wannabee Posted March 7, 2011 Posted March 7, 2011 (edited) An acceptance email from the Department at GT. On the waitlist for a tuition scholarship. I applied for FLAS but there is no mention of FLAS in my email. Perhaps I was already rejected? Everyone seems to be getting slightly different letters. Also waiting to hear on the GT PhD in Comparative Politics (a joint program), which I assume is a "no". Edited March 7, 2011 by wannabee
wannabee Posted March 7, 2011 Posted March 7, 2011 got into Georgetown MAAS fully funded! I'm so happy it hurts! Hearty congrats!
katemiddleton Posted March 8, 2011 Posted March 8, 2011 (edited) I think that those who did not receive funding information on their emails should maybe contact Kelli Harris at CCAS; she's the best person to answer those questions. And she's very nice! Edited March 8, 2011 by katemiddleton
urzeichen Posted March 8, 2011 Posted March 8, 2011 (edited) Thanks for all the feedback on NYU! and yes I am interested in Modern Middle Eastern History. My scholarship is not an FLAS. I agree with Samarkand...(and indeed "prestige" was a misplaced term)...I have a very definite research interest right now that I believe I have developed over time, and I really wanted to go straight into researching and writing on it, but I guess I will have to use my Master's time towards developing it further (perhaps improving my reading Arabic and elementary French as well)... the reason I mentioned Columbia is because it seems a very good fit for my concentration. Which programs have strength in the Levant and Egypt? Edited March 8, 2011 by ans.diffident

samarkand Posted March 8, 2011 Posted March 8, 2011 (edited) Samarkand, if it is what it is, HUGE congratulations! Although if that it is what it is, I am not in since I didn't get a magic e-mail! What's your top choice? Many many thanks! Yes, it turned out to be an acceptance, because I got the package later in the day. I was also accepted into Yale, so now must decide between the two. Originally Yale was my top choice, but after getting this acceptance, I don't know! Congratulations also on all your acceptances, it seem like it's going to be a hard decision for you as well!

katemiddleton Posted March 8, 2011 Posted March 8, 2011 Hey forum, I need some advice, and I'm very upset: so it looks like NYU lost my transcripts (!!!) even though when I called in January they told me that my application was complete. I just found out about it this morning, and I emailed them my transcripts as soon as the department secretary emailed me. Does this mean I'm an auto-reject? I'd love some thoughts! Thank you Alex

Thank you Alex Alex, No. NYU accepts electronic transcripts, and only needs official ones after you have been accepted.
wannabee Posted March 8, 2011 Posted March 8, 2011 (edited) Ms. Harris confirmed that no decisions have been made on FLAS for CCAS--no one has been rejected yet even if it isn't mentioned in your GT admissions email. Edited March 8, 2011 by wannabee
Bunter Posted March 9, 2011 Posted March 9, 2011 So the last two on my list: Columbia MESAAS-PhD UPenn NELC-PhD Anyone have esoteric knowledge about acceptances & rejections? Bunter and Bukharan 1 1
Ross Thames Posted March 9, 2011 Posted March 9, 2011 So the last two on my list: Columbia MESAAS-PhD UPenn NELC-PhD Anyone have esoteric knowledge about acceptances & rejections? yeah I'm waiting on Columbia as well. I think people were saying different things as to when they were supposed to give word. Late March?
Alyanumbers Posted March 9, 2011 Posted March 9, 2011 Does anyone know if Columbia's MESAAS decisions take longer if you've also applied to ICLS? Because the wait is already driving me crazy.
Bukharan Posted March 10, 2011 Posted March 10, 2011 Does anyone know if Columbia's MESAAS decisions take longer if you've also applied to ICLS? Because the wait is already driving me crazy. Got my Columbia decision a couple of minutes ago. I am not being particularly popular with the East Coast.
Selim III Posted March 11, 2011 Posted March 11, 2011 Bukharan, did you apply to MESAAS or History at Columbia?
The Green Bean Posted March 11, 2011 Posted March 11, 2011 Has anybody heard from Chicago's MA in ME studies yet? There were a couple of acceptances in late Feb, but they had applied through the social sciences department.
katemiddleton Posted March 11, 2011 Posted March 11, 2011 No! And I was assured, when I called, that we would hear this week!
The Green Bean Posted March 11, 2011 Posted March 11, 2011 No! And I was assured, when I called, that we would hear this week! I hope it's via email. I'm travelling next week and I won't be back home for a month.
wannabee Posted March 11, 2011 Posted March 11, 2011 Still waiting on Columbia MESAAS (PhD).... I see four rejections on the board, but no acceptances or waitlists. (In fact, there are no acceptances or waitlists for any year for the PhD in MESAAS). Is anyone else still waiting on this? Dr. Rashid Khalid is speaking this Sunday at AUC on events after Tunis and Tahrir. I will have to restrain myself from getting up and demanding to know what has happened to my application. Definitely not a good idea....
Bunter Posted March 11, 2011 Posted March 11, 2011 I still haven't heard back anything, My focus is on law and ethics, so Hallaq and Messick and others are more relevant to me. Still waiting on Columbia MESAAS (PhD).... I see four rejections on the board, but no acceptances or waitlists. (In fact, there are no acceptances or waitlists for any year for the PhD in MESAAS).

Bukharan Posted March 11, 2011 Posted March 11, 2011 Bukharan, did you apply to MESAAS or History at Columbia? It was MESAAS. I think the fact that you were not rejected with the first group is a good sign. All the best to those of you (alyanumbers, Selim III, wannabee, Bunter, others) who are still waiting!
MDarwish Posted March 11, 2011 Posted March 11, 2011 The Green Bean and Kate, Also pretty surprised that humanities haven't heard back from UChicago. Has anyone called recently?

Definitely not a good idea.... wannaabee, I see you are "out" at UPenn. Is this for NELC, polit sci, or history?
wannabee Posted March 11, 2011 Posted March 11, 2011 (edited) wannaabee, I see you are "out" at UPenn. Is this for NELC, polit sci, or history? Political science... Most of my applications were in political science (comparative) with some in Middle Eastern/Near Eastern studies programs. Edited March 11, 2011 by wannabee
The Green Bean Posted March 11, 2011 Posted March 11, 2011 (edited) I just received an acceptance from UChicago as well. Wow. This feels awesome It's an informal email which mentions nothing about funding. Judging from the "to" list it seems like they have accepted about 35 candidates.
