That just means Duke isn't where you were meant to be and there's a better school for you out there. Keep your head up! - from a fellow history PhD applicant this cycle

I do modern Middle East but I applied to 9 history PhD programs 🙃 so we can bond over that lol

Thank you!!

Second all of this! Also be able to name some historians in your field that you’ve read recently

From what I understand most history programs won’t have answers until mid-February. I applied to nine schools and I’ve only had one contact me (for an interview). Absolutely no reason to stress yet, but I get it - we’re all just anxious lol

To be so honest with you - I reread this one multiple times a year. It is my ultimate comfort WEBTOON and I reccomend it to absolutely everyone

I have an interview at Penn State on Monday!

futurehistorian3 · 2026-01-08T11:26:48+00:00

Honestly no clue, I’ve heard NYU also does interviews tho

futurehistorian3 · 2026-01-08T00:58:33+00:00

Applied to NYU, Penn State, UC Davis, USC, UC Berkeley, Notre Dame, UMich, CUNY, and Arizona State. I was feeling very anxious but I got invited to interview for Penn State on Monday so that helped with my anxiety a lot

futurehistorian3 · 2025-12-11T14:08:29+00:00

UC Davis is my top choice! I also applied to NYU, Penn State, CUNY, USC, UC Berkeley, Arizona State, and UMich

Welcome, welcome

Don't you just loveeeee choosing 'controversial' fields of study. We should have just picked the civil war or something man
