ashiepoo72 Posted January 23, 2015 Posted January 23, 2015 congrats on MSU anthrohis! I'd upvote you, but it seems like I was overzealous with my votes earlier! anthrohis7092 1
rmw Posted January 23, 2015 Posted January 23, 2015 Woohoo congrats to the admits! Hopefully this means the acceptance train will keep on rolling for the rest of us
SunshineLolipops Posted January 23, 2015 Posted January 23, 2015 I'm interested in 19th century U.S. Military history and counterinsurgency during the Civil War, but my MLitt dissertation will be on the formation of British Bomb Disposal in WWII.
Heimat Historian Posted January 24, 2015 Posted January 24, 2015 Someone else posted an interview to my same school. Should I be worried? Lol
Magellan1521 Posted January 24, 2015 Posted January 24, 2015 (edited) OK, got my first rejection from MSU. Â Surprised... Edited January 24, 2015 by Magellan1521
anthrohis7092 Posted January 24, 2015 Posted January 24, 2015 congrats on MSU anthrohis! I'd upvote you, but it seems like I was overzealous with my votes earlier! Â I just did it for you hah! Next week is going to be overwhelmed with interviews, but at least now I am in a much better mood to prepare for what's coming up.
ashiepoo72 Posted January 24, 2015 Posted January 24, 2015 Heimat -- don't worry! You're going to rock that interview!  Magellan -- I'm sorry to hear that. There's still a ton of schools that haven't notified, I'm sure you'll get into a great program!  anthrohis -- thanks for doing me a solid   and yeah, I was dreading the first notification, but having positive news certainly lifted a weight off!  I'm over here keeping my fingers crossed for everyone and sending y'all good vibes!!
paulxobear Posted January 24, 2015 Posted January 24, 2015 I haven't received any news, good or bad, from any school. I am really anxious to see that some schools that I have applied have sent out interview emails! How sad I've got none! Does it mean I am out of the game if I haven't received any interview emails by now? Can anyone knows about the interview process illuminate me a bit? Is it just with the POI or also with other faculty such as DGS etc.? Is it in person or by phone/Skype? Wish you all get admitted to your dream school!
ashiepoo72 Posted January 24, 2015 Posted January 24, 2015 Most programs don't have official interviews. Usually it's a POI wanting to get in touch informally. Others can probably inform more about programs that tend toward more formal interviews. Only one of the schools I applied to does, and even then it's not consistent. Don't fret just yet! I know it's awful seeing the interviews pop up on the results board when your inbox stays empty, but you'll be hearing back soon enough!
SunshineLolipops Posted January 24, 2015 Posted January 24, 2015 UNC Chapel Hill just posted its first acceptance. It was by email from a POI.

I have applied to Yale and Princeton (and others), both seem to have formal interviews in the past. Best wishes to everyone!
Magellan1521 Posted January 24, 2015 Posted January 24, 2015 Congrats to all the new admits! Â Quick question: When did Berkeley send out its decisions? Â I have not received an admission or rejection email/snail mail. Â
ashiepoo72 Posted January 24, 2015 Posted January 24, 2015 The post on the results board was a POI email, so I'm not surprised you haven't received any information yet. Some POIs will send out emails ahead of the official notification, others won't.
dr. t Posted January 24, 2015 Author Posted January 24, 2015 (edited) Based on previous trends, I would expect offers from Berkeley in the coming week, and rejections the week after, with a second wave of acceptances in the second or third week of Feb. Â From the data, I infer that the send out acceptances to those with university fellowships, then rejections, then acceptances to those who received departmental funding.

levoyous Posted January 24, 2015 Posted January 24, 2015 OH I forgot about Boston College. I applied there as well. I keep looking at the results page and it seems like everyone is hearing back except for us! Â What is your field? I looked back at my email and my acceptance email from last year came on 2/11.
Chiqui74 Posted January 24, 2015 Posted January 24, 2015 Someone else posted an interview to my same school. Should I be worried? Lol Me too :/
rmw Posted January 24, 2015 Posted January 24, 2015 What is your field? I looked back at my email and my acceptance email from last year came on 2/11. Â 19th century US and Atlantic World. I'm hoping it comes before 2/11, but realistically I know it probably won't.

What a great boost to the first week of a new semester!
Annalistasaxo89 Posted January 24, 2015 Posted January 24, 2015 I got accepted by Berkeley. I should hear back from Chicago soon I think. SunshineLolipops and ashiepoo72 2
Heimat Historian Posted January 24, 2015 Posted January 24, 2015 Nice to see so many acceptances around here. Congrats everyone!
ashiepoo72 Posted January 24, 2015 Posted January 24, 2015 I just tried to explain to my brother why I'm so ecstatic over one of my classes. When I told him it's because the professor structured the reading assignments as though the syllabus was a work of art (the flow of the reading is just gorgeously done...ugh, I'm such a nerd), he looked at me like I grew another head. I should be used to the incredulous looks by now haha SunshineLolipops, Josh J. and Heimat Historian 3
SunshineLolipops Posted January 24, 2015 Posted January 24, 2015 (edited) It looks like UVA pretty consistently notifies people on 30/31 January over the past couple years... Why did I have to start obsessing over this site this week while I've got two presentations and two essays due? Edited January 24, 2015 by JJWS rmw 1
