I guess you could always use that as a resume bullet for an application to work at BuzzFeed if you need to make some beer money on your way to a PhD. scrivere and Neist 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Feel free to PM me with any questions about surviving and thriving in the BuckeyeLand As surreal as it feels to type this, I'm one of the OSU admits. I checked their website right after CvC1780 posted that prediction, and I'm beyond ecstatic! I come from a little-known undergrad institution, so I did not have high hopes of being admitted into any PhD programs, but have actually been nominated for a university fellowship. Maybe this will be reassuring to people who (like me) have been underestimating their chances because they went to a less prestigious school. Good luck to everyone else who is still waiting! twVincentChen, ashiepoo72 and insidethesun 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ashiepoo72 Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 OSU sends acceptances in waves (fellowship nominees then people funded by TAships), so for applicants who haven't heard anything, don't freak out! I was wait listed for funding at OSU and didn't hear back until mid-March. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tipmar Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 Can anyone claim the UCSD interviews? were these "official" ones (in the sense that I should go into "shit, I didn't get one" mode), or more like an initiative by a specific POI? Yes, I realize this might be an unanswerable question but, well, I am proudly succumbing to my obsessive and counter-productive impulses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was for a very specific subfield by my POI. I don't think you should go into panic mode yet. I'm not sure a shortlist has been made (I certainly wasn't given an offer yet!) by the department.

L13 Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 No idea if this is the case at UCSD, but history of science programs (and occasionally ancient history ones) tend to run their admission process separately from the history department. fencergirl 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would actually be in history, not history of science (just a science studies emphasis). But yes, usually that's the case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ive done some work on the history of US wildfire management, BLM (USBR) from Powell to present and of course I enjoy Muir/Leopold/etc. I also enjoy trying to incorporate a systems approach and like to think about the pedagogy involved. @nevermind I am gearing up to apply this fall so have been making lists and reaching out to POIs. I am happy to talk about the possibles/strong possibles but it is probably premature until I get the rest of the feedback from POIs. I will probably keep the apps in the 5-10 range. I would be curious to hear where you are applying. I'm applying to environmental history programs, and have somewhat of an interest in the history of wildfire management on public lands. I was a wildland firefighter for about 8 years, so it is more than simply an academic interest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
