cokohlik Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 Does anyone have any insight into UVA/when they will be sending out acceptances/so on? I haven't contacted them but maybe some of you have? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DiogenesCynicus Posted March 9, 2012 Share Posted March 9, 2012 I know some decisions have been made, but other than that I don't know when they will be sending out notifications. Hope this helps! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cokohlik Posted March 9, 2012 Author Share Posted March 9, 2012 It does! Thank you! I saw that they notified a couple people already, but being optimistic I'd like to think that those few people were at the top of the list and they're still going to accept some more.

Those may have been the people who were offered university-wide fellowships, so they heard early to come visit for the interview weekend. Usually mid to late March is when everything gets sent out. This week was spring break here, so not a whole lot happened. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DiogenesCynicus Posted March 9, 2012 Share Posted March 9, 2012 Ahhh! Thank you!!!! That gives me a glimmer of hope No worries! I didn't hear back until the end of March/beginning of April. All I can say is hang in there, it'll work out in the end. cokohlik 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wow!! End of March... Good on you for surviving that long! I feel like it's been an eternity, especially since when I spoke to my POI last year, he told me to email him once I'd submitted my application, and when I did, he never replied. Ah! I haven't found a legitimate "excuse" to email him since. I sure hope they start notifying soon! And that they're in high spirits after spring break Thank you so much!

cokohlik Posted March 13, 2012 Author Share Posted March 13, 2012 Well, I emailed them since my MA offer needs an answer soon and I got a reply super fast. I'm on the wait list but they don't think they'll need it this year, so rejections will be sent out April 15. Wasn't sure if them not thinking they'll need it meant I am far down on the list or if they simply already have lots of accepted offers. Either way, it's a wait list and not an outright rejection so that's good, eh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LLajax Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 They're not sending any of the rejects out until April 15?! Blargh. Thanks for the insight. I think the wait list situation this year might be because they're strictly limited to 5 people. Maybe I should email them too? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cokohlik Posted March 13, 2012 Author Share Posted March 13, 2012 Couldn't hurt They did say they already made their first offers of admission. It seemed like that's all they'll need. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DiogenesCynicus Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 There were only 4 in last year's incoming class, and they're capping at 5 this year. As far as I'm aware, there have been 2 offers made to fellowship candidates, but you never know when a spot will open up. That being said, there are a lot of applicants to the department, and a full 1/3 of those applications are for classical art and archaeology, so it's a delicate balancing act to admit students for all the various subfields and the classical archaeology program, since they all share the same pool of open slots for admissions.

fullofpink Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 (edited) Just a head's up, my colleague - who is not for classical art and archaeology - accepted their fully-funded offer. Edited March 13, 2012 by fullofpink Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
