephanie Sherrettyeah those are the last two programs I want to hear back from- otherwise I'm just gonna accept other offers! I feel bad making other programs wait! canyoudigit and JMAurelius 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sisinnes Posted March 15, 2023 Share Posted March 15, 2023 Hi there, just got an MA offer from Cincinnati, ancient history track. I'm not in the US for undergrad, so I don't know much about UC. Does anyone know how their classical department is? My interest is in the imperial Rome and hope to participate in some digs in my master.

canyoudigit Posted March 15, 2023 Share Posted March 15, 2023 @clss2023Heard back from Michigan. They only let me know my application status because I emailed them. Nothing was posted on ApplyWeb or their own student portal. On top of everything, they addressed the letter using my middle name which is on absolutely none of my correspondence with them except my initial application. Needless to say but I'm quite disillusioned with them at this point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clss2023 Posted March 16, 2023 Share Posted March 16, 2023 @Stephanie SherrettYeah the faculty member I was talking to sent the update- not good news unfortunately lol. Sounds like they had a huge number of applicants though so I'm not overly surprised. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

canyoudigit Posted March 24, 2023 Share Posted March 24, 2023 @clss2023 Emailed them twice before they finally gave me info. It seems like they aren't letting people know unless you ask them about results. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

canyoudigit Posted April 27, 2023 Share Posted April 27, 2023 I ended up applying for the Post Bacc at UPenn. Happy to say that I got in!! I'm the alternate for the fellowships so here's hoping one of the two people that got it was able to secure a place somewhere else!
