nextplay43 Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 Is there a consensus on what's going on with Harvard? I know there were some POI emails and someone posted in this thread that an official email went out...has that been confirmed? Harvard is the last school I'm waiting on so just curious if anyone has any information on whether they are for sure done sending out admits...

czesc Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 We only have one person saying an official email has gone out so far. Would be great if some others who were accepted could confirm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ttayl715 Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 I just received a rejection email from WashU. So, apparently they're still working through their applications. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bactrian Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 A UPenn update: apparently the committee has made their decisions and forwarded them to the dean.I was accepted by Penn today. I got an email from the grad director with information about funding that also said a formal offer would come in a few weeks. lafayette 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

czesc Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 Congrats, Bactrian! Was this a personalized-seeming email or did it look like a mass email all acceptees receive? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhD or Bust Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 In case anyone is wondering...New Mexico decisions are in the mail. You can contact the admissions office or the department for details if you don't want to wait. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lafayette Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 I am really looking forward to having this process be over! Would like the final word, or rejections: please. Obviously one from Columbia, probably from Penn as no interview, & w/e Harvard (Hist. of Am. Civ). I might shed a little tear if this isn't wrapped up by March 1. czesc and virmundi 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I havent heard from Harvard's Am Civ by then, I can safely say I am not getting in. They always notify accepted students before then. I want to just go tomorrow and see what's up but I'm not ready to let the dream die. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

annieca Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 Where did February go?! It seems like just yesterday it was January! Â Congrats and condolences to all. *hugs*Â Â Funnily enough, even though my decision is made, I'm now on the hunt again, this time looking at Human Rights Law programs. I know there's a site for law students that's like the GradCafe. Does anyone happen to know it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
czesc Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 It seems that this is not a good year to be a Latin Americanist... Â Or a Europeanist. Lots of tight quotas imposed. I assume US history gets the bulk of subsidies departments receive and philanthropic grants, etc. Â Anyway it looks like Penn admitted in two waves last year and someone was admitted off the waitlist, too, so no one's Penn dreams should die today.

I know there's a site for law students that's like the GradCafe. Does anyone happen to know it? Â There are a few. Law School Discussion is the big one. There's also Top Law Schools and (if for some reason you're feeling like you want to supplement your law school admissions advice with lots of anonymous sexism and racism) AutoAdmit (xoxohth.com), which bills itself as "the most prestigious law school admissions forum in the world" (seriously). Â Note that if you're looking at JDs, you can't get one in a given subject, you'd just be a general law student and take lots of human rights courses in your second and third years if that's your primary interest. You could probably find an LLM in human rights, but those generally have JDs as prerequisites. And MAs in human rights law wouldn't let you practice as a lawyer (unless you already had a JD/license). Â If you or anyone else wants any other law school advice, feel free to PM me. Edited February 21, 2013 by czesc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goingcrazy Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 Congrats, Bactrian. Did you have an interview ?  I would also love to know this. Can we expect to receive emails from the DGS or should we expect to get the official notifications later? I wonder... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aje1988 Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 I e-mailed the Director at UNC-Chapel Hill. Said that I should receive an e-mail from the Graduate School shortly. Can't help but to feel a bit defeated, though if I am indeed rejected I wish she would've just told me now. Haha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vtstevie Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 Here come the Stanford rejects...I didn't REALLY expect to get in, so I feel better about this one than I did Northwestern. Honestly, I'm just happy to have another result so I can stop wondering. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
czesc Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 The Stanford massacre is at hand! California really didn't want me moving there; oh well. Cold winters forever it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
