ashiepoo72 Posted February 9, 2015 Posted February 9, 2015 Congrats to the Princeton acceptee! Wow is right
kblooms Posted February 9, 2015 Posted February 9, 2015 CONGRATS to the Princeton admit! Phenomenal university. Now the wait is kicked up a notch for all of us who applied there...
Josh J. Posted February 9, 2015 Posted February 9, 2015 From looking at the results, I am thinking we should start seeing UCLA trickle out admits this week... Anyone heard anything or have connections there?
JTE Posted February 9, 2015 Posted February 9, 2015 The crazy thing about this site, other than its ability to build anxiety, is how I feel like I know some of you. I find myself telling my wife stories about the people on this forum, updating her on who was accepted or rejected and where, as well as the feeling of togetherness this forum affords us. While I hate this waiting game, I'm glad I have all of you to share in the collective anxiety, paranoia, and frustration. cscruggs78, SunshineLolipops, L13 and 2 others 5
Heimat Historian Posted February 9, 2015 Posted February 9, 2015 I'll say it again:  we have a great little community here. I don't know how the other boards our, but ours is lovely. mateol and ertna 2
ashiepoo72 Posted February 9, 2015 Posted February 9, 2015 (edited) Yay gradcafe friends we are all going to be colleagues, so I'm glad we get along so well! edit: I wish I could upvote, too! I run out almost immediately after I first check this site in the morning Edited February 9, 2015 by ashiepoo72
Heimat Historian Posted February 9, 2015 Posted February 9, 2015 Congrats to the University of Chicago admit.  Great school. mateol 1
Chiqui74 Posted February 9, 2015 Posted February 9, 2015 One more acceptance!  I just heard from one of the schools that I didn't think I'd accept if I got accepted to others, but they made me a research offer that I'm finding a hard time refusing right off the bat because it's so amazing and interesting. I'm going to have to mull this one over really hard. Everyone I've spoken to at that school has been amazing. I guess choices are a good problem to have! herstorian728 and mateol 2
Heimat Historian Posted February 9, 2015 Posted February 9, 2015 Yay Chiqui. Â That's great! I hope we all get a choice.Â
Josh J. Posted February 9, 2015 Posted February 9, 2015 That's awesome, Chiqui! What do you mean by "research offer"?
SunshineLolipops Posted February 9, 2015 Posted February 9, 2015 Congratulations Chiqui! One of my professors who is ABD is at Rochester now wrapping up her dissertation and absolutely loves it.
Chiqui74 Posted February 9, 2015 Posted February 9, 2015 (edited) That's awesome, Chiqui! What do you mean by "research offer"? Offer to work on a research project with my POI (with extra pay and summer work) doing exactly the sort of research I wanted to do anyway. I'm floored. Edited February 9, 2015 by Chiqui74 cscruggs78, Heimat Historian and Fianna 3
ashiepoo72 Posted February 9, 2015 Posted February 9, 2015 Summer pay!! That's awesome! I can see why it's a hard choice. You may have some more amazing surprises in store, though. It's still early
Heimat Historian Posted February 9, 2015 Posted February 9, 2015 Summer pay is a dream come true. Â It means no summer job.Â
Aubstopper Posted February 9, 2015 Posted February 9, 2015 I've been lurking this thread for a month now and I thought I'd introduce myself. You guys are definitely the most positive and supportive that I've seen on this board--and your stories are heart-warming! My interests can be construed into history though I'm more interested in the philosophy of history, intellectual history, and some bits of social thought. My area is essentially "modern Jewish thought." I only applied to one straight-up history program at UC Davis (because the chair of the department and I have an excellent rapport/exactly the same interests), but my application hasn't been evaluated yet because of transcript delays (rawwwwrRRRRRR). I went back and forth with admins at Davis and Hebrew U (Jerusalem) for two weeks regarding Hebrew U's new policy to only do digital transcripts and Davis' unwillingness to accept an e-transcript. Finally, they've decided to accept it (after explaining my situation to my POI who lectured the admin). Now, they're saying they haven't received my community college transcripts. ARGHgfd;sgdfg Excluding that, I've had some really great feedback from all my POIs in the inquiry stage (and interviewed with all unofficially), but haven't heard anything definite yet and it's driving me craaaazy.
Heimat Historian Posted February 9, 2015 Posted February 9, 2015 That's incredibly frustrating Aubstopper. Â Welcome to the boards. Good luck on your schools.Â
Chiqui74 Posted February 9, 2015 Posted February 9, 2015 Summer pay is a dream come true.  It means no summer job. Well, I'd still have to work for him for 20 hours a week!
SunshineLolipops Posted February 9, 2015 Posted February 9, 2015 Congratulations to the St.Louis admit!
Heimat Historian Posted February 9, 2015 Posted February 9, 2015 Yeah, but that's different. You're not lifeguarding or mowing lawns. Â (People do those things for summer jobs right?)
kateosee Posted February 9, 2015 Posted February 9, 2015 I was accepted to my first and only institution this weekend (U of Michigan, American Culture). I started screaming after I got off the phone. My mom cried and my dad started telling random strangers around him. I'm first in my family to go to college. Mom is an immigrant dad is first gen. Went to a celebratory family dinner last night.
