catsandscarves Posted February 13, 2014 Posted February 13, 2014 (edited) When this process started I was really just hoping for 1 "yes." Now I have choices between legitimately great programs. I'm pretty stunned really. In my program, we call this a "humble brag." But really, so very happy for you! Congrats on your successes Edited February 13, 2014 by catsandscarves cwkinder33 1
A Finicky Bean Posted February 13, 2014 Posted February 13, 2014 How many more schools are you waiting on? Like ten more. But I'm depressed at this point and ultimately defeated. Nothing in my inbox and all apps but three rejections, officially.
crisoch Posted February 13, 2014 Posted February 13, 2014 WHO WANTS TO CLAIM THE STANFORD HISTORY ACCEPTANCE!

cwkinder33 Posted February 13, 2014 Posted February 13, 2014 How did you receive your letter from Kentucky? Still waiting on a response from them.
Zephyr99 Posted February 13, 2014 Posted February 13, 2014 I got an email from UK a couple weeks ago. cwkinder33 1
mujereslibres Posted February 13, 2014 Posted February 13, 2014 Are any of the U Chicago acceptances here from the Latin American or International history fields? Still holding onto the silly hope that they are being released by field.
maelia8 Posted February 13, 2014 Posted February 13, 2014 When this process started I was really just hoping for 1 "yes." Now I have choices between legitimately great programs. I'm pretty stunned really. That is so great for you! Are you still waiting to hear from any schools that are your top choices, or is it just a matter of choosing between the schools you've already gotten into?
Rheasylvia Posted February 13, 2014 Posted February 13, 2014 WHO WANTS TO CLAIM THE STANFORD HISTORY ACCEPTANCE! I do! Middle East concentration. Declining GW, Minnesota and Brown
WKYApplicant Posted February 13, 2014 Posted February 13, 2014 How did you receive your letter from Kentucky? Still waiting on a response from them. I received an e-mail a few weeks ago that had a general acceptance from the Graduate Studies office and received another e-mail a few days ago (about 2 or so weeks after the acceptance e-mail) from the History Graduate Studies Director with a .pdf document that contained my offer. My person of interest was CC'd on the e-mail as well. They said they were sending a paper copy in the mail in addition to the e-mailed offer. cwkinder33 1

TL1234 Posted February 14, 2014 Posted February 14, 2014 Are any of the U Chicago acceptances here from the Latin American or International history fields? Still holding onto the silly hope that they are being released by field. I was accepted at U Chicago for Latin American History.
Zephyr99 Posted February 14, 2014 Posted February 14, 2014 Any other GW admits out there? I know there are only 6 of us out there
rolfsinjpn Posted February 15, 2014 Posted February 15, 2014 I have on good authority that the UPenn admissions committee was scheduled to meet Thursday the 13th to deliberate, but the school was closed that day due to snow and so the meeting never happened. Late results from UPenn are likely.

Late results from UPenn are likely. BOO! worst news I've heard haha Probably by the end of next week then if they were support to tell us around today-tuesday...maybe? Just speculating but feeling hopeful!
rolfsinjpn Posted February 15, 2014 Posted February 15, 2014 Probably by the end of next week then if they were support to tell us around today-tuesday...maybe? Just speculating but feeling hopeful! My guess as well. I'll pass along what else I can as I find out.
catsandscarves Posted February 15, 2014 Posted February 15, 2014 My guess as well. I'll pass along what else I can as I find out. Please do! Where are you hearing from if I might ask?
rolfsinjpn Posted February 15, 2014 Posted February 15, 2014 I'd rather not say. I wasn't explicitly told not to share this information, but just to be on the safe side...
catsandscarves Posted February 15, 2014 Posted February 15, 2014 I'm sorry for asking and really appreciate you sharing! Was just curious!
rolfsinjpn Posted February 15, 2014 Posted February 15, 2014 I'm sorry for asking and really appreciate you sharing! Was just curious! no problem. I'd be curious too.
spellbanisher Posted February 15, 2014 Posted February 15, 2014 (edited) I applied to 4 program (UC Davis, Rutgers, University of Oklahoma, George Mason) in American history(1870-1930 period). So far I have been offered a four year fellowship to the University of Oklahoma and a five year funding package from UC Davis. I have not heard back from Mason or Rutgers yet.

mujereslibres Posted February 15, 2014 Posted February 15, 2014 I was accepted at U Chicago for Latin American History. Awesome! Congrats on getting in!
Henry Hudson Posted February 16, 2014 Posted February 16, 2014 Anyone want to claim the Rutgers acceptance? Two listed, but it looks like a duplicate post.
awells27 Posted February 16, 2014 Posted February 16, 2014 Why do POIs notify of acceptance prior to official letter/email? Is this in case other offers have been made or are looming?
czesc Posted February 16, 2014 Posted February 16, 2014 ^ That's probably part of it. Many schools also know they have an advantage the earlier an applicant hears a result - because he or she starts planning some details re: attending the first school(s) he/she gets into, which makes it harder to switch to planning for anther school, all else being equal, later.
