I only ended up having a day and a half to tailor my material to that school, so I did that part in a righteous hurry. Without the time to over-think "fit", though, I think I might have been more eloquent than the ones where I was trying to split the hairs of exactly why I was interested. I got an interview for that one (over in anthropology), so you never know how the circumstances of writing an application will affect anything! I dunno if I'll get admitted, but I was Super Not Expecting to even make it to an interview there. Expand @knp that is good to hear! I submitted Yale after a long semester, and a longer transatlantic flight and I was severely jetlagged. So happy for you that you got an interview with this hurried app!
knp Posted February 2, 2016 Posted February 2, 2016 Me too! I wasn't really that sure I was a good fit before the interview. After the interview, though, I love them! The only program I've applied to that's actually started to return decisions is UNC, from which I have heard nothing... No rejections have popped up on the results board yet, though. (Does anybody know if all acceptances have gone out?) But I'm pretty sure that 2-3 more of my programs will have released many/all of their decisions by next Monday, and all but Penn by next Friday! (At that interview, they said they'd most likely send out notifications in the third week of February.) Who me, nervous? What would make you say that? mvlchicago 1

I am sure the good news shall start coming in soon If you don't mind my asking, was your interview at Yale anthropology?
alain Posted February 2, 2016 Posted February 2, 2016 Did anyone else apply to Minnesota? Does anyone know much about their history department/the university/minneapolis (literally anything, I only got as far as knowing the professor I want to work with)?
knp Posted February 2, 2016 Posted February 2, 2016 @RamyaS I hope so, and for you and everybody else in this thread, too! Not at Yale, no. (And I've got nothin' on Minnesota, sorry!)
ashiepoo72 Posted February 2, 2016 Posted February 2, 2016 @alain You can PM me if you'd like. I went to Minnesota's recruitment weekend last year and very nearly accepted their offer.
prculus Posted February 3, 2016 Posted February 3, 2016 Does anyone know if Princeton interviews? I haven't seen any activity for the dept and there weren't any interviews last year (and maybe the year before that?).
kmr Posted February 3, 2016 Posted February 3, 2016 Apologies if this is repetitive, but does anybody know if Penn accepts any applicants without an interview?

Expand I certainly hope so! I've basically come to the conclusion that it varies based on field. No way to tell really.
stillalivetui Posted February 3, 2016 Posted February 3, 2016 Here's to hoping UT-Austin will continue sending invites this week.

stillalivetui Posted February 3, 2016 Posted February 3, 2016 (edited) @insidethesun It looks like they sent out all their invitations on the same day last year. It's not looking too good right now. Edited February 3, 2016 by stillalivetui

anxietygirl Posted February 3, 2016 Posted February 3, 2016 Congrats to the William and Mary applicant!!! It's such an amazing program!! I have no idea if you would know this, but did they say if they had notified everyone all ready (i.e. should I lose hope yet)? hbnj 1
dr. t Posted February 3, 2016 Posted February 3, 2016 Gimli ground his teeth. "This is a bitter end to our hope and to all our toil!" he said. "To hope, maybe, but not to toil," said Aragorn. emiliajulia, DGrayson, ashiepoo72 and 2 others 5

The person I spoke to said they were sending their recommendations to the grad school today. The official emails will be arriving this week. He didn't say anything about if I was the first or the last call, so I'm not sure but the impression he gave was that they had only concluded their final meeting recently. So there's still hope!!!!!

Josh J. Posted February 3, 2016 Posted February 3, 2016 Anyone want to claim the University of Washington admits?

alain Posted February 3, 2016 Posted February 3, 2016 Looks like Northwestern rejections are out. Pretty sad about it as I worked really hard on the application and it's my first rejection. Oh well. Here's to hoping everything else works out.
