It's actually around 9pm here in my country, but I converted it to EST timezone just to make it sound more dramatic lol. Let's hope that there will be good news when we wake up!

praxis34 Posted February 14, 2018 Share Posted February 14, 2018 +1 Harvard rejection. After seeing the acceptances last week, I am not surprised at all. I didn't enter to the survey but I was informally interviewed (or rather say asked my top school) in early January. I had been in contact with my POI for a very long time. I am writing this to remind once more that don't believe anything until you see the official letter, which I think is one of the most repeated and wisest messages I've encountered in this forum so far.

astroid88 Posted February 14, 2018 Share Posted February 14, 2018 All quiet on the western front. In the east, however, there is movement with Georgetown. nerdbird and Pacifist101 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was that your posting on the results or did you just hear something through the grapevine? This is nerve-wracking since I think this is my last chance this year.

andnothing Posted February 14, 2018 Share Posted February 14, 2018 I still have not heard anything except the rejection from University of Oregon so I'm taking that as a bad sign. The other schools I applied to have already sent out some acceptances. Now it's just waiting for the rejections to roll in. Maybe a bit premature, but I have pretty much accepted the fact that I will have to try again next application cycle. I think I will spend this year working towards strengthening my application. Retaking the GRE, improving my German, and narrowing down my research interests even more are going to be my top priorities. grubyczarnykot 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
idoitchicagostyle Posted February 14, 2018 Share Posted February 14, 2018 Been suspecting Harvard was seeing some other people else. Last week, I saw some posts about Harvard proposing to someone already! How dare you, Harvard! Today, I got the classic "its me, not you" letter from H, which confirmed my greatest fear. What a way to break up on Valentine's Day. Thanks, Harvard. TheHessianHistorian, worldpeasplease and gnossienne n.3 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now it is time to start the hunt for funding! A general note about the UK, decisions are starting to go out, but most will appear in March. Congrats. May you have the enviable position in deciding which side of the pond to do your doctorate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Basura Posted February 14, 2018 Share Posted February 14, 2018 @ltr317 Just wanted to update you on the CUNY situation. I've had my interview and plan to visit in March. I should have a yes or no for them by 3/20 at the very latest and possibly well before then depending on if/where I get acceptances to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't mean to pry; just asking because I also applied to UChicago's MAPSS and haven't heard anything in terms of good or bad news. Oh no, I'm still in undergrad. I'm applying next year.

Either that or @kenalyass took "Application Season" to mean the time when they would be submitting their applications (as opposed to the enrollment season that they would be applying for), and has picked out their schools really, really early...
