dr. t Posted February 22, 2013 Posted February 22, 2013 Anyone have any information on Boston College?
stillalivetui Posted February 22, 2013 Posted February 22, 2013 Yes! That's the program I applied to... Did you apply to MA programs as well? Yep, I did. Chances are I'm attending IU. As for Boston College, I know they started notifying PhD applicants in recent days, and MA applicants get notified late March.
kyjin Posted February 22, 2013 Posted February 22, 2013 Waitlisted at Michigan (History). I'm just going with the assumption that I'm moving to LA for now theregalrenegade 1
theregalrenegade Posted February 23, 2013 Posted February 23, 2013 I was accepted today Illinois State. It's my backup school, but getting an acceptance feels really great. The waiting season is just that much easier now. Congrats on your first acceptance!

The waiting season is just that much easier now. Congratulations!!! Having at least one acceptance in the bag really does make the rest of the wait more bearable. I'm so happy for you!
stillalivetui Posted February 23, 2013 Posted February 23, 2013 Viggo, congrats on figuring out where you're attending!
dr. t Posted February 23, 2013 Posted February 23, 2013 I just got a letter from BC, answering my question from earlier. In other news, I'm now 0/4, with 5 remaining. Getting pretty nervous.

hollyevanmarie Posted February 24, 2013 Posted February 24, 2013 Has anybody heard from Temple or UIC? I got my first acceptance, which is a huge relief, but I am still nervously anticipating these.

annieca Posted February 24, 2013 Posted February 24, 2013 Congrats Viggo on choosing Chapel Hill. My one of my diss supervisors went there for their Germanic Studies program and loved the campus, the town and the History Department. She also got really into the sports but that might have been because her sister was at Duke at the same time... Apparently Maryland has made their HiLS decisions and they've gone out on the portal. But my portal is down. :/ Curse you aqua scum! Also, a question - I was rejected from South Carolina on Tuesday via their application portal but I haven't received any official "check the portal" or "You're rejected" email. Is that weird? Am I just weird? The governmental hiring freeze is putting a cramp on my summer plans. Apparently the Library of Congress isn't making decisions when they're suppose to because of the debt cliff thing. But I'd think they'd have made their decision and just wouldn't go through the background check and all that stuff until after the sequester. I mean, you'd think they wouldn't postpone interviews because of it? I wish they'd just get it over with and say "No" because if they do, then I'm probably going to Paris for a few days before hitching back to the US and helping my parents move. Bahh.
SLF0001 Posted February 24, 2013 Posted February 24, 2013 Decisions at Temple were made on February 15th. I'm in, but they haven't sent me anything officially. No reason to think you're out if you haven't heard.
tempest_teacups Posted February 24, 2013 Posted February 24, 2013 if anyone is still waiting to hear from wisconsin-madison, you should check the online portal. it appears that they made their decisions.
aec09g Posted February 25, 2013 Posted February 25, 2013 if anyone is still waiting to hear from wisconsin-madison, you should check the online portal. it appears that they made their decisions. Ah, I see it's time for me to collect my rejection letter. They waited so long to send out notification after the acceptances were released that anyone left over.. Well, rejection time it is. At least, I'm 1/4. (;
theregalrenegade Posted February 25, 2013 Posted February 25, 2013 Do you ever wonder if some schools (and POIs) just forget about you and your app (misplace it, get involved with other things, etc.)? After months have gone by, I think it would be hard to keep track of everyone. Sorry, just an early morning musing as I check websites and email.

After months have gone by, I think it would be hard to keep track of everyone. Sorry, just an early morning musing as I check websites and email. This happened to me at my MA school. My POI put my application on the side, so that he would remember to ask for my acceptance and forgot about it. I didn't get an offer until April 12th, as a result.
czesc Posted February 25, 2013 Posted February 25, 2013 (edited) Wow, you're lucky they were still able to make you an offer then! I guess we can all cross our fingers that this is what's happening at the schools we haven't heard back from... Edited February 25, 2013 by czesc
tpipoli Posted February 25, 2013 Posted February 25, 2013 Looks like there is a UConn acceptance on the boards, anyone know more about it?
czesc Posted February 25, 2013 Posted February 25, 2013 (edited) Just received my Columbia rejection. Let the slaughter of hopes and dreams begin. Edited February 25, 2013 by czesc
Zephyr99 Posted February 25, 2013 Posted February 25, 2013 Yes, the Columbia rejection festival has begun. I expected this though and I assume many others have as well.
viggosloof28 Posted February 25, 2013 Posted February 25, 2013 Official Columbia massacre day is here! No surprises at this point, I think. Most of us knew this was coming when we weren't contacted as admits a couple of weeks ago. Hugs to my fellow rejectees, and my sincere congratulations to the admits!
czesc Posted February 25, 2013 Posted February 25, 2013 It must feel good to be completely done now, viggo! I have a feeling a lot more schools will be getting this over with this week. Finally some closure.
erikmoorelaw Posted February 25, 2013 Posted February 25, 2013 Anyone have any insight on the status of things at the University of Iowa?
benedicite Posted February 25, 2013 Posted February 25, 2013 Congrats, Viggosloof! I'd give the Columbia form letter a good rating—maybe 4 out of 5. Impersonal, sure, but the genre necessitates that. It's nice to hear that they recognize the whole application process is fairly impersonal. Certainly better than Stanford, am I right?
