University Of Chicago Graduate School Admission Results

To the one below who asked my program, it's History of Christianity. And yes, I'm still thrilled.

I just wanted to ask the person with the note "YES!!! Only fifty percent off tuition, but still, so thrilled." What is your exact area of study?

Just in case someone has not checked their email, Harris will be releasing decisions between the 18th and 22nd.

Letters are being mailed today; some applicants will receive e-mail.

I applied for the History Ph.D. program with a concentration on the Middle East but didn't make the cut. They sent my application to the Center for Middle Eastern Studies and I got accepted to their 2 year M.A. program with half tuition funding ($22,284/year). It's a consolation M.A., but I sure am consoled by the offer! :D I'll decline soon because I have a full funding Ph.D. offer elsewhere.

I emailed a professor I have worked with at Chicago and asked about my application status. He told me I was not accepted and that the competition was particularly fierce, so the primary focus of the applicants was the amount of years in the ancient languages. Good luck to the other applicants!

A prof of mine who attended the Committee said they were only going to make 4 or 5 offers this year (despite the usual ~150 applicants). Hence, the rejection came as little surprise, though a disappointment nevertheless. Great program.

E-mail from Prof. Laden. 15.6k, 5yr TA-ship.
