Graduate School Admission Results

DGS email, its a new bridge program so I expected it, not too upset

I was informed by DGS that I won't get an offer. A 3.92 undergraduate GPA from a very rigorous European undergraduate program. Currently attending a prestigious MA program in Europe (gPA: 4/4). 6 years of Latin, 4 years of Ancient Greek. Fluency in German and French, 3 important conference presentations, 3 publications, out of which one is in an international collection of papers.

Will choose a US PhD due to funding. 2a/1w/1i/1r/2p

40% tuition remission

Not really surprised. Poor fit for the department considering my research interests. Still kind of stings though. 1a/1i/2r/6p.

I noticed that nobody posted any updates on Michigan but people are asking in the forum, so here's the scoop (esp. for language and literature track). I got interviewed in late January and was contacted directly by the DGS about my acceptance a few days later.

0a/0w/2i/2r/4p. UC Berkeley was my last pick and probably my worst research fit, so I'm not terribly surprised or disappointed. I also knew to expect rejection after I saw other people post on here that they had been interviewed for the program, since they didn't ask to interview me. I haven't heard any good news yet, but I'm hoping that one or both of the programs that interviewed me will make me an offer of admission soon.

contacted 2/5 via email. invite to three-day Zoom recruiting event. my top program!! :) 1a/0w/2i/1r/1p

Accepted with funding

Emailed by grad advisor about (informal) acceptance; official acceptance will be coming soon from school

Already got offers from two top programs, so it didn't bother me. I do want to say though that UChicago was the only program I applied to that didn't ask for a personal statement (only SoP). I was tbh a little shocked about this because it struck me as being disinterested in my personal background which had played quite a formative role in my becoming a classicist. This uninviting impression is only subjective, of course. Nonetheless, I do hope my other future colleagues who are eagerly waiting for results from UChicago can take heart if you didn't get an automated "check your portal" notification ;P!

Disappointed but not totally surprised :( 1a/0w/1i/1r/2p
