News From Brown University Joint Program in Ancient History

[RedViper]

Hello Everybody! Hope you don't mind me dropping in.

I'm an applicant to the Classics PHD program at Brown. I saw that there was a couple of people who had heard back from Brown's history department. 

Has anybody here heard anything from their Joint program in Ancient History?

I know that the Classics department and the History department at Brown work on that program together. And there hasn't been any news at all from the Classics Department, neither in the Forums or the search results page.

So I was wondering if anyone her has applied to the ancient history program, or has heard anything from the ancient history program? Since there has been no information from the Classics department, I was wondering if there were any applicants that might have heard anything from the ancient history program at Brown. I figure that this was the closest I could get to hearing some news about the Classics department, since these two departments work on the ancient history program together.

I don't think anyone here who's claimed a Brown acceptance is working on the Ancients . Sorry!

Oh, ok then.

Thanks so much for your help!

Do you have a POI or other contact you could email?

I do, but I am not sure if I should email him. I don't want to look presumptuous or overeager or anything like that.

I also don't want to breach protocol, if that can be taken as a breach of protocol or something.

Has anyone else in the History applicants emailed their POI ahead of time? If I do send that email, what should I say? How do I word my question?

You could call the department secretary or the DGS and ask when decisions will come out.
