ClassicsCandidate Posted February 28, 2018 Posted February 28, 2018 I just saw the e-mail that I was accepted into Villanova for the MA program! I withdrew my UGA application so that I could get started on all of the things I need to prepare for Villanova. I didn't manage to secure the funding for it since there were so many applicants, but the head of the department sent me a list of other funding opportunities through the school that I could apply to; a lot of them are due tomorrow, so I guess I know what I'm doing tonight! I'm super excited now and feel like a lot of weight has been lifted! I hope more people hear from schools they're waiting for soon! rheya19, Talmid and Marcus_Aurelius 2 1

Pig With Wings Posted March 1, 2018 Posted March 1, 2018 Re the Harvard rejection, when did it come, and how were you informed? Sorry to hear about your bad luck
Pig With Wings Posted March 2, 2018 Posted March 2, 2018 I hope they're not staggering their rejections... If anyone else applied to Harvard, please share what you know!

I applied to Harvard and did not hear anything yet. I suppose I’ll receive a rejection soon though since I was not interviewed.
Pig With Wings Posted March 2, 2018 Posted March 2, 2018 All the Princeton rejections are pouring in, but I wonder why there's only one report for Harvard... Is it even genuine? This is driving me crazy!
Catalystica Posted March 5, 2018 Posted March 5, 2018 Has anyone heard from University of Georgia's MA program?
Passer Posted March 5, 2018 Posted March 5, 2018 does anyone have any advice on how to email a department to ask about decision notifications?

Hi, I simply asked either the person that contacted me (a faculty member, or a staff member) or the coordinators of graduate studies when should I expect decisions to be sent.
aigilipos Posted March 8, 2018 Posted March 8, 2018 Congrats to the UGA MA admit! Let me know if you have any questions about the program or Athens, and I'm happy to tell you all about it. Has anybody gotten good news recently? I'm still waiting on a handful of schools.
ARG92 Posted March 8, 2018 Posted March 8, 2018 Hi all, has anyone heard from Columbia about Classics ?

Since I already have admissions from other institutes and want to plan visits in the area, I contacted them today. I'll let you know if they had any useful information.

I'm really excited to start; I just have to wait for all the other administrative stuff to get taken care of and make sure I focus on my final semester right now as well!

It took me over 50 applications before I got one last time (from Mensa, oddly enough), and now I'm going to try and do a lot of essays in the summer between my programs ending and starting! I hope everyone is getting some good news soon!

If things don't end up working out for you this time, I think you should try again next year and just apply to a lot more schools. I think you said you were first at Saint Andrews. It's understandable why you'd think this would be enough to put you in the running (and honestly, I think it should be), but for some reason it may not be. It's just that competitive, and they aren't just looking for raw intelligence or raw academic achievement (although I kind of think they should be). I had finished apps for ten schools, and I messaged my best friend and said, "I've completed apps for ten schools, and I really don't want to do anymore. Do I have to apply to X school? I don't think it's even a match for my research interests." And she said "no, you don't." And then I said, "well, the weather seems great in that city, so I guess I'll just apply." It was the only funded PhD offer I got. I accepted and I am quite happy. I've heard similar stories from friends about regular job applications. You may be awesome but you need to give yourself "luck" by applying to a bunch of places. Just my two cents. I hope you hear something good this round and don't need my advice Withnail 1
ClassicsCandidate Posted June 21, 2018 Posted June 21, 2018 Hello all, again! I hope more people got good news while I wasn't floating around as much. I just got an e-mail that I made it in for full-tuition funding for my M.A. at Villanova, so I suppose I was just at the cut off for the funding! So that's my good news. I hope everyone is ready and excited to start the new semester!
