Out of the seven graduate schools I have applied to I still have not heard from the one I want to go to the most. Is this a good or bad thing? (PhD program in History)

I know how you feel--I'm waiting to hear back from a few grad schools too (PhD in Neuroscience). It's good in the respect that you were at least being considered. If it was absolutely a NO, you probably would have heard by now. I would recommend giving the departmental secretary a call, that's what I did, and just ask when they will be contacting students with admissions decisions. You don't even have to ask about yourself specifically, and you will usually get a satisfactory answer. It shows you're interested in the school to give them a call. Hey, might as well...nothing to lose.

So good or bad? Well it's not bad. I know a few Masters programs I applied to aren't even reveiwing until this week, so you never know.

You will probably hear from them soon. One of my friends heard from one of her schools less than a week ago. I think that we know some other people who are still waiting to hear from schools. These are also PhD programs in history.

It's neither bad nor good. Maybe they're just taking some time going through each application because I'm pretty sure A LOT of students have applied....so it'll take them a while. But if you're impatient, then try calling them and speak to them politely because they know that you really want to be accepted so maybe they make take that into consideration?

Well, Good luck!!! Hope you get in!

Are you supposed to? Not every school's date for sending out responses has happened yet.

Usually, a school has a link or phone number for you to check on the status of your application.
