dr. t Posted February 2, 2015 Author Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heimat Historian Posted February 2, 2015 Share 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chiqui74 Posted February 2, 2015 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heimat Historian Posted February 2, 2015 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heimat Historian Posted February 2, 2015 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chiqui74 Posted February 2, 2015 Share 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 Share 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. JTE and Heimat Historian 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ellebe Posted February 2, 2015 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ashiepoo72 Posted February 2, 2015 Share 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! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heimat Historian Posted February 2, 2015 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
