historyhopeful Posted February 8, 2011 Share Posted February 8, 2011 Congrats to Nasteel on your acceptance! Has anyone else heard (either way) from Yale? Seems odd that we've gone over 24 hours without any new updates and just one acceptance, based on last year's results. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

historyhopeful Posted February 8, 2011 Author Share Posted February 8, 2011 Good to know. Am I the only one refreshing my email incessantly since the acceptance came out? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RDX Posted February 8, 2011 Share Posted February 8, 2011 Good to know. Am I the only one refreshing my email incessantly since the acceptance came out? You are not.. I'm not preparing myself to face a double rej from both Yale and Harvard... long shot anyway but I'd rather have them come separately.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems odd that we've gone over 24 hours without any new updates and just one acceptance, based on last year's results. I've heard that Yale's application deadline was later this year than last year, so it's possible that it's taking them a bit longer than last year to start sending out decisions. Fingers crossed!!

natsteel Posted February 9, 2011 Share Posted February 9, 2011 Just a heads up, I got the official email today from the DGS with info on the campus visit, so you should all be hearing anytime now. Safferz 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patch033 Posted February 10, 2011 Share Posted February 10, 2011 is it safe to say that if we haven't heard anything yet, we have been rejected? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeppe Posted February 10, 2011 Share Posted February 10, 2011 is it safe to say that if we haven't heard anything yet, we have been rejected? My best guess is that if you haven't heard back yet, you are either going to be rejected, waitlisted, or offered a spot in the MA program (depending on your area). I'm a little bummed by not getting in, but that's life Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
natsteel Posted February 10, 2011 Share Posted February 10, 2011 I don't think that's the case, just yet. I just today got an email telling me to login to the application to view my decision. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EricaMarie Posted February 11, 2011 Share Posted February 11, 2011 I don't think that's the case, just yet. I just today got an email telling me to login to the application to view my decision. Where in the application does it give you your decision? I checked a bit ago (before I came onto the forum) and mine still said "submitted" under application status. Is that where the decision will be? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
natsteel Posted February 11, 2011 Share Posted February 11, 2011 I got an email telling me a decision had been reached and to check the online application. On the main page below where it shows your recommenders and app status, there was a link that said: "DECISION STATUS: Available beginning xx/xx/xxxx" with a link beneath it that said "Your application decision is now available online." It seems strange to have been notified officially on Tuesday and yet other acceptances are not showing up yet. I've got my fingers crossed for you Erica!

I'll try to keep fingers crossed for both of us. I wish I could feel more optimistic, but oh well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

natsteel Posted February 12, 2011 Share Posted February 12, 2011 I am yet to hear anything from Harvard or Columbia... I'm pretty much assuming that means eventual rejections. Congrats on the Columbia acceptance, kungfuzi!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Congrats on the Columbia acceptance, kungfuzi!!! Thanks, and same to you for Yale. What's your field? I'm in International and Global History. I suspect that different fields may get back to candidates at different times... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suspect that different fields may get back to candidates at different times... I'm in early America (long 18th century, aka 1680s-1812). My subfield is political culture and geographically I focus on the middle colonies, primarily New York. FWIW, I think you are right about decision announcements being field-specific. If you have any questions about NYC, I'd be happy to help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

datroy Posted February 14, 2011 Share Posted February 14, 2011 Looks like rejections are going up on the website today. Just got an email directing me to mine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barricades Posted February 14, 2011 Share Posted February 14, 2011 Looks like rejections are going up on the website today. Just got an email directing me to mine. Seems like it. I got waitlisted. I assume they've decided their admits and are now informing everyone else of their status. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
