I got an email from UCLA saying that I was awarded the Terasaki center fellowship and they offered 30k a year plus 2 year of TAship. I think i am definitely going there- the other choice is Madison but the idea of living in LA sounds way more attractive to me. Anyone who is also going to UCLA should contact me 

I was contacted by both Harvard and Yale- both programs could not offer me admission this year and put into the MA pool. Does that mean I wil probably get admitted for the master program?

Did you receive an official acceptance from the department yet? I am still waiting to hear back from UCLA so I am curious

Yeah the official acceptance letter and some external funding information attached to the email the department sent me

Myself! Have you thought at all about whether to live in grad housing or away from campus? It seems like there's not much life outside of campus. Probably this is more of a PM kind of question, though!

Congrats on your acceptance! I'm thinking on campus (and you're right, not much going on at all off campus, but you'll be extremely busy anyways), although my particular living situation is somewhat unique (I'm an older student and have a house, so I'll likely be staying there on some weekends). Get in touch with me via PM if you'd like.

Hmmm, anyone heard back from CU-Boulder? I'm seeing people post up in the results page of acceptances/rejections today. But I haven't received anything. And my status is still "Submitted."

Why do they tease me so?

Have any East Asia History people heard back from UPenn? 

Hi! I'm a Republican China person. I got the acceptance last week and an email from my POI today. From what I know they're taking up to 4 people for China/Japan/Korea.

I'm in the same boat with Yale. I think the chances are pretty good, and from what I've heard from students in the program it is a good way to build up your application for later. I'm still waiting to hear from Penn but I'm seriously considering taking their offer if it is funded.

Hi Etruscan, I'm in the same boat... been waiting and haven't heard anything.

I applied for geology/geoscience

Not sure if anyone knows the difficulty for them? 

Or anyone know when we will know :)?

You are in the history thread, bro

So I hate to sound like a broken record but do we think the UCLA admits are done? (At least for the first round?)

I don't think so. When I applied to UCLA last year, nothing ever went out all at once. I think there is still hope, so don't give up yet.

[Oliveur]

Anybody heard anything from Boston College?

Haven't heard a peep out of them. There's two acceptances on the board, but they're several weeks old now.

Insider tip: Boston College acceptances have gone out. However, at least one person has a strong competing offer, and last year people were still being admitted even after the visit day because some in the first round didn't accept. So there could be more to come.

I hope this helps.

Okay, thanks for letting me know! I'll not assume its a rejection until I get the official rejection.

I heard back a few weeks ago. My impression is that the first round of acceptances are done. Sorry

Rutgers student here! I believe our admits went out last week or the week before.

Yes, I received my acceptance about two weeks ago.

I got an acceptance from Rutgers about a week ago from DGS as well as a letter in the mail. Not sure if they're finished or not though.

As far as my inquiries have led me to believe - they are finished and there were only 9 people admitted. A very small cohort this year.

Yes, we are finished. Like I said, our admits went out last week or earlier in one big wave.

I do want to correct you on the number of admits. From what I heard from the DGS, it was more like eighteen or twenty (plus wait list offers) with the expectation around ten to twelve of them will accept. Still a small cohort, though!

Guess my sources are off, then. Perhaps their confirmation of my rejection will also prove to be faulty 

[HinH]

Is UC Davis done? I've not heard anything from them - no waitlist, rejection, nothing. It'd be nice to know one way or the other. 

[anthrostudentcyn]

broken record but: any NYU news...? I know prospective students day was this weekend.

[RamyaS]

I believe Cornell is going to speak this week?! Saw something on the results board. 

Good luck to all!

Maybe. I'm suspicious of the posting, but even if it is legitimate, we should begin to hear rejections this week.

I have my finger's crossed!
