saltome Posted March 3, 2014 Posted March 3, 2014 How was the decision sent out? For Stanford, an email informing us that the attached letter had the decision. Also, that they were going to do all decisions via email.
zech01 Posted March 3, 2014 Posted March 3, 2014 I'm a little late to this conversation, but I applied to a couple of schools including Stanford and haven't heard back from any yet. So for those still waiting for results - don't worry you aren't alone .

So for those still waiting for results - don't worry you aren't alone . Not hearing anything yet from Stanford may be a good thing, since it looks like rejections may have been sent first? Speculating based on a very small sample set Just received acceptance from Duke, pretty pleased about that! Only 2 schools left to hear from, Yale and Harvard...
MastersHoping Posted March 3, 2014 Posted March 3, 2014 Everything was sent via email for me. Unfortunately, I got denied from both Duke and Stanford today. But hey, I got into Georgetown, and Georgetown is no consolation prize ! Congrats Saltome! Do you think you might go there? And same, I'm waiting on Yale and Harvard, although I'm probably not going to go to either one even if they take me.
yh2654 Posted March 3, 2014 Posted March 3, 2014 Where are these Harvard RSEA decisions... I hope that they make an exception and inform me electronically, cuz most mail that's sent to my village never makes it Hi Yuanzhu, actually you needn't to be worried for that. I once got a reply from the RSEA as this: "Once the decision is ‘posted’ in AY, the applicant will see ‘Your decision is available to view’ they click on this and see the decision letter." So you'll certainly be accessible to the decision once it comes out. I'm also waiting for Harvard. Good Luck!
kindkw123 Posted March 4, 2014 Posted March 4, 2014 Can anyone rationalize paying ~$90,000 in tuition for 2 years at Stanford? Seriously, please convince me. God dammit I want to go, but it just might not be viable.
yuanzhu Posted March 4, 2014 Posted March 4, 2014 Thanks guys! Kindkw, I live in rural Yunnan, not too far from Dali. You?
kindkw123 Posted March 4, 2014 Posted March 4, 2014 Thanks guys! Kindkw, I live in rural Yunnan, not too far from Dali. You? I know it is quite far from Kunming, but I hope you are safe. Good luck on Harvard!

God dammit I want to go, but it just might not be viable. Aren't there TAships and other things like that? The email mentioned that no funding was available but it appears that in the past people have received full tuition scholarships..
minion.banana Posted March 4, 2014 Posted March 4, 2014 I didn't end up applying to Duke since the department told me they wouldn't notify people of FLAS and such until May, and I can't commit to $90,000 tuition either! Though I'm also just tired of the area since I work at Duke and went to UNC for undergrad, so I need a change of scenery anyways. Still waiting to hear from USC!
yuanzhu Posted March 4, 2014 Posted March 4, 2014 Thanks, kindkw. I actually left Kunming one week before the attack, and many of my friends were passing through the station at that time. 真可惜
gimmethatfunding Posted March 4, 2014 Posted March 4, 2014 Who here is Korea focus? And if so, what is your area of interest and with whom/where would you most like to go? pm me if you'd like. Really would like to meet some fellow Korea studies people!
MastersHoping Posted March 4, 2014 Posted March 4, 2014 Woah woah woah.... Yale is starting to send out admissions??? How come I didn't get anything yet, grrrr. gimmethatfunding, I am Korea focused and will likely be attending Georgetown.
spottedzebra Posted March 4, 2014 Author Posted March 4, 2014 I was notified by Yale through an email to check the website. No word on funding yet, apparently it's going to come later via the good old fashioned USPS
MastersHoping Posted March 4, 2014 Posted March 4, 2014 ^looks like you've had some pretty good results so far. Where on the website? Do you have a link? Maybe my result is up but they haven't notified applicants via email yet
spottedzebra Posted March 4, 2014 Author Posted March 4, 2014 I just logged in and if you scroll all the way down to the bottom it should say admissions decision Good luck!!
tenguru Posted March 4, 2014 Posted March 4, 2014 Hi all, Isn't the Stanford MA one year? 46 units with commencement in June. So it wouldn't be 90K. I really regret not applying for all the fellowships now that they accepted me.

And same, I'm waiting on Yale and Harvard, although I'm probably not going to go to either one even if they take me. It looks like Duke's funding probably won't be comparable to what I have been offered elsewhere, and like Andrea said, it's an insane amount of $$ to commit to....but, still haven't actually heard what they can offer, so still up in the air. My Yale applyyourself thingy still hasn't changed since I submitted my app in December, so I'm guessing probably a rejection, since the only results up for Yale EAS MA so far are acceptances. Although of course, doesn't mean much...the mysteries of how schools send out notices!

tenguru Posted March 4, 2014 Posted March 4, 2014 Yes. Pre-modern Japanese history. Not sure about Stanford yet, but I am definitely considering it.
MastersHoping Posted March 4, 2014 Posted March 4, 2014 ^Interesting that of all the places you've heard back from so far, the only place you got into was Stanford XD. Congrats on getting in!
tenguru Posted March 4, 2014 Posted March 4, 2014 Thank you! This was my third time applying around. I was hoping for a direct path from undergrad to a Hist PhD program, but it proved difficult as an AS major. The MA should help a lot with my goals. Now, I just have to figure out how I can pay for it!
steelkokoro Posted March 5, 2014 Posted March 5, 2014 Yes. Pre-modern Japanese history. Not sure about Stanford yet, but I am definitely considering it. Cool, maybe we might be cohort-mates!
