Sparky Posted March 14, 2010 Author Share Posted March 14, 2010 I just check the website and found out that I got in to Texas A&M. Does anyone know what kind of funding packages they give for PhD students? I have no idea, but - congratulations! That's really awesome! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nikki Posted March 14, 2010 Share Posted March 14, 2010 Thanks! Admission wise I've done pretty good this season, but now I'm waiting to hear about funding from the PhD programs (my only funding offer so far is from an MA program). I'm stressing because I don't want to end up with no funding... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mehist10 Posted March 14, 2010 Share Posted March 14, 2010 On NYU - I know of three people who were accepted about two weeks ago. Looks like they are just taking their sweet time to reject the rest of us... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cm125 Posted March 15, 2010 Share Posted March 15, 2010 Has anyone else applied for FLAS at Wisconsin? Any idea when they will make decisions? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tourist Posted March 15, 2010 Share Posted March 15, 2010 NYU is making me angry. They're the last school I've yet to hear from and I have to make a decision real soon. I called today and they said they're still reviewing apps (based by field) and that I will hear back from them next week at the latest. I feel like I'm pressed for time because my only admit has increased their offer, so they're kinda pushing me to give them an answer. I hope I don't come off as a pompous ass, but is anyone else in this position? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I agree that they are being super shady this year. Also, just for more info, I don't know what field you're in, but I'm in medieval and was notified a couple weeks ago that I'm waitlisted, and I know of two modern European people who have gotten in.

tourist Posted March 15, 2010 Share Posted March 15, 2010 Wow, how did you get your only admit to increase their offer?? I didn't, they just did it. It's kinda funny because they've treated me like I'm an important person. They gave me reimbursements to visit them and everything else, and it just feels kind of weird to be in this position where people genuinely care about you've studied and want to study. I usually feel half embarrassed explaining to people (outside of the education/history sphere) what I like to study and why. But I feel very grateful to be in this position right now. Don't give up guys, there's still hope. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

soleprovider14 Posted March 24, 2010 Share Posted March 24, 2010 This week brought with it a rejection at UC-Davis for a PhD and an acceptance at the University of Vermont for a MA (no word on funding yet). Still waiting on my last school, Boston College (PhD), which has not made contact with me at all during this process. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tourist Posted March 24, 2010 Share Posted March 24, 2010 I wish I were as lucky as the rest of the people who heard from NYU today, even though, sadly, they were all rejections. I've emailed them twice in 2 days asking for my status and absolutely nothing. I mean, seriously, a little bit of tact wouldn't hurt them. After all, we've paid them, if the DGS is right, as she claimed that there were over 500 applicants, $45,000+ in application fees only for history. This has irked me so much that I would think twice about attending if I got accepted. Anyway, congratulations to those who got in! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I wind up at IU with you in the fall, we can cheer each other up through stressful times by reminding how much life would suck more at NYU...

Joe Lordan Posted March 26, 2010 Share Posted March 26, 2010 So it looks like I'll be going with Northeastern's MA program/certificate in public history this fall! Is anyone else going to the program? We need to form an exclusive internet clique STAT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BCHistory Posted March 26, 2010 Share Posted March 26, 2010 A heads-up: I declined an offer from the University of South Carolina. I hadn't received funding yet, but hopefully my spot (with potential funding) will open up for somebody on the waitlist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
