levoyous Posted February 3, 2014 Posted February 3, 2014 Thanks! I hope people keep sending tips on cohort sizes. To say it is "updated constantly" would unfortunately be an understatement.
catsandscarves Posted February 3, 2014 Posted February 3, 2014 Have a great week everyone! Try to be a bit productive as you wait on news! That's what I'm trying to do!
sankofa Posted February 3, 2014 Posted February 3, 2014 Thanks! I hope people keep sending tips on cohort sizes. To say it is "updated constantly" would unfortunately be an understatement. Idk if this helps but I was told unc greensboro takes "4-5 new doctoral applicants" all US history, though. Good luck everyone
catsandscarves Posted February 3, 2014 Posted February 3, 2014 Here comes U Chicago.... I have a feeling this is going to be a big week! I didn't apply there but holding my breath for those who did!
guineu Posted February 3, 2014 Posted February 3, 2014 (edited) Here comes U Chicago.... I just saw that posting, too. Based on previous years' results, January 31 is 1-2 weeks early for notification from the University of Chicago. I suppose it is possible that some decisions are known that early and that a professor was eager to contact an admitted student. If last year is any indication, Princeton and Columbia are among the top programs that might send out acceptances later this week. Chicago was a week later last year, but in 2012 acceptances went out February 8. Edited February 3, 2014 by guineu

Last year seems to be a good place to look but definitely not the rule on when things are going to come out...Berkeley, Madison, and Oklahoma all had offiicial offers out in late January last year and seem to be a bit behind....just gotta wait for whatever comes!
levoyous Posted February 3, 2014 Posted February 3, 2014 I wonder if the Northeast being buried in snow again will slow things down this week.
New England Nat Posted February 3, 2014 Posted February 3, 2014 I can tell you Princeton was open today. It was the first day of classes for spring so they probably didn't want to mess that up.
catsandscarves Posted February 3, 2014 Posted February 3, 2014 Might affect mail delivery but not decision making...unless campuses are officially closed.

Chicago was a week later last year, but in 2012 acceptances went out February 8. My anxiety level is obscenely high. I haven't been this nervous about anything in almost a decade.
catsandscarves Posted February 3, 2014 Posted February 3, 2014 My anxiety level is obscenely high. I haven't been this nervous about anything in almost a decade. haha right there with you! Big programs= big stress!
New England Nat Posted February 3, 2014 Posted February 3, 2014 Decisions from Princeton wont be sent snail mail. Official paperwork will eventually but you'll get notice electronically.
levoyous Posted February 3, 2014 Posted February 3, 2014 Seems like it's very rare to hear by snail mail first.
catsandscarves Posted February 3, 2014 Posted February 3, 2014 (edited) Seems like it's very rare to hear by snail mail first. Yeah, I bet they send out the email followed by snail mail. would make sense. Edited February 3, 2014 by catsandscarves
thedig13 Posted February 3, 2014 Posted February 3, 2014 Seems like it's very rare to hear by snail mail first. From what I've seen/heard, Harvard is the only program that does snail mail.
red4tribe Posted February 4, 2014 Posted February 4, 2014 I'm getting anxious, I applied to eight school and haven't heard back from any yet. I'm hoping this is the week I get at least one response!
phdwannab Posted February 4, 2014 Posted February 4, 2014 Any ideas about Yale? There has only been one posting this year (an interview around January 21, I think) The past two years they've notified acceptances around Feb 6th/7th-ish, and rejections mid-Feb.
levoyous Posted February 4, 2014 Posted February 4, 2014 thedig13, seems like even most Harvard people get POI emails before their snail mail letter arrives. red4tribe, it's impossible not to be anxious, but I wouldn't worry yet. It's only just time for most of them to start coming, and still early for many more.

levoyous Posted February 4, 2014 Posted February 4, 2014 Anyone on here apply to the JHU Humanities Center? Total silence on the board from them...no interviews, nothin.
New England Nat Posted February 4, 2014 Posted February 4, 2014 Three years ago, Yale and Brown both came down essentially at the same time as Princeton. So this week or next is my guess. schlesinger1 and catsandscarves 1 1

jamc8383 Posted February 4, 2014 Posted February 4, 2014 From what I've seen/heard, Harvard is the only program that does snail mail. UW-Madison does snail mail as well. Seems cruel at this stage in the game. If last year is any indication, three of the six programs to which I've applied could drop acceptances this week. I. am. freaking. out.
