angesradieux Posted January 25, 2017 Posted January 25, 2017 I feel like I'm slowly losing my sanity. Anyone else waking up and ridiculous hours and lunging for the phone to check e-mails? The waiting might just kill me.

First school to hear from this application cycle: University Nebraska Lincoln, M.A. program. Got the email from my POI personally and then an email from the department minutes later. Waiting for a formal letter with funding info. I applied to 6 M.A. programs and 2 M.A./Ph.D. programs. Literally so excited and happy. Congrats!

I am overseas and most of the US business day happens while I should be asleep. Twice in the last week I've woken up at 4am to emails from POIs, which I know is a good thing but STILL, it is leading to totally erratic sleeping patterns. Edited January 25, 2017 by OHSP

I feel you. Once my German classes were over and I was on my own, I changed my entire sleep cycle to EST. OHSP 1

I don't even have the excuse of being abroad. I'll randomly wake up at like 4 or 5, and even though I know emails are sent out during business hours and nothing significant will have arrived, I still feel compelled to check my phone. I may have become just a little bit deranged over this whole thing.

In the middle of the night I received a request for a skype interview and I immediately replied to say, yes, I could make that time and date. Then, in daylight, I realised I'd agreed to be interviewed at 3am my time. I emailed them again. Fun times. Edited January 25, 2017 by OHSP

Here's to hoping for 7 more yeses...
EricaMac Posted January 25, 2017 Posted January 25, 2017 I can't sit here and keep checking and re-checking my email, cause it'll just drive me crazy. I want this so bad I can taste it, but I have enough that drives me crazy without adding the constant "refresh" to that pile.

I didn't check my phone when it buzzed for the email because I figured it was just another false alarm.

I received the "we made a decision and it has been sent to the graduate school for review" email two days ago, but I have not heard anything from them since. Nervous energy abounds!
curiousnotlost Posted January 25, 2017 Posted January 25, 2017 Late post here...sorry! I have received acceptances from Michigan State (1/23) and UNL (1/24), both PhD programs. Hopefully this is some assistance for those who are waiting. Best of luck to you all. YoegiBear and Neist 2

french_historynerd Posted January 25, 2017 Posted January 25, 2017 I just also received an informal acceptance from NMSU for their M.A. program and an offer of a 20/hr week Assistantship. Literally, I can not believe how well this week is going. I was not expecting to hear anything until Feb-March for every program I applied to. Praise the History Gods! Neist 1
Neist Posted January 25, 2017 Posted January 25, 2017 Congrats to whoever received an interview for HASTS@MIT. It's a pretty difficult program to get into. I wish the best of luck to you, whoever you are.
praxis34 Posted January 25, 2017 Posted January 25, 2017 Hey guys! Few hours ago I had a short conversation (over phone) with my POI at Stanford about my application. It was more about my proposal and methodological issues. General tone was encouraging and supportive but he did not mean that the department finalized its decisions and the call does not imply anything for sure. My impression is that probably all sub-fields are very close to decide on the names to be sent to the admission committee, or something like that. It seems they are going to release the decisions in two or three weeks at most, which is consistent with the previous years. viridian 1
Lediona Shahollari Posted January 26, 2017 Posted January 26, 2017 Hello everyone! Congratulations to those who have been accepted! I haven't received any emails of acceptances or rejects yet. This waiting process is causing me so much anguish!! Trying to keep myself busy and have a positive mindset.
AP Posted January 26, 2017 Posted January 26, 2017 Congrats to all this acceptances. For those of you who did not receive anything yet, hang in there!

angesradieux Posted January 26, 2017 Posted January 26, 2017 Congrats. I haven't heard yet. Wonder if this means I'm not getting in...
