Email to check portal. Sucks because I thought the interviews, and even the language tests, went quite well; but definitely didn't do as well as I wanted to on the presentation. Sucks because I thought it would have also been the best fit. Alas...

Not surprised tbh lol Congrats and best of luck to everyone who got in

Check the portal

Did not take the GRE

I've already accepted that a PhD is just not in the cards for me; I've already decided to leave academia. It's a bummer though, because I have multiple publications and conferences and was kinda banking on a PhD for such a long time lol. Not overly upset about this. 0a/10r/0w/2p

Are Princeton and Chicago results likely this week?

Portal, no email

Thank you for applying to Princeton University's Graduate School for the 2024-25 academic year. While I assure you that the materials you submitted were carefully reviewed by the faculty in the Department of Near Eastern Studies, I regret to inform you the department did not recommend your admission for the upcoming academic year. The number of admission offers available at Princeton for entering graduate students is extremely limited, and we cannot offer admission to all applicants who are well qualified. Indeed, many departments have applicants who could be admitted if it were possible to accommodate additional students. Our decisions take into account not only the applicants' merits but also the suitability of the programs to the candidates' expressed interests. Our goal is to achieve a sound match between the strengths of our programs and the interests of the relatively small number of outstanding students that can be accommodated. Unfortunately, due to the volume of applications which we receive, it is not possible for the department or the Graduate School to go back and review applications to justify the denial or offer advice on fortifying a future application. I wish you success in your plans for graduate study and thank you for considering Princeton University.
