ourfinalproblem Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 I just checked my online application and it says I've been admitted to the university. I didn't get an email letting me know, though. The only reason I even thought to check was because I got an email about applying for on-campus housing. Anyone else get in?

Rupert Pupkin Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 I pray that all of the acceptances didn't just roll over en masse. Mine still says "In Review." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ourfinalproblem Posted February 9, 2012 Author Share Posted February 9, 2012 The fact that I haven't received anything in writing yet makes me think they aren't done sending or sorting out acceptances. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

straightshooting Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 OSU's English department tends to have two rounds of admissions (plus waitlist stuff later in the season). The first, at least in the past, has been for those awarded special university fellowships. The second, then, is when general TA-ship admissions happen.

kikalique87 Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 My applicant center says there was a decision. " Congratulations! You are admitted to the university. Hoping this is not a computer error. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ourfinalproblem Posted February 9, 2012 Author Share Posted February 9, 2012 I don't think so, because I also got an email about housing (I'd checked that I might be interested in on-campus housing on the application.) I am anxious to receive some kind of written confirmation, though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unamuno Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 I applied to different department, Spanish and Portuguese, but my status still says "In Review." I heard it through the grapevine that some applicants have already been offered admission via a phone call. I have yet to have been called, nor have I received notification by mail. So I'm hoping I'm still in the running! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XianAer Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 Still in review, too. Praying hard!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kikalique87 Posted February 13, 2012 Share Posted February 13, 2012 For those of you who have a decision in your applicant center, have you heard anything yet from the department? I'm thinking about calling the graduate office on Wednesday to ask what's next in the process, especially because I've already received an enticing fellowship offer from another school.

Lyrus Posted February 13, 2012 Share Posted February 13, 2012 I was admitted in the applicant center last week with the others, and today I received a paper letter confirming the same. I haven't received any telephone calls or e-mails from OSU. There's been no mention yet of funding, just admittance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
perrykm2 Posted February 13, 2012 Share Posted February 13, 2012 It seems like people who receive fellowship offers get phone calls? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ourfinalproblem Posted February 14, 2012 Author Share Posted February 14, 2012 I did get the letter today! Like everyone else's, it didn't offer any information on funding or possible visiting days or anything, though. I'm hoping we'll get that information soon, the other schools I got acceptances from have included that in the admission letter itself. They may be waiting to send out the second round of acceptances before sending out the details to everyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
admirari Posted February 14, 2012 Share Posted February 14, 2012 Mine's still in review. Hope they will have second round of admissions very very soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

perrykm2 Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 I'm sorry about that, user_name. I've been checking the website every day; after the first few rounds of acceptances, I've just been waiting for my rejection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rupert Pupkin Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 There's been more than one round of acceptances? There's only a couple of acceptances posted on the results board. Not nearly as many as previous years. I have been assuming that there would be more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spasticlitotes Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 I got an acceptance. After being super paranoid, since this was my first acceptance out of four responses, I called the department. Three times. And then I sent them an email. Nothing. So. Given that there are a million of us who seem to have gotten in, it makes me wonder how many special fellowships they have exactly. I think I need SOMETHING to calm my nerves. Because of the above-mentioned paranoia, I ended up applying to twenty schools, and I really can't handle nineteen rejections. I feel like it would invalidate my entire life. (I realize that's pathetic, I own my patheticness. We cool.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kikalique87 Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 The DGS called me today, and he said they have 20 spots this year, although I didn't catch how many applicants (I was driving and illegally on the cell phone, I couldn't not take the phone call!) He also said they scaled back the size of the incoming PhDs because of the way they are restructuring the department. Don't lose hope! Good luck everyone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
user_name Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 You got in somewhere--that's enough to be calm about. transcendental 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
