historyhopeful Posted March 1, 2011 Share Posted March 1, 2011 I think I'm finally settled- accepted to UPenn this morning. What a strange, long month this has been. Best of luck to you all (and if anyone is waitlisted at Austin, Rutgers or OSU, this may be your lucky day!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted March 1, 2011 Share Posted March 1, 2011 Was it a personal email from a POI or an automated email? If automated/mass email, that doesn't seem to bode well for me. Guess I'll be getting the ole rejection letter later this week. It was a personal email from the Graduate Studies Chair. I thought I might get my reply late because mine was an internal application (people who are already admitted to the graduate school for a different program don't have to fill out the online application - I'm an MA student in East Asian Studies right now). Not sure how that reflects on other peoples receiving acceptances, but good luck! --- Applied: Harvard (Hist and East Asian Lang), Berkeley (Hist), Ohio State (Hist), UMichigan (Hist), Hawaii (Hist), Pittsburgh (Hist) Accepted: Harvard, Berkeley, UMichigan, Ohio State Rejected: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
radagast Posted March 1, 2011 Share Posted March 1, 2011 University of Michigan just waitlisted me today so they are letting out those responses right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rustin Posted March 1, 2011 Share Posted March 1, 2011 (edited) Accepted at Penn today via an e-mail from the director of graduate studies. Formal letter and package to be forthcoming. Waitlisted at Michigan today, but I am almost certain I'll be e-mailing them tomorrow to decline my spot on the waitlist.

barricades Posted March 1, 2011 Share Posted March 1, 2011 Rejected at Michigan and, apparently, at Columbia. That means it's just about decision time! Ugh/yay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
borderlands Posted March 1, 2011 Share Posted March 1, 2011 I also just got the news from U of Michigan and I'm on the waitlist. I'm just waiting for the American Studies at Yale, which looks like a rejection. Then, decision time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sankd Posted March 1, 2011 Share Posted March 1, 2011 Bummed I didn't get waitlist at Michigan, but it was easily the best place I applied to and they actually sent me a letter from the department and not from Rackham. Oh well! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Henry Hudson Posted March 2, 2011 Share Posted March 2, 2011 yet another Michigan rejection: "After a careful review of your application, we regret to inform you that we cannot extend an offer of admission this year to the PhD program in the Department of History at the University of Michigan. We received over 365 applications for a very limited number of positions, and the final admissions list includes approximately 10 percent of the total applicant pool. The History Department's commitment to providing a multiyear funding package to all admitted students means that many excellent applicants do not receive offers of admission."

ndk Posted March 2, 2011 Share Posted March 2, 2011 Add my UM rejection to the pile. I'm down to two doctoral programs and one masters program. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 2, 2011 Share Posted March 2, 2011 Just got an email that I'm offered the JISF/Mitsubushi award by the Asian Studies Center at Pitt, meaning they inadvertently beat the History department to notifying me of my acceptance. Hope everyone else who applied hears soon! Looks like decisions should be rolling out this week. --- Applied: Harvard (Hist and East Asian Lang), Berkeley (Hist), Ohio State (Hist), UMichigan (Hist), Hawaii (Hist), Pittsburgh (Hist) Accepted: Harvard, Berkeley, UMichigan, Ohio State, Pittsburgh Rejected: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For what its worth, that is a fair way to handle things and a relatively gentle way of letting you down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
qbtacoma Posted March 2, 2011 Share Posted March 2, 2011 Yep, another Michigan rejection here. However, I am so stoked about UBC that I don't even care. Did 365 seem a little low to anyone? I was expecting an applicant pool there of about 450 - not sure why. Maybe it was on an faq somewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TMP Posted March 2, 2011 Share Posted March 2, 2011 For what it's worth, people, I still have FIVE more decisions to go! And yes, it's just the beginning of March and April 15th is 6 weeks away... which means I'm going to face with a flood. Or more silence because I may be on a waitlist somewhere. Someone, please hand me a barf bag as I get ready to go another emotional roller-coaster ride. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted March 2, 2011 Share Posted March 2, 2011 (edited) Formal acceptances for Pitt are rolling out. Good luck everyone! Got an email from the director of graduate studies, offered Japan Iron and Steel Federation/ Mitsubishi Graduate Fellowship and Arts and Sciences Social Science Doctoral Dissertation Fellowship. Says it should be five years of funding with the other years as TAships. Pretty competitive with other schools. Tough decisions coming soon. --- Applied: Harvard (Hist and East Asian Lang), Berkeley (Hist), Ohio State (Hist), UMichigan (Hist), Hawaii (Hist), Pittsburgh (Hist) Accepted: Harvard, Berkeley, UMichigan, Ohio State, Pittsburgh Rejected: Edited March 2, 2011 by Paura Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
