  1. I've gotten varied responses on this subject, but I'd say do what you feel most comfortable with. For some profs I'd spoken to quite a bit I felt the desire to send a personal note so they'd be hearing the news from me, and it seemed to go over well/wasn't awkward. Idk if there's a 'right' or 'wrong' way with this sort of thing but I'm a pretty sensitive soul so I sent some emails, had some phone calls etc. - maybe excessive to some but that brought me some measure of peace. But bottom line, I don't think you 'owe' this to anyone, my goal was to communicate my gratitude and ultimately my decision.
  2. I turned down my offer from Rutgers a couple days ago - I'm a bit sad but relieved that theirs was the last one I needed to write...the process was eating away at me. Hopefully it helps someone out!
  3. I was thinking of you, but didn't want to be a weirdo and tag you in my original post, haha. Best of luck!
  4. 'Twas hard, but I officially declined my offer from the University of Michigan. I hope it helps someone on the waitlist!
  5. Yes, I signed up to be wined and dined haha. It really is difficult balancing all of this with writing my MA thesis, news that my campus is closed for the entire semester and more and more confirmed coronavirus cases in my home country. Ugh. My email inbox is busy enough with 3 programs, I can't imagine yours! Who knows, maybe Harvard ghosting you is their way of being considerate. Hopefully things fall into place one way or another.
  6. Sigh, only 2 hours?? I just got info from Rutgers for the first day, and it's a series of phone calls. While I'm certainly interested in having these conversations and asking questions it feels like much of the work is placed on applicants to prep for these 'virtual meetings'. (Like I don't already have enough scheduled phone calls at this point lol). It's totally different if one is meeting with a group instead of always one-on-one.
  7. Yup, all my remaining visits have now been canceled. Maybe it's a sign lol. I really wonder how this will impact decisions (including my own!) and waitlist movement...
  8. I just found out I'm in at Rutgers!! I am shakinggg. Also, if I wasn't already in the abyss of indecision I sure am now!
  9. Indeed! Thank you, wishing you all the best with your remaining apps!
  10. Thanks! Our mini postcolonial/Caribbean group is doing well!
  11. ? I’m in at UVA!!! Omg I found out in the middle of a 3 hour class, ha. Idk what to do with myself. My first acceptance!!
  12. Yea, one the waitlists is me, I was told they make few initial offers
  13. I've been staring at my phone for the last 15 minutes with all the feels
  14. I also uploaded the SoP as a supporting document, I figured it couldn't hurt. I submitted my app a while back and my status page has the receipt of the personal statement along with all the other supporting documents, and I am not sure it would be there otherwise - so I'd just go ahead and upload.
  15. I literally just came back on the forum to search for projected acceptance dates, haha. Thanks for feeding into my desire to lengthen the process on one hand, and shorten it on the other. I'll check out WashU!
  16. And so it begins... I was wavering on whether to apply to a Jan 1 school and I'm sure part of me is doing it to delay the anxiety that comes with the waiting phase
  17. Are official transcripts required for Rutgers? My portal says they have received my unofficial ones (that I uploaded) but not my official ones. To me that implies they want them to be sent in, but since they don't have check marks or X's it feels a bit ambiguous. Also feeling dumb thatI haven't figured it out...
