Heimat Historian Posted February 13, 2015 Share Posted February 13, 2015 (edited) Oh boy. George Washington's on my list too. Â As someone said before, no whammy!

gsc Posted February 13, 2015 Share 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 Share Posted February 13, 2015 That's good to here girlscoutcookies.  Iowa is very high on my list, because a professor there works on almost exactly what I want to do.  He did tell me, unfortunately, that we is not on the adcomm.  sad trombone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KBHistorian Posted February 13, 2015 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heimat Historian Posted February 13, 2015 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ToomuchLes Posted February 13, 2015 Share 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!

Chiqui74 Posted February 13, 2015 Share 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, ashiepoo72 and Aubstopper 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ellebe Posted February 13, 2015 Share 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.

Anna Leigh Posted February 13, 2015 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heimat Historian Posted February 13, 2015 Share Posted February 13, 2015 Fridays have been somewhat slow this cycle, especially the mornings.  Though if I recall, there's usually a flurry of activity late afternoon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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

dr. t Posted February 13, 2015 Author Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
