goldielocks Posted January 26, 2012 Author Posted January 26, 2012 I just got my first "unofficial" acceptance (from my POI) today, WITH funding, at UC Davis! I can't believe it! Big congratulations to you, teachgrad! That's wonderful. And Safferz, glad to hear your interview went well. Best wishes for an acceptance!
holdon Posted January 26, 2012 Posted January 26, 2012 Safferz thanks for the in depth description! Good luck!
taybaxter Posted January 26, 2012 Posted January 26, 2012 Congrats to whoever got into Duke! I'm waiting to hear from them too...
crazedandinfused Posted January 26, 2012 Posted January 26, 2012 Well, I just got an email telling me that I'm being nominated for a fellowship at one of my mid-tier programs! It's not an offer of admission, but I'm very happy. This will get me through the next week at least. It doesn't hurt that the fellowship is named after one of my favorite historical figures either!! goldielocks and Safferz 2
Kelkel Posted January 26, 2012 Posted January 26, 2012 Congrats to Teachgrad and good luck to Safferz! Also, that Indiana results post was mine...bummer. That really does suck. At least you're getting a refund, but man that money could have gone to another app!

goldielocks Posted January 26, 2012 Author Posted January 26, 2012 C&C: CONGRATULATIONS! Safferz, I'm typing a PM for you.
goldielocks Posted January 26, 2012 Author Posted January 26, 2012 Okay, in case I missed this: congrats to the Duke acceptance!
telemaque Posted January 26, 2012 Posted January 26, 2012 Yes, congrats to the Duke acceptance! Does anyone know if Duke usually sends out all acceptances at once?
crazedandinfused Posted January 26, 2012 Posted January 26, 2012 Yes, congrats to whoever got in at Duke! Things do seem to be picking up......
taybaxter Posted January 26, 2012 Posted January 26, 2012 Yes, congrats to the Duke acceptance! Does anyone know if Duke usually sends out all acceptances at once? I'd love to know that too!
goldielocks Posted January 26, 2012 Author Posted January 26, 2012 Things do seem to be picking up...... Yes, finally. I am about to go into work for the evening... would love to see some more good news posted when I get home tonight.
Kelkel Posted January 26, 2012 Posted January 26, 2012 So with the tricky email from Buffalo earlier, I just checked my app status and it finally says "Under Committee Review"! I know this means nothing in terms of hearing anything soon, but it means the ball is rolling up in the chilly north!
taybaxter Posted January 26, 2012 Posted January 26, 2012 Okay, I broke down and emailed someone at Duke with whom I've been in touch. I have a decent excuse anyway: I'm leaving tomorrow and I'll be offline for a while so I won't necessarily be able to access my decision.
Singwaya18 Posted January 26, 2012 Posted January 26, 2012 Wow, people are already hearing back? That's really exciting (and simultaneously nerve-wracking!). I see the majority here are interested in European and American history. Anyone interested in African?
Safferz Posted January 27, 2012 Posted January 27, 2012 Wow, people are already hearing back? That's really exciting (and simultaneously nerve-wracking!). I see the majority here are interested in European and American history. Anyone interested in African? Looks like there are three of us now! Oseirus and I are both Africanists
CageFree Posted January 27, 2012 Posted January 27, 2012 Thanks everyone. I am really shocked because I just submitted the application on the 15th... so the turnaround was incredibly fast. I was hoping to hear from the first couple of schools (the Dec. 1st deadlines). Obviously I need to wait for the others but UCD is a really good fit for me... plus I'd love to stay in California and be relatively close to my family.
sandyvanb Posted January 27, 2012 Posted January 27, 2012 Congrats to Safferz on the interview and to teachgrad on the acceptance! I swear I am close to having a panic attack everytime I come to this site...
crater21 Posted January 27, 2012 Posted January 27, 2012 Wow, seems like it was an eventful day of good news on this thread! Safferz, congrats on the interview!! That's wonderful news! Good luck!! teachgrad, congrats on the acceptance! Must feel amazing to have heard back so early!! crazedandinfused, congrats on the fellowship nomination!! They must want you!!
crater21 Posted January 27, 2012 Posted January 27, 2012 (edited) Could not agree more! It's sooooo good! crater, I'm guessing you've seen this? justnomore, I hadn't seen that particular clip. So amazing! Thanks for that. Can't get enough of Maggie Smith! Edited January 27, 2012 by crater21
Dr.EJM Posted January 27, 2012 Posted January 27, 2012 I just got my first "unofficial" acceptance (from my POI) today, WITH funding, at UC Davis! I can't believe it! Grats!!
TMP Posted January 27, 2012 Posted January 27, 2012 So Hotlanta asked for an interview from someone... that's a first I've seen from Emory after being on these boards for several years.
Singwaya18 Posted January 27, 2012 Posted January 27, 2012 Looks like there are three of us now! Oseirus and I are both Africanists Oh, nice! What region are you interested in? I want to focus on East Africa and the effects of colonialism on prior conceptions of identity and its impact on the formation of nationalism and "tribalism". I also applied to Northwestern! Not expecting to get in there, hahaha. I met with the two Africanist POIs there, and they said it's very much about how you fit in with the community. They were both, also, really kind.
Singwaya18 Posted January 27, 2012 Posted January 27, 2012 And wow! Congrats on the interview at Yale! That is amazing!
owls Posted January 27, 2012 Posted January 27, 2012 Congrats to Safferz for the interview and teachgrad for the acceptance!
