holler Posted January 26, 2011 Posted January 26, 2011 I just got an offer of admission from UNC-Chapel Hill. I'm doing European History, specifically British. It stated that they are nominating nine students for fellowships. I'm not sure if more than that are being admitted with a different package. Anyone else hear back?

You should give us more details!
barricades Posted January 27, 2011 Posted January 27, 2011 Congrats! I applied to UNC also, modern European history too, but with a focus on France. It was my earliest deadline, so hopefully I'll hear from them soon. Did you hear back by email, site update, letter or call?
sankd Posted January 27, 2011 Posted January 27, 2011 (edited) Ouch, the pessimist in me says this is bad news for the rest of us. Haha. Oh well. Congrats! Edited January 27, 2011 by sankd
holler Posted January 27, 2011 Author Posted January 27, 2011 Hey all! Thanks for the congratulations. I got an email yesterday with an offer of admission. I had actually gotten an email about a week ago from an advisor asking if I had any questions, so I had my fingers crossed for a quick response. It sounds like they've admitted nine people so far. I think they were aiming for a class of about fifteen, so hopefully that was just the first bunch. Good luck to everybody!

MegMill Posted January 27, 2011 Posted January 27, 2011 they've already admitted 9? oh my god. i'm finished. damn that just hit hard.
qbtacoma Posted January 27, 2011 Posted January 27, 2011 they've already admitted 9? oh my god. i'm finished. damn that just hit hard. Don't feel bad! They're going to admit more than 15 in the end because of course some people will accept elsewhere. Also, you could be just the last one they get to! Plus, you really do have a lot of options with all the schools to which you have applied. Don't worry! TMP and StrangeLight 1 1
history_PhD Posted February 17, 2011 Posted February 17, 2011 Someone else has heard from here, I see. Anyone want to speak up?
Phishyman22 Posted February 17, 2011 Posted February 17, 2011 Someone else has heard from here, I see. Anyone want to speak up? That's me. I heard from them around the 25th of January, the formal offer came a few days later. Funding offer came in about a week ago. From what my PAs told me, they admitted people early to send them up for university fellowships. I suppose that means that final decision have yet to be made.
roarie Posted February 17, 2011 Posted February 17, 2011 I got an unofficial offer from them very recently. They also told me that funding decision comes out in six weeks. It sounds like they're still working out funding, so there's still six weeks of hope!
cyz Posted February 17, 2011 Posted February 17, 2011 (edited) Who knows more information about UNC-CH? Edited February 17, 2011 by cyz Vera Krylova 1
Vera Krylova Posted February 25, 2011 Posted February 25, 2011 Who knows more information about UNC-CH? Hey I just got accepted yesterday February 24th to UNC's Ph.D. program in military history. They said that they are admitting an entering class of 18-20.
sankd Posted February 25, 2011 Posted February 25, 2011 Hey I just got accepted yesterday February 24th to UNC's Ph.D. program in military history. They said that they are admitting an entering class of 18-20. Wow, I had pretty much given up hope. Still not hopeful, but still..
datroy Posted February 25, 2011 Posted February 25, 2011 Hey I just got accepted yesterday February 24th to UNC's Ph.D. program in military history. They said that they are admitting an entering class of 18-20. Congrats Vera. Was it a personal email from one of the faculty or a form email to check the website or.....? The website doesn't seem to be working for me right now. What is your field within military history? I'll be doing the same thing and am waiting to hear from UNC so I can choose between there or Ohio State (who I already heard from)

The website doesn't seem to be working for me right now. What is your field within military history? I'll be doing the same thing and am waiting to hear from UNC so I can choose between there or Ohio State (who I already heard from) It was an email sent out by the Director of Graduate Studies and copied to my advisor. There was no link to check the website. They included a preliminary financial offer in the letter but said that they were working on additional funding for me that will be available soonish? At UNC, I will be doing comparative work between women in the Chinese military (1932-1949) and women in the US military (1942-1945). The subject is a bit hazy right now since I did my undergraduate work on American women in the US Military but they really want me to use my Chinese language skill so I tacked on the Chinese military to be safe.
PhD or Bust Posted February 25, 2011 Posted February 25, 2011 I still haven't heard anything either way from them...I hope they hurry up...
choirgirl05 Posted February 25, 2011 Posted February 25, 2011 Just got an offer today. Can't believe it! It was also an email from DGS copied to my PA.
MegMill Posted March 7, 2011 Posted March 7, 2011 Honestly, y'all, what is the deal? For those that haven't heard back, are you just treating UNC's silence as an imminent rejection, like me? Seriously, WHAT IN THE WORLD?!
Bactrian Posted March 7, 2011 Posted March 7, 2011 I'm assuming rejection at this point though there may be a few wait-listers tossed in.
meo03 Posted March 7, 2011 Posted March 7, 2011 I'm assuming rejection at this point though there may be a few wait-listers tossed in. right. I feel fairly certain that my rejection is on its way as well.
PhD or Bust Posted March 8, 2011 Posted March 8, 2011 I thought someone said on here (or maybe it was elsewhere) that the final decisions wouldn't be out until the end of March?
