ScreamingHairyArmadillo Posted January 11, 2010 Share Posted January 11, 2010 Just letting you know I have a friend who met a history professor at the recent AHA meeting, and they said they will be reviewing applications in 2 weeks. I assume everyone likes to know every bit of information possible (esp. if you're waiting on any rogue LORs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sparky Posted January 11, 2010 Share Posted January 11, 2010 That is really nice of you! I wish we had that type of info for all of the schools/programs. There is some info on a few schools on the 2009 threads, or at least, the religion one. You could try going through the 08/09 history ones. I'm assuming this year the timetable will be the same or similar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Encomendero Posted February 3, 2010 Share Posted February 3, 2010 I have been hearing things of late. The Fellowship applicants have been sent out and each field has made a list of their remaining prospects. The final decisions should be made next week or so. However, the Fellowship deadline is Feb 20 so it might be longer for those not in that category. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
earlymodernist Posted February 16, 2010 Share Posted February 16, 2010 Hey there.... Not to be the bearer of bad news, but from an inside source I have heard that OSU has SIGNIFICANTLY cut back on their graduate program this year. I have already received notification of my rejection from an e-mail (my potential advisor who was previously accepting applicants, can no longer accept due to budgetary restrictions). They are only accepting a few students (I don't know how many) but yeah...just lettin you know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Encomendero Posted February 16, 2010 Share Posted February 16, 2010 They have been saying that for years. A shame it is happening this year. Still, the main committee has not met yet to decide the fate of non-fellowship students... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

earlymodernist Posted February 16, 2010 Share Posted February 16, 2010 Who were you trying to work with? Dr. Cressy and Dr. Parker...here's what it said in my notification (via a professor I know). I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but I just heard back form David Cressy yesterday. He said that, because of severe budget cuts by the state gov't at Columbus to all Ohio state universities, the history dept. at OSU is accepting almost no new grad students into its program for the fall 2010 term. He added that this enrollment freeze was partly due to the impending retiremrent of several senior faculty members in history, inlcuding himself and Geoffrey Parker in early modern Europe, which would make it difficult for students working with these professors to complete their degrees. Sooooo, I fear the Ph.D. progam at OSU will not be your destination next fall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
