Heimat Historian Posted February 13, 2015 Posted February 13, 2015 (edited) Oh boy. George Washington's on my list too. Â As someone said before, no whammy! Â Also, congratulations Telkanuru Edited February 13, 2015 by Heimat Historian SunshineLolipops 1
gsc Posted February 13, 2015 Posted February 13, 2015 (edited) Realistically I'm not sure any of my schools will announce today. Maybe Rice.  I know you're waiting on Iowa -- I'm fairly sure that Iowa sends out all their PhD acceptances at once, not in waves like some other state schools. The way it works (from what I understand) is that the ad-com meets, quickly decides who they want to nominate for funding from the graduate college, and then waits to hear back on that before making any more final decisions. So if you (or anyone else waiting on Iowa) haven't heard, I wouldn't say it means anything one way or the other at this point.   Just got an informal email from my POI at OSU letting me know I was accepted, pending final university approval!  Congratulations!!

Heimat Historian Posted February 13, 2015 Posted February 13, 2015 That's good to here girlscoutcookies. Â Iowa is very high on my list, because a professor there works on almost exactly what I want to do. Â He did tell me, unfortunately, that we is not on the adcomm. Â sad trombone.Â
KBHistorian Posted February 13, 2015 Posted February 13, 2015 Oh boy. George Washington's on my list too. As someone said before, no whammy! Also, congratulations Telkanuru I hope you hear good news!! For GWU it was my first grad school application, which means I hadn't truly perfected my sop by that point. I'm not surprised lol Fingers crossed everyone hears good news today
Heimat Historian Posted February 13, 2015 Posted February 13, 2015 That was a tough one too in that it was 500 words or less if I recall. I really had to trim mine to get it in under that.Â
KBHistorian Posted February 13, 2015 Posted February 13, 2015 That was a tough one too in that it was 500 words or less if I recall. I really had to trim mine to get it in under that. Yeah that was difficult! Did you apply for history or like museum studies?
Chiqui74 Posted February 13, 2015 Posted February 13, 2015 Just got an informal email from my POI at OSU letting me know I was accepted, pending final university approval! Congrats!
Heimat Historian Posted February 13, 2015 Posted February 13, 2015 I applied for history, KB. Â Also, sent you a message.Â
ToomuchLes Posted February 13, 2015 Posted February 13, 2015 (edited) Realistically I'm not sure any of my schools will announce today. Maybe Rice. Not to lower expectations (since I too am waiting for Rice), but I believe we'll definitely hear back sometime next week. Its still alittle early for UT-Austin (idk if they follow a similar schedule as UT-Arlington) and Rice.  Congrats Telkanuru! Edited February 13, 2015 by LeventeL
Chiqui74 Posted February 13, 2015 Posted February 13, 2015 I just finished a project at work that was taking way too much of my time, which means I wasn't giving the project or obsessively checking app statuses my undivided attention Heimat Historian, Aubstopper and ashiepoo72 3
ellebe Posted February 13, 2015 Posted February 13, 2015 Congrats Telkanuru!!! Â Right guys, I have a good feeling about today. I got a couple of restaurant review commissions, two job interviews and an email from a headhunter. Things are finally looking up, and I think this calls for a round of acceptances to really push it over the edge. Heimat Historian and JTE 2
Anna Leigh Posted February 13, 2015 Posted February 13, 2015 Good luck to everyone today! I hope we hear back from some more schools! Is anyone else surprised that it's already lunchtime on the East coast and not much activity yet??  I figured that Vandy for sure would release today.Â
Heimat Historian Posted February 13, 2015 Posted February 13, 2015 Fridays have been somewhat slow this cycle, especially the mornings. Â Though if I recall, there's usually a flurry of activity late afternoon.Â
kblooms Posted February 13, 2015 Posted February 13, 2015 Yeah I thought there would be more news by now
SunshineLolipops Posted February 13, 2015 Posted February 13, 2015 C'mon admissions committees. Â It's Friday the 13th. Â Make it interesting. Â Just tell me SOMETHING!!! Magellan1521, Heimat Historian and ashiepoo72 3
Josh J. Posted February 13, 2015 Posted February 13, 2015 Good luck to everyone today! I hope we hear back from some more schools! Is anyone else surprised that it's already lunchtime on the East coast and not much activity yet?? I figured that Vandy for sure would release today. Anna Leigh, I thought so too, though I've heard from two people now that the Vandy history department is fighting for an additional slot with the Graduate School before sending out admits. Did you apply to Vandy? If so, what field?
PD33 Posted February 13, 2015 Posted February 13, 2015 I've been lurking this thread, but I HAVE to post now because I might, seriously, be losing my mind at this point. Aaaaaarrrrrrggggghhhhhh!!!!!
dr. t Posted February 13, 2015 Author Posted February 13, 2015 FYI, I was just told that Harvard admits are pending final university approval, and if you haven't heard, that's probably a no. kblooms and L13 2
greengoose Posted February 13, 2015 Posted February 13, 2015 telkanuru, I'm assuming that's just for the history department -- any insider info for history of science?
dr. t Posted February 13, 2015 Author Posted February 13, 2015 telkanuru, I'm assuming that's just for the history department -- any insider info for history of science? Â Yeah, and no, I have no contacts that way.

Did you apply to Vandy? If so, what field? Â I've been lurking on here for a little bit, but now have to speak too. I'm waiting on Vandy as well. What are your fields Josh and Anna?
Josh J. Posted February 13, 2015 Posted February 13, 2015 I've been lurking on here for a little bit, but now have to speak too. I'm waiting on Vandy as well. What are your fields Josh and Anna? My field is US, specifically American Religion.
