veilside Posted March 9, 2009 Author Posted March 9, 2009 I just got the letter today (live in NY). Rejected... really suprised since I have a 3.76, 10 semesters of Latin, 5 of Greek, 2 French, 2 German, a very well received writing sample, strong reccs, and a tight SOP, and was invited down for two days in October by Talbert..... Oh well... the economy has caused a good number of problems.... Good luck to those waiting to hear. BTW, it was a very small letter, and a pathetic one at that. I only have two more schools to go, so far I have no acceptances.... waiting for Princeton and Penn State..... I'm probably screwed.

It's probably not a good sign since it wasn't the history dept. that I applied to there... I applied for the ancient history program there and that happens to be through the classics dept. The classics dept. has been contacting at least 4-5 people on this forum for interviews, and have contacted the waitlisted.... so...I'm prob. rejected there too..... we'll see though.
Nikki Posted March 9, 2009 Posted March 9, 2009 I got my rejection letter in the mail today. Three down, two to go...
habu987 Posted March 10, 2009 Posted March 10, 2009 For anyone who has yet to hear from UNC--I got an email back from the graduate assistant, Violet, today. She said that they mailed out the notifications on Friday via snail mail. Guess it's just a matter of time, now....
habu987 Posted March 11, 2009 Posted March 11, 2009 Anyone here who applied to UNC NOT gotten their notification letter? I can't figure out why it would take 4 days and counting for a letter to go from Chapel Hill, NC to Charleston, SC. Kinda messing with my mind....
futurePhD Posted March 12, 2009 Posted March 12, 2009 I Was out of town for a few days and had a rejection letter waiting for me when I returned. If I didn't already have a nice offer on the table this would hurt more, but its still disappointing.
habu987 Posted March 13, 2009 Posted March 13, 2009 Got my rejection letter today. Friday the 13th...shocker...
limeinthecoconut Posted March 13, 2009 Posted March 13, 2009 Got my rejection letter today. Friday the 13th...shocker... *ouch* Really sorry to hear that.
habu987 Posted March 13, 2009 Posted March 13, 2009 Nah, I was expecting it. 50 people applied for the 2 open spots in my field, so I wasn't holding my breath that I would get in. Still, the Friday the 13th connotation is kinda eerie--took my letter a week to arrive, from NC to SC....
