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 :)

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!

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.

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!

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.

My anxiety level is obscenely high. I haven't been this nervous about anything in almost a decade.

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.

From what I've seen/heard, Harvard is the only program that does snail mail.

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!

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.

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.

Don't know much but I'm waitin!

Anyone on here apply to the JHU Humanities Center? Total silence on the board from them...no interviews, nothin.

Three years ago, Yale and Brown both came down essentially at the same time as Princeton.  So this week or next is my guess.

Thanks for the info as always!

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.
