Graduate School Admission Results

MA in history with GPA 4.0, MA thesis won award, shortlisted for another, awarded a small research fellowship, two publications in non-English language.

Stoked! Got accepted without an interview or a masters degree. I'm 36 and have worked as a freelance journalist and a documentary filmmaker for the last 10 years.

Finally!!!

I was told offers have been made and put on a waitlist. Please if you have an offer and this is not your first choice, please kindly let go so people on the waitlist can be given admission

For the Mst program. Applied to both the Mst and the Mphil

GPA is for MA degree.

Former chemistry undergrad who took philosophy courses as a non-degree student. Honestly flabbergasted that I'm still in the running. If you've been accepted to HPS and are still planning to accept an offer, please let them know! I hardly even thought Pitt was a possibility for me, let alone a school I have an appreciable chance to attend.

Ignore waitlist. Has anyone heard news from Penn State?

Emailed program & received response within one day. Excerpt here: "This has been a particularly difficult year for admissions, for many reasons. I am sorry that our system has not yet sent out letters, but I can confirm that you were not shortlisted in our admissions committee process."
