♀HealthMatters Posted February 9, 2011 Posted February 9, 2011 Had to leave the Classics forum b/c I was rejected by UF, so I guess I'll come play over here for a few weeks. Am I the only person on GC to EVER apply to USF history? There aren't any results for the history program, ever. As a Floridian looking to get the MA, then hopefully apply up for the PhD, Florida is pretty great. I applied last year (rejected everywhere). I'm waiting on UF now. Did you apply just to Classics or to History, too? I checked online and my results are not up yet.
DrOrpheus Posted February 9, 2011 Posted February 9, 2011 As a Floridian looking to get the MA, then hopefully apply up for the PhD, Florida is pretty great. I applied last year (rejected everywhere). I'm waiting on UF now. Did you apply just to Classics or to History, too? I checked online and my results are not up yet. I only applied to Classics; the History dept. didn't have an ancient track. The results for UF won't be on the status page. It's wacky, and meant more for high school applicants than graduate applicants, I think, when it comes to posting the actual decision. You'll have to call the dept. directly. I haven't seen anything from UF History on the results page, and my Classics reject is only the 2nd result for that dept. Boo, I wanted to be a Gator in my own right. Hubby and all of his family are multi-generation UF grads, so I'm still a Gator by association. That said, USF is my UG, and I don't want to jinx myself but I would hope I've cultivated good enough relationships with my profs to garner an acceptance. If not...I haven't decided yet. I don't have to get a job, but I need to do something to improve my chances for next year.
rmcclymo Posted February 9, 2011 Posted February 9, 2011 Need a laugh anyone... So, this morning, I had a friend who was freaking out because they couldn't get a hold of me. They started to think the worst (as this anxious wreck typically does) and wondered if I had heard some negative news regarding an application. Since they had heard me talk of this forum and its merits (and dis-merits), they immediately signed up just to see if they could find out anything that may have upset me and set me into a tail spin Fortunately they heard from me shortly after this cyber search for my well-being. It is nice to be loved by someone who would go to such lengths Maybe they will read this post and know how much I appreciate them... rsldonk and Bukharan 2
DrOrpheus Posted February 9, 2011 Posted February 9, 2011 A lot of places that only offer a terminal Masters are not on the results page. We (USF) actually now have a PhD program that's a couple of years old, but no direct BA admits. I think once the PhD program gets established they'll make it a combined MA/PhD.
my future is history Posted February 9, 2011 Posted February 9, 2011 Hmm, I'm guessing that no response from Harvard, by this point, is a de facto rejection... my future is history 1

I think once the PhD program gets established they'll make it a combined MA/PhD. Just as a matter of interest (possibly a show of hands) what proportion of people both on here and at large do you think have an MA before applying. Not just to USF but U-Anywhere?
barricades Posted February 9, 2011 Posted February 9, 2011 Hmm, I'm guessing that no response from Harvard, by this point, is a de facto rejection... Why do you say that?
thepoorstockinger Posted February 9, 2011 Posted February 9, 2011 Canada Post have stopped delivering my mail (turns out they stopped last week without telling anyone) because they claim that my landlord has not properly cleared snow and ice from the walkway to our building because its not bare down to the concrete. So now I need to go find a metal shovel and/or ice breaker to clear this thing myself just so I don't convince myself that a letter from a PhD program is sitting in a processing centre somewhere with my name on it. Here's hoping all responses are either phone calls or online until I can solve this. Stupid Canada Post.
my future is history Posted February 9, 2011 Posted February 9, 2011 Why do you say that? Looking at their results, the acceptances seem to come within a 3 day window or so... my future is history 1
barricades Posted February 9, 2011 Posted February 9, 2011 It's interesting, because it's a really slow week compared to previous years... A few acceptances here and there, but no large flow of rejections.
BH-history Posted February 9, 2011 Posted February 9, 2011 It's interesting, because it's a really slow week compared to previous years... A few acceptances here and there, but no large flow of rejections. Thats true, i don't understand that... come one history departments... help us here! : )
barricades Posted February 9, 2011 Posted February 9, 2011 Thats true, i don't understand that... come one history departments... help us here! : ) Just out of curiosity, are you Brazilian by chance?
MegMill Posted February 9, 2011 Posted February 9, 2011 I feel so dejected. I feel like I'm in for such a long month of so much disappointment. Granted, I'm 0-3 and I applied to many programs, but I just can't help but think that I'm in for an abyssmal spring.
BH-history Posted February 9, 2011 Posted February 9, 2011 Just out of curiosity, are you Brazilian by chance? yeah! I am from Belo Horizonte, Brazil!
Emerson Posted February 9, 2011 Posted February 9, 2011 Got a rejection from Harvard! By email or post?
RDX Posted February 9, 2011 Posted February 9, 2011 Looking at their results, the acceptances seem to come within a 3 day window or so... Exactly what I'm thinking... my chances of getting into somewhere are sinking...
a piece of bread Posted February 9, 2011 Posted February 9, 2011 By email or post? By e-mail. It was from the Joint program in History and ME studies though.

That makes US Postal Service the true heros... "Rain or shine, snow or sleet, we deliver your mail!"
meo03 Posted February 9, 2011 Posted February 9, 2011 Y'all, I see that there's been two accepts from Emory. Naturally, I am reading into this that since I was not emailed, I'm rejected. I feel so dejected. I feel like I'm in for such a long month of so much disappointment. Granted, I'm 0-3 and I applied to many programs, but I just can't help but think that I'm in for an abyssmal spring. yeah, we're in the same boat here on Emory, and based on the past couple of years they send out their rejections much later than their acceptances. I really wanted Emory, ah well. No need to be dejected yet though! Still plenty of places to hear back from.
besm Posted February 9, 2011 Posted February 9, 2011 Out of curiosity, did anyone who has heard from Northwestern apply through one of the interdisciplinary cluster initiatives?
alex1111 Posted February 9, 2011 Posted February 9, 2011 I am a little curious about Johns Hopkins......Based on last two years, they should have sent their acceptance letter now..........
Bukharan Posted February 9, 2011 Posted February 9, 2011 By e-mail. It was from the Joint program in History and ME studies though. I am sorry to hear that. Best wishes with the rest of your applications.
barricades Posted February 9, 2011 Posted February 9, 2011 yeah! I am from Belo Horizonte, Brazil! NFW. Me too. haha. Are you in BH now?
BH-history Posted February 9, 2011 Posted February 9, 2011 NFW. Me too. haha. Are you in BH now? Yes!!! Thats nice! Are you brazilian too?
