meanwhilelife81a Posted February 9 Posted February 9 I don’t get why these institutions take their sweet time in sending out rejections like… at least let us move on from the misery of waiting?
1003128 Posted February 9 Posted February 9 (edited) Hello Legends, Here is my current status, for those who might find the information useful. Princeton: Rejection, no email Hopkins: No News Stanford: Waitlisted for PhD with six years of guaranteed full-funding, if accepted Georgetown: Not given PhD admission, but guaranteed admission to MA in Global, International, and Comparative History (MAGIC). Trying to get FLAS funding as an advanced Arabic language learner. That's all the schools I applied to. LETS GOOOOOO! VERY EXCITED! Edit: No MA, I only have a BA. I am a Fulbright researcher in Morocco. Field: (North) Africa Edited February 9 by 1003128 belladonna, andre_history, meanwhilelife81a and 2 others 5

site_n_blindness272 Posted February 9 Posted February 9 Hi all! I'm still so jittery and shaky and can't believe it's real - but I just got notification from my POI that I've been admitted to Harvard's History of Science PhD program!! I study premodern disability so it was applicable to the program but my BA and MA are just History degrees so I was absolutely convinced I didn't have enough experience or knowledge of History of Science to even be considered. What a day!! badbull727, confusedmedievalist, AB2024 and 5 others 8
BuninBuddy1924 Posted February 10 Posted February 10 Well, crap. Anyone have any idea how to get a grant to use the Hoover Archives at Stanford with a grant instead of just being there as a Stanford/Berkley student? (In before apply to Palo Alto In & Out Burger and commute there.)
greensleeveless Posted February 10 Posted February 10 (edited) Apologies if this question is inappropriate, but is anyone who was accepted to Northwestern likely choosing another university to attend? I'm on the "short wait list" and would really appreciate it if those accepted but not interested in attending Northwestern let the DGS know that they won't be attending. Thanks in advance! Edited February 10 by greensleeveless
greensleeveless Posted February 10 Posted February 10 At least, does anyone know when Northwestern's recruitment day is? I suppose accepted students will be deciding around that time...
meanwhilelife81a Posted February 11 Posted February 11 Has anyone heard back from Vanderbilt or had an interview?

So I would wait it out for a few more days and then assume a rejection. I know this is old but I wanted to reply to this by saying that Yale admitted me without interviewing, so this may not be true anymore! site_n_blindness272 1
confusedmedievalist Posted February 13 Posted February 13 (edited) On the topic of Yale, I'd love to find the common thread between those of us who didn't get accepted OR rejected last week. I know it's not subfield, since I've seen 3 different ones among those with nothing. Did others in this situation have interviews? Did anyone already rejected have an interview? Is it letter of the alphabet sort of thing? (I'm in the first half, what about others still waiting?) Do we all have brown hair? I know this is a futile quest and nothing is going to change the decision or when I'll get it, but this mystery is driving me nuts! Edited February 13 by confusedmedievalist more details

I think the whole "releasing staggered decisions" is kinda vicious and evil lmao, especially if they are saving rejections for last, after everyone else found out/not notifying waitlisted people. Like... I have not seen any NYU rejections, yet I found out about my status before the end of January. Idk, it's f* up. Anyways, rant over, I wish you can find some clarity on your status really soon!!! goood luck!
meanwhilelife81a Posted February 13 Posted February 13 I just wanna know why Vanderbilt and IU-Bloomington are taking their precious time haha… confusedmedievalist 1

Still waiting on NYU—they are quite literally the only graduate program I haven’t heard from yet
obk90 Posted February 13 Posted February 13 Irrelevant to me as I received a rejection, but it's really weird that Wisconsin hasn't sent out acceptances yet.
beee Posted February 13 Posted February 13 has anyone heard from UCLA yet? I remember an informal rejection on the results page a while back but has anyone heard anything else? and has anyone heard from the university of michigan?

I was accepted unofficially to UCLA History on 2/5 and officially on 2/9. It's never over until it's over, but since the RSVP deadline for the visit day was yesterday, I'm assuming most accepted candidates have heard. It could be a waitlist, though! Keep the faith and good luck! Edited February 13 by confusedmedievalist date corrected JMAurelius 1

Lol I also received a rejection and got a semi-informal email last Friday 8 pm. Idk if that’s because I’m an internal applicant (current student) but whatever. 🤷🏻♀️

I heard from UMich History/WGS Joint PhD yesterday. Unsure if they only released decisions for the joint program though. Good luck!!

The joint programs are definitely on their own timelines because I was accepted to the UMich history/Classics joint program back on 2/2.
meanwhilelife81a Posted February 13 Posted February 13 Idk if this is allowed to ask but I’m genuinely curious, so I want to sincerely ask: what are everybody’s subfields and PhD projects? 🤓😄 ndoco2024 1

I don't think they've released decisions on any other subfields as hasn't been the wave of acceptances as there has been for every other place...but could be wrong.

I am in the ancient history subfield but the visit day is for everyone which is why I'm not sure. I see a lot of rejections went out this morning, but don't know about acceptances in other fields. Sorry y'all. If it makes anyone feel better, I got rejected there a couple years ago too. (I got rejected a lot of places my first 2 cycles, lol). Persistence is key, I guess. ndoco2024 1
site_n_blindness272 Posted February 14 Posted February 14 I currently have all my decisions in except for one! Has anyone heard from Rutgers? lol AB2024 1
