aricyo Posted March 22, 2012 Share Posted March 22, 2012 Agree with Arcyoung: some of the students should be applying for government positions or something...I'm sorry, but what is Andrea Batista Schlesigner doing in this course?? Surely she is far too qualified or experienced to be studying this particular Masters....Oseirus, are you in the same league as them? You're not an Obama advisor, are you? haha...there are a lot of students who are quite normal...surprisingly enough, not as many international students as I'd thought though Hi5 Fawlty! The more I look at their website, the more I think it is a professional program. The program seems to be more interested in helping well connected professionals gain a historical perspective than training political/social/cultural historians.

fawltyarrestedextras Posted March 22, 2012 Share Posted March 22, 2012 Yeah true 'arcyoung'...let's stay positive though. There are a lot of 'normal' students admitted into the program. Who knows, maybe we'll both get in?! Btw, what are everyone's specific historical interests/ areas? I know you don't have to come up with a thesis topic for your SOP, but I imagine that they may be looking for a wide array of historical interests amongst their prospective students. Fuck it...excuse my expletive but I'm actually tired of caring/ worrying about this application...I get in or I don't...life goes on either way..If not, I do hope that King's accepts me..they've got a good program there.

I am just your average guy who went to a state school then did some stuff after college ... the closest I've ever come to being an adviser to this current president is when I stood next to his wax statue at Madam Tussaud's ...dammit why didn't I list that in my app?

oseirus Posted March 27, 2012 Share Posted March 27, 2012 Did anyone ever hear from the person who said they were accepted to this program on the Results Survey page? no they never revealed themselves ... but they were probably an early admit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aricyo Posted March 27, 2012 Share Posted March 27, 2012 (edited) no they never revealed themselves ... but they were probably an early admit Did anyone ever hear from the person who said they were accepted to this program on the Results Survey page? I checked the results page and saw only one person has been accepted. I'd like to believe that this is someone who requested to have his/her application reviewed before the regular process started. I'm a little confused: "they were accepted" & "they never revealed themselves"? Isn't there only one early admit so far?

oseirus Posted March 27, 2012 Share Posted March 27, 2012 I think oseirus meant "they" as in "he" or "she." I hope we find out soon. i don't have high hopes for this but I just want to know. thanks I'm trying my best to be PC these days Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oseirus Posted April 4, 2012 Share Posted April 4, 2012 I was informed today that admissions will be sending out notifications between next week and the following 2 weeks after that. Not sure if that info helps anyone or how bankable it is but just wanted to share with you guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fawltyarrestedextras Posted April 4, 2012 Share Posted April 4, 2012 Is that via email, snail mail or on the admissions portal?? Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oseirus Posted April 4, 2012 Share Posted April 4, 2012 Is that via email, snail mail or on the admissions portal?? Cheers I believe via email ... the portal should also have some updates at that point as well ... from my understanding Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aricyo Posted April 4, 2012 Share Posted April 4, 2012 I guess they just send you a link that takes you to the notification letter? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oseirus Posted April 4, 2012 Share Posted April 4, 2012 I guess they just send you a link that takes you to the notification letter? No I think the admissions office (or some of that ilk) will send you a "welcome you got in" etc, type email and I think you'll also get an automated email (regardless of admission or denial) that'll tell you to go to the portal page ... but then I could be wrong so don't take this to be gospel just going off the pieces of information I was told Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ldybears Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 I just spoke with the office and apparently decisions (or at least some of them) should be sent out Friday. This is good news for those of us with response deadlines this weekend. Unfortunately, it sounds like there will not be any funding or fellowship (FLAS) information available. Apparently, there is an "early review" option which can be requested by the applicant. I wish I had known about that in order to avoid the situation I will be in if I am accepted. It will be tough to choose between guranteed funding in another program and the columbia/lse dream course. Anyway, I hope this was helpful for all you future applicants out there!

fawltyarrestedextras Posted April 12, 2012 Share Posted April 12, 2012 I wonder if that'll be notifications of rejection or acceptance...or both...I hope that I at least make it on to the waiting list!

Did anyone out there request an earlier review, receive an offer, and then accept the offer? I guess I can speak on it now ... I did do an early request (though, as I told some people privately, I did not post that on results page) ... I contacted the other schools/jobs I had offers from and told them I would be going to the Columbia/LSE program instead ... I also notified the school as well ... I still haven't received much in the way of official notification/paperwork so I can't speak to much on that ... however I think I have shared pretty much all that I do know up to this point Kelkel 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
