Pius Aeneas Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 Rejected from WUSTL for Art History and Archaeology (Classical). Still waiting on Boston University, University of Missouri, Florida State, and University of Arizona. I heard about IPGRH last week. Someone else I know still hasn't heard anything so I am guessing that no news is good news at this point! That would be a super program and is suppose to have really cohesive cohorts! Good luck!!

Veilside1 Posted February 8, 2012 Author Share Posted February 8, 2012 Thanks!! That's a little spark of hope for me. I'll keep my fingers crossed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rkg2012 Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 Has anyone heard from Joukowsky? Classics, History, and Anthropology have all sent out decisions, but I haven't seen anything for Archaeology and the Ancient World. To the person who said that IPCAA made decisions... how do you know? It wasn't a good fit for me anyway, but I'd still like an answer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Veilside1 Posted February 8, 2012 Author Share Posted February 8, 2012 RKG, A fellow MA student of mine here at UArizona received notice of her acceptance to Brown's program last Friday as far as I know... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RomulusAugustulus Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 rkg, a kid I know got an interview at Michigan and at Brown, he's an archaeology guy so I am relatively certain that it was for IPCAA and Joukowsky. I don't think either have sent waitlists or rejections yet so I guess we'll see what happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sad, I guess that's a no-go for Brown. I do wish they would send all the notifications at the same time. Maybe I'm lucky and on the wait-list? I just got the go find your rejection letter online from AHMA. Good luck to everyone else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Veilside1 Posted February 9, 2012 Author Share Posted February 9, 2012 Attia, Was your app to Brown to the Classics or History Department? The gist I got from your post earlier was that you applied to the Joint Ancieny History PhD program via Classics, just curious though. Looking for any strands of hope.

Frostfire Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 I haven't heard anything except for Cornell. The waiting is terrible. *sigh* Here's hoping lots of decisions get sent out tomorrow? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Attia Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 Veilside, I actually applied to the Joint Program through History rather than Classics. I hope that means that there is still hope for you via Classics! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frostfire Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 I'm with you. Waiting is tough. What's your area of interest? Roman archaeology. You'd think being TA for an intro Latin sequence would help, but nothing yet. You? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Attia, This week has been filled with no news for me, but this is twice now that you have given me hope for two of the programs that I really want, and that I'm still waiting to hear from. If I ever see you in person, I owe you a beer! I am dissapointed that I never heard back from Chicago though, although maybe I'll be waitlisted there, who knows. You can't ever count a school out until they officially reject you, so we'll see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
non humilis mulier Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 Roman archaeology. You'd think being TA for an intro Latin sequence would help, but nothing yet. You? Latin poetry is my primary research interest. And I'm sure your TA position has helped your app. It's just stiff competition! Hope you hear good news soon -- like tomorrow!

Hope you hear good news soon -- like tomorrow! It's hard to feel confident after staring at my lone rejection for the last week. Of course, it doesn't help that I'm having to deal with Greek this semester when I wasn't planning to. The downside of a small program.Latin poetry is cool. I've enjoyed the classes involving the major poets, although Statius bored me terribly.Tomorrow would be nice, definitely! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
non humilis mulier Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 I haven't read Statius, so he might bore me, too. Where all are you waiting to hear from, still? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
non humilis mulier Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 Omnes-- out of curiosity, are y'all applying straight out of undergrad or from MAs and postbaccs? I graduated with my BA in 2011 and I am taking a "gap" year, so to speak. I think the extra time has been good; it afforded me the opportunity to mature as a scholar and polish my apps.

Veilside1 Posted February 10, 2012 Author Share Posted February 10, 2012 Mulier, I have a dual BA in Classics and History from a large state school, Post-Bacc from UPenn, and finishing up my MA at UArizona... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frostfire Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 I haven't read Statius, so he might bore me, too. Where all are you waiting to hear from, still? Basically everywhere. I also applied to Brown's Joukowsky Institute, UT Austin, Florida State, Johns Hopkins' interdepartmental Classical Art and Archaeology program, and Boston U's Archaeology program. I'm applying from an MA program, so hopefully that helps. We'll see though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Veilside1 Posted February 10, 2012 Author Share Posted February 10, 2012 I can't believe that here it is Friday, 3:18 pm EST, and this week has passed with no word from any of my remaining 12 programs... It looks like another long weekend is ahead of waiting till Monday morning. I find it very odd that for the past few weeks I've dreaded the weekend and looked forward to Monday.

non humilis mulier Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 It was a pretty slow week. But one of my schools emailed me on a Saturday, so you never know! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pius Aeneas Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 Received an email from Florida State today notifying me that I was accepted for an MA. I feel like I can breathe a huge sigh of relief, now that I know I've been accepted by at least one program. Still waiting on Boston University, University of Missouri and University of Arizona. non humilis mulier 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
