Brandeis

To the person who was wait-listed at Brandeis:

Do you know if the entire history department has selected & notified those being accepted/wait-listed? Or is this only American History?

I applied for the Comparative History program but haven't heard anything yet. :|

I'm not sure exactly who is being contacted. I received an email from a professor I had been in touch with this morning, so I'm not sure if there is a more official email or letter on the way or not.

Keep the faith!

I applied there too. Haven't heard anything. Contextually, this year is out of the ordinary for them. Bernie Madoff stole a lot of their money. They are selling their art museum. The economy isn't helping. So funding has some challenges.

I saw that another person was contacted and accepted for american history. congrats.

i'm still crossing my fingers for a spot in the comparative history program.

Crossing my fingers for ya! I almost applied to the same program at Brandeis...but went with an app to Brown instead (they were both outrageously expensive as I recall it and I felt my shot at either was pretty slim...but Brown still has my app so maybe not that slim?). Brandeis is a good school--and the comparative history program is growing even with the slow economy so I'm sure they're considering you if they still have your app.

Thanks, everybody. Yeah, i hope they're still considering me. I still haven't heard anything. I'm just waiting patiently. Or as patiently as possible anyways. :?
