Turian27 Posted February 4, 2011 Posted February 4, 2011 Congrats Yatto on getting into Harvard!!! Has anyone had any trouble with the application to Stanford's MA in East Asian Studies?
pudewen Posted February 4, 2011 Posted February 4, 2011 Oh my god I got into Harvard. OH MY GOD I GOT INTO HARVARD Did NOT expect an e-mail at 11:25 pm, but there you go!!!!!!! Me too! I definitely wasn't expecting an e-mail then either, but my addiction to checking my e-mail for results finally paid off. Congrats to you!

gradwoes Posted February 4, 2011 Posted February 4, 2011 Congrats to both of you! Since I applied through history departments, I still probably have a while to go...

c_n Posted February 5, 2011 Posted February 5, 2011 Congrats to the Harvard/U Chicago applicants! That's incredible!
IMN22 Posted February 5, 2011 Author Posted February 5, 2011 Just got an acceptance email from OSU. Did not think any MA programs would inform applicants this soon. I also received an email from IUB saying that my application looked strong after the first review.
c_n Posted February 5, 2011 Posted February 5, 2011 Just got rejected by Yale....not unexpected, but still... I feel like I'm the first Yale reject via the website for EALL. Did they hate my application that much? I knew that my SOP was a risk. Looking back on it, it was way too casual a tone for academia. It's their loss.
diegothedreadful Posted February 5, 2011 Posted February 5, 2011 (edited) I guess it's about time that I stop just reading this thread and start contributing. I've applied to PhD programs to study things Chinese. So far I have good news from Chicago (I was one of the people who posted in the results section) and a hint of good news from Berkeley. I didn't hear anything from Harvard this week, which is quite a downer (congrats to those who got in, btw), but overall I can't complain. Anyway, here I am.

And congrats on the good news! I still hope we'll hear more from Harvard. Looks like they accepted their top picks, so maybe we still have a chance? At the least there isn't a reject yet. *positivity!*
c_n Posted February 5, 2011 Posted February 5, 2011 Welcome, diegothedreadful! That's awesome news about U Chicago and Berkeley! Hopefully more good news is on the way~

At the least there isn't a reject yet. *positivity!* Meh, seems unlikely to me, but, hey, maybe they're just savoring the excellence of our applications for another week or two before letting us know? Welcome, diegothedreadful! That's awesome news about U Chicago and Berkeley! Hopefully more good news is on the way~ Thanks, c_n. Hope the good news starts coming for you too!
alex1111 Posted February 6, 2011 Posted February 6, 2011 one of my friend told me she is heading for New York for a interview? I am not very sure she is applying for EACL or history, is here anyone hear from Columbia? I have no idea they will conduct interview........very worried.....
feifei113 Posted February 7, 2011 Posted February 7, 2011 Congrats on your acceptance by UChicago! I've applied for the same department (my field is Japanese studies, though) and I haven't heard from them yet...When and how did you get the good news? Did you directly ask someone from the department or the graduate school? Thanks! I guess it's about time that I stop just reading this thread and start contributing.

Did you directly ask someone from the department or the graduate school? Thanks! Thanks, feifei113. I got an e-mail from Edward Shaughnessy (head of the department) about a week ago telling me that I got in. The e-mail included an invitation to visit Chicago in early March and said that all prospective candidates will be invited to visit at that time. Hope this helps.
kyjin Posted February 8, 2011 Posted February 8, 2011 Got my email from Harvard today- they're knocking me down to consideration for the Regional Studies MA. You know, I'm glad Yale and Harvard are still considering me, but seriously, can they tell me yes or no already? And I'd really like to hear anything from the other four schools I applied to. :/
alex1111 Posted February 8, 2011 Posted February 8, 2011 Oh, Princeton East Asia Studies is doing their interview.........some via campus visit and some via email......does that mean people didn't receive any notice( like me) is rejected ?

There's only one interview notice on the results board, so I wouldn't throw in the towel yet. No news is no news.
alex1111 Posted February 8, 2011 Posted February 8, 2011 There's only one interview notice on the results board, so I wouldn't throw in the towel yet. No news is no news. A friend is doing interview on campus in Princeton, it seems they like students with some graduate training........I am little despair here.......

fumblewhat Posted February 10, 2011 Posted February 10, 2011 I just got accepted to UCLA! It's not the top on my list, but it's my first response, so I'm pretty pumped about it! No word in the official email about funding, and since it's the University of California, I'm not really holding my breath... Still I need to know before I can make a decision. I wonder if it'd be outside of protocol to contact the department and inquire at this point. Continued good luck to everyone!
gradwoes Posted February 10, 2011 Posted February 10, 2011 Rejected from Princeton's history department. Blurgh.
fumblewhat Posted February 10, 2011 Posted February 10, 2011 And.... just got my follow up email from the department at UCLA! I'm being considered for a one year fellowship! Woohooo!
