Kelkel Posted February 8, 2012 Posted February 8, 2012 I was just googled! But the search words had nothing to do with me. Just a person in my paper and my college. Sigh.
sequi001 Posted February 8, 2012 Posted February 8, 2012 I'm also one of those who got admitted to the University of Chicago today. I received two personalized emails from my POI and from the chair, as I contacted both of them during the application process. They both mentioned that I got a five-year fellowship and that History Day is on the weekend of March 4th-6th. They offer to cover some part of the traveling expenses, but considering that I live abroad, it will probably cover less than half of my plane tickets, so I don't think I will go. Good luck to all of you who are still waiting! I'd also like to mention that I applied to 8 programs last year and got straight rejections from all of them. This year, I got two acceptances so far, and haven't heard any bad news yet. Anyway, I just want to say that everything is possible, even if it takes more time and efforts than what you were first planning on.
Shayaan Posted February 8, 2012 Posted February 8, 2012 Congratulations sequi001 and calamari19! That is fantastic news!
pugsley87 Posted February 8, 2012 Posted February 8, 2012 Congrats, Chicago admits! Would you be willing to share your subfields? Do you guys think Chicago is done? Sure seems like it...
Safferz Posted February 8, 2012 Posted February 8, 2012 Ahh congrats to everyone who got in today! I wonder what Thursday will bring?

zb642 Posted February 8, 2012 Posted February 8, 2012 I GOT INTO YALE!!! I got an email from the director of graduate studies. Funding information to follow. I literally am crying for joy. This is unbelievable.
crazedandinfused Posted February 8, 2012 Posted February 8, 2012 SCRATCH THAT, I JUST GOT INTO YALE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! LAWD HAMMERCY! Wow!!!!!!!!!! Congrats!!!! Now, do I go check my status? here goes.
lureynol Posted February 8, 2012 Posted February 8, 2012 Congratulations guys! Very well done and deserved!
Kelkel Posted February 8, 2012 Posted February 8, 2012 I hope crater21 gets the good news too (he did interview right?!). Very exciting day for many people.
A Finicky Bean Posted February 8, 2012 Posted February 8, 2012 I got my Illinois rejection- I would not have gone there over UW-M, but I dont have confirmaiton of funding at UW either... so now I have one as-of-yet unfunded admit, one official rejection, one informal 2nd hand-hand rejection (My MA advisor's contact at UNC said I'm a no-go b/c there is no suitable advisor) and one passive rejection (No interview at Yale)... On the whole, I'm not feelin' so great about things at the moment... ...nows a good time to check out for a bit- I'm takin' a nap! Hey I just took a nap too. *hugs*
A Finicky Bean Posted February 8, 2012 Posted February 8, 2012 SCRATCH THAT, I JUST GOT INTO YALE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! LAWD HAMMERCY! Congratulations!!
dukelover50 Posted February 8, 2012 Posted February 8, 2012 Congrats to everyone getting good news!!!
CageFree Posted February 8, 2012 Posted February 8, 2012 SCRATCH THAT, I JUST GOT INTO YALE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! LAWD HAMMERCY! CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
calamari19 Posted February 8, 2012 Posted February 8, 2012 Congrats to the Yale acceptances!! I went there for undergrad (and majored in history - shocker!) so I'm happy to answer any questions about New Haven, campus life, etc. Obviously don't know a ton about the grad program though.
sequi001 Posted February 8, 2012 Posted February 8, 2012 Congrats, Chicago admits! Would you be willing to share your subfields? Do you guys think Chicago is done? Sure seems like it... Thank you! That was honestly so unexpected. I am planning on specializing in modern European history. I have no idea if they are done sending their acceptances yet, but I hope not and wish you the best.
pugsley87 Posted February 8, 2012 Posted February 8, 2012 CONGRATS TO ALL OF OUR YALE ACCEPTEES! You guys rock . I hope the rest of us who haven't heard good news hear something from the schools already sending stuff out...
Agora Posted February 8, 2012 Posted February 8, 2012 I haven't posted much, but I also got into Yale! Amazing. I had an interview a couple of weeks ago. My POI called me out of the blue in the evening and said, "Is this a good time to talk?" Umm, yes, I suppose it is.
Safferz Posted February 8, 2012 Posted February 8, 2012 Thanks everyone!! I still haven't gotten past the first line in the email, but I think I've settled down enough to read through it now
Gene Parmesan Posted February 8, 2012 Posted February 8, 2012 Big Congrats to the Yale acceptances! Its not over yet, people!
