- Got a tremendously kind email from the Graduate Director letting me know I was high on the waitlist, but the deadline for first-choice candidates passed on 4/15, meaning I was officially rejected. Insane that it took so long for them to reach out, but the Director informed me that the department was only permitted to admit SEVEN students, and it was the highest pool of applicants the History Department had ever had there. He complimented my research work and dossier and encouraged me to apply next year. Rough application year, but good lord does it feel good just to be waitlisted from Cornell.
