Salaam,

 

A few years ago when I applied to graduate programs in NELC, this forum kept me sane while waiting around. I have just sent off my application for Near Eastern Studies, and have 4 months of waiting ahead of me. I only have the stupid GRE left to take (didn't know I had to take it again until about 2 weeks) ago. I thought I would start the thread this year. Once deadlines are past I will be happy to talk more about where I've applied and what my academic interests are. Anyone else interested in commiserating?

I am applying to two schools (and other schools but different departments) and have sent them now. Let's see what will happen.

It's more than likely that Yale's Arabic Studies will not accept any applicant for Fall 2014. An inside source just told me that!

Hey everyone,

 

I've got an acceptance for a PhD program, and am waiting to hear about funding. Is it wise, in order to express my interest in accepting, that I write or call the graduate adviser to say I'm happily and patiently waiting for more details, or write to a POI to do the same? The department hasn't heard anything from me since they accepted me, but I don't really have anything to say until I hear more details, any thoughts?

Ugh, waiting is the absolute worst! My sub-field is Egyptology. Does anyone know when UPenn (NELC) makes their decisions? I couldn't find any sort of timeline on their website...

 

Best of luck to everyone, and congrats to those who have received offers!

Ross - i've emailed mine back saying thanks, i'm really flattered/surprised and i'll make my decision as soon as poss. it surely can't do any harm...

Thanks Idoone. A prof reached out to explain everything last night. There are some wonderful, super thoughtful professors out there. Good luck everyone!

It looks like people have been receiving news from Chicago and JHU. I have yet to hear anything. Reasons why?

Posted

I haven't heard anything from Chicago yet either. Since the only results I have seen on here are acceptances, I'm guessing this means a rejection...or possibly a waitlist? We should hear this week if last year's timeline is anything to go by.

You got admitted to a really great program at JHU so I wouldn't worry too much..

 

Thank you! I just hate not knowing...the waiting seems endless...
