why only harvard and bu?

there are better american studies programs than harvard, are you constrained to the boston area?

I saw your SOP (I think) on LiveJournal and I thought it was outstanding and very clear. I think you can expand your search a little more to Yale (really the tops for US history, fine arts, etc) and some NYC schools. They're within commuting distance if you're constrained to Boston area because of your SO or family obligations.

Which profs at Harvard interest you (out of curiosity)?

Inside sources tell me all decisions have been made. Nobody's heard? Really?

Living in Boston, I can tell you that neither Yale nor NYC is in commuting distance.... New York City is a four to five hour drive depending on traffic. That would be absolutely awful even if you just came home every weekend, and an especially large expense. Ditto Connecticut.

I really do hate it when people do this.
