kblooms Posted February 2, 2015 Posted February 2, 2015 Does that mean they are sending out acceptances telkanuru?
dr. t Posted February 2, 2015 Author Posted February 2, 2015 (edited) Does that mean they are sending out acceptances telkanuru? Â Not for another week, I wouldn't think? I actually don't have great information - my POI is a cagey man. Edited February 2, 2015 by telkanuru
kblooms Posted February 2, 2015 Posted February 2, 2015 Oh, did you just mean Harvard is literally open for normal business hours?
IvanBezdomnii Posted February 2, 2015 Posted February 2, 2015 Oh, did you just mean Harvard is literally open for normal business hours? I think so. Haha, my hopes went up for a second!
dr. t Posted February 2, 2015 Author Posted February 2, 2015 Oh, did you just mean Harvard is literally open for normal business hours? Â Yes, sorry!
Heimat Historian Posted February 2, 2015 Posted February 2, 2015 Ok. Let the guessing games begin: Â Which schools will send out their correspondence this week? Â My bet is on Minnesota,GW, maybe Kansas. Â Just looking at past entries and working only from my own list. Â Anyone else care to venture some wild speculation?Â
IvanBezdomnii Posted February 2, 2015 Posted February 2, 2015 Ok. Let the guessing games begin:  Which schools will send out their correspondence this week?  My bet is on Minnesota,GW, maybe Kansas.  Just looking at past entries and working only from my own list.  Anyone else care to venture some wild speculation? Hoping beyond hope that Harvard will. But at this point betting my wait to hear back from my first school extends into next week. Hoping that some hints will be dropped as to when Penn will send out decisions during my interview on Wednesday.
kblooms Posted February 2, 2015 Posted February 2, 2015 I would love Brown, Indiana, Princeton, OSU, or Harvard

Chiqui74 Posted February 2, 2015 Posted February 2, 2015 (edited) Join the club! Can't wait until we start hearing. My sister had a great piece of advice: buy a bottle of bourbon or scotch that you'd not normally pay for (think Johnny walker gold) and have it ready for when you receive any news. Â Â Considering I'd most likely receive news while at work (9 to 5 and all that), I'm pretty sure HR would frown upon that Edited February 2, 2015 by Chiqui74 Heimat Historian 1

Heimat Historian Posted February 2, 2015 Posted February 2, 2015 That's the thing that I'm holding out hope for Telkanaru. Â I really want to be a short timer at my current job. Â
Chiqui74 Posted February 2, 2015 Posted February 2, 2015 My job is OK most of the time, but I hate it on days like today.
Heimat Historian Posted February 2, 2015 Posted February 2, 2015 The thing is, it's just not what I want to be doing, so it's constantly a struggle. ashiepoo72 1
Chiqui74 Posted February 2, 2015 Posted February 2, 2015 It's not what I want to do forever, for sure, but it pays decently enough and the benefits are great. If I don't get into any of the schools, I'll start looking for a new job, hopefully in the same organization.
Chiqui74 Posted February 2, 2015 Posted February 2, 2015 I'm a paper pusher in a very small department of a very large organization. I have an assistant who is OK (I can boss her around), and a boss who is a bit of a diva. Someday I think "hey, this is not so bad!" and other days I want to run for the hills, today especially. It doesn't help that I'm so freaking anxious about the PhD applications. Heimat Historian and JTE 2
ellebe Posted February 2, 2015 Posted February 2, 2015 Sigh. I was an editor managing travel and fitness content for big international brands. Left and went freelance, which was great for the application period (mad flexibility). Now I've spent a full month applying for jobs and hearing nothing except the odd rejection. I know it's likely down to visa issues (I can only work in the UK for one more year) and a tough economy, but it doesn't always put you in the best mindset for waiting out acceptances. This is why support networks (i.e. you guys) are awesome.Â
ashiepoo72 Posted February 2, 2015 Posted February 2, 2015 Sorry you have to deal with that Chiqui. It seems other forces in our lives can't calm down while we wait out applications. I'm sure you'll find something ellebe!
IvanBezdomnii Posted February 2, 2015 Posted February 2, 2015 Seems like a slow day thus far, as far as decisions go anyway.
ToomuchLes Posted February 2, 2015 Posted February 2, 2015 F5... (3 minutes later) F5...  Hmm... maybe if I refresh my email faster, then I'll receive a response quicker. Chiqui74 1
Heimat Historian Posted February 2, 2015 Posted February 2, 2015 I know exactly what you mean LeventeL!  I can't refresh enough.  I agree it's been quite slow for history acceptances today, Ivan.Â
