Congrats Dahweh! This is awesome news! Hopefully you'll hear good news from the rest. 

 

Thanks very much!  A long and hard-fought battle.  I hope that everyone on this thread hears good news soon.

This is wonderful news!  But given that you have heard from UCLA already, I am guessing that they have sent out all of their acceptances.  Do you think that is likely?   I'm hoping that the remaining decisions come quickly, so we can all get on with it and figure things out already!

I'm not sure if they've sent out all the acceptances. I just got an email but my status on the UCLA application hasn't changed.

Hey all, I got accepted to the PhD program at UCLA (NELC - Arabic). I'm really grateful for this as this was one of my top choices. Does anyone else here plan on going to UCLA? 

Congratulations!

That's wonderful! It must be a relief to receive an admission from your top choice:-)

I had applied to UCLA as well, but have not heard anything. Did you hear from them today?

Has anyone heard back from Emory ICIVS?

Thanks! No, I heard from them last week. What's your sub field? I'm guessing that not all sub fields have sent notifications yet.

Is anyone on this thread going to Chicago (NELC or Divinity School) or UT-Austin for HB/ANE?   It would be nice to talk about the programs, as I will almost certainly be going to one of these two.  

Thanks : )

Accepted to NYU in Hebrew Bible! I will probably accept the offer unless something astronomical happens.

Mine is Persian Literature. I was hoping to hear from them this week, but no news so far.

Congrats! Me too: NYU – Hebrew. There is a BIGGGGG opportunity that I will take the offer. I'm the guy with ridiculously low GRE)

NYU just sent out acceptances as well

Hi everyone:)

I hope all is well.

I was wondering, for those of you who are waiting to hear from Columbia, has the status of your online application changed at all? To something like "under review" or something?

I should say that this was for the MEIS program at NYU.

I was curious if anyone else applied to Georgetown for Arabic and Islamic studies. I haven't heard anything from them so far.

Radio silence on my end as well.

 Hi there, 

I'm new here. Have you guys heard from NELC Yale? Last week I was informed that I'm on their waiting list for the PhD Assyrilogy. Does anyone here was accepted by that department? Only a few are talking about Yale in some of the forum and I'm not sure if they are talking about the Divinity School or the NELC. 

Any thoughts?

 

ps: I'm using my wife's account... That's why it says that the program is philosophy.

Thanks for the update @ibnbattuta. In other news, darn you Harvard!!!

So on my Brandeis application stage, the top now reads "Welcome (name)... Near Eastern and Judaic Studies (M.A.) / M.A." I had applied to the PhD program and have not previously noticed an "M.A." on the application page before, so I'm guessing they've probably rejected my PhD app but moved my application to the MA program, as they've done with other applicants in the past. For those of you waiting on Brandeis, it might be worth checking your application page to see if it reads "M.A." at the top.

Brandeis is posting decisions online on the application page.

I was just notified of my acceptance to Georgetown via email.

Hi guys:-)

Has anyone heard from Columbia's MESAAS?

I saw some acceptances on the results page. Does anyone happen to know their method of notification or care to share? I'm coming close to a deadline for an offer and my application doesn't seem to have changed at all.

UChicago has sent out admissions offers for the M.A. in Middle Eastern Studies. Posted in the results section.

hey:-)

I did receive an offer after my application was sent to them (I had originally applied to the PhD), but they're not funded. The first year for the MA is almost always unfunded unfortunately.
