Anna Leigh Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 My mind is about to EXPLODE. I just got an email saying that I was accidentally rejected for the museum studies for GWU when I've actually been accepted!! I have to lie down or throw up now...... Â WOW congrats KBHistorian! I felt my stomach flip for you when I read that. How crazy. Hoping that today is a great day for acceptances!! JTE 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anna Leigh Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 Thanks JTE! I have a good feeling about today and tomorrow... since this is already the 3rd week in February I feel like a bunch of schools will hopefully try to release decisions by the weekend... hoping we all get some more good news to report soon, and some more green to highlight school names in our signatures!!

Vr4douche Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 I got a letter like that when I applied for undergraduate at UofT. I applied for a program for non-highschool grads to get in...they originally wrote that I am not qualified and have rejected me. A week later I got a letter saying that they meant to say that based on my essay etc. I am over qualified for the program and will support my full entrance to the university. Needless to say it was troubling at the time but it is comical now. Just be thankful they noticed the mistake! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdlsutton Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 Hey KB Historian, I just got an email from the DGS at NCSU saying I'd been waitlisted for funding...which is a bummer, because I probably won't be able to attend unless I get funding....but hopefully you'll hear a decision soon! Â On a more positive note, I got accepted into Texas Tech yesterday and they offered me a TAship for 13k/yr along with partial tuition and fees waived! Â I'm really glad I heard about that first, it helped to offset the news today. Heimat Historian 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ToomuchLes Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 I got an email from the DGS at IU. He said decisions will be made in the next few weeks, so we (IU applicants) shouldnt hold our breaths for a response this week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heimat Historian Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 This must be the second round of IU as I was rejected last week. Â Good luck to the two of you (and others who haven't heard yet) It's nice to know you're both still in the running! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stillalivetui Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 Supposedly the committee is still making decisions and should be done by the end of the month at IU. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aubstopper Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 Aubstopper, that's awesome! Always nice to meet a birthday buddy. But I totally understand your position, I also underestimated the importance of all of this and the likelihood of rejection. I went into this process overly confident, and now I'm probably over compensating for that confidence with fear of not being admitted anywhere. I also would have applied to more places and contacted more POI directly, while I made some direct contacts I didn't make enough and underestimated the importance of that contact. Oh well, c'est la vie. I still have hope I'll make it in somewhere, but am also coming to terms with the prospect of not. If I don't, there's always next cycle. JTE 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tingdeh Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 Anyone else still waiting on Toronto? They're taking a strangely long time to reply to PhD applicants...by last year's record, they should have responded by last week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JTE Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 I understand what you're saying, Aubstopper. I'm not sure I've ever felt this vulnerable in my life, and I suppose I got hit hard with a case of imposter syndrome about a week ago, reaching its apex after receiving the Duke rejection. I find myself second guessing every decision I made during the application process, but I think it's starting to subside. As you suggested, I've started to realize how many other people have yet to hear from programs and that all it takes is one school to send an acceptance. We'll see what happens. Sorry about Princeton. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SunshineLolipops Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 I saw I had an email... Subject line said "Department of History"....... My heart skips a beat as I open it........... It was an email from SE Missouri State's public history program that I did not apply to, and who clearly just bought my info from the College Board. You're killing me Smalls. That's a solid post about fit Aubstopper, and good luck today everyone! Magellan1521 and Aubstopper 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
