I got an invitation to the preview weekend in February! Expand @Pink Meerkat, no worries! And congratulations! Do you know if they sent out invitations for every track? Or was it just OT/HB?

Pink Meerkat Posted January 22 Posted January 22 @GradCafeNPC I know the preview weekend is for all the sub fields, but I’m not sure if they send all the invites at the same time!

Expand This is so kind of you to say! I really appreciate it! May not seem like good news, but I have actually accepted that this cycle may not go the way I planned but I am fortunate that I have the options that I do and people who are willing to support me throughout my journey. I’m waiting for official results so I can go give my recommenders gifts and officially end the cycle! All the best news for you and everyone else in this sub! You are all so incredible TTries and Pink Meerkat 1 1
Pink Meerkat Posted January 24 Posted January 24 @tryme4 That's a great posture to have! And giving recommenders gifts is a great idea--so glad you mentioned that.

Expand Thanks! I'd like to think it went well. I felt like I was able to elaborate on my topic when they asked and show how I'm really passionate about what I want to study. Also, they're trying to build out their American studies cohort, so if anyone else applied for that, seems like you might have a better shot.
BobaPuppy Posted January 26 Posted January 26 Just found this thread. I applied to four PhD programs, all Religious Studies: UT Austin (Religions in History), Princeton (Islam subfield), UVA (Islamic Studies), and U Chicago Divinity School (Islamic Studies). I interviewed at Princeton 1/17, UT Austin 1/22, and I have an interview with Chicago scheduled for 1/28. If anyone has any questions about these interviews I'd be more than happy to share more! I haven't heard a peep from UVA... has anyone else? Shhr and JonesSJ 2

JonesSJ Posted January 27 Author Posted January 27 For those (like me) who have been waiting to hear something from Emory, the GDR page lists recruitment weekend as happening the weekend of February 7, which means it is likely interviews are already out. According to the website, that also means that we should be getting official application status notifications soon. shishockie 1

Expand They will likely make their final decisions after the recruitment weekend, so I'm guessing notifications won't go out any earlier than mid-February. Also, I know someone who was not invited to the recruitment weekend but still accepted into the program. They had been wait-listed and then finally accepted closer April, so you never know. Keep hope alive! shishockie 1

DavidX Posted January 28 Posted January 28 I think Yale has already had interviews as well or at least made decisions and cut some people
