  1. I will point out that your AW score is excellent. It baffles me how most ad coms seem to underrate this section, as analytical writing ability is a far more important indicator of grad school success than a multiple choice exam.
  2. Has anybody been waitlisted at Rutgers yet? I've only seen acceptances on the results board.
  3. Are there any applicants to Carnegie Mellon on here? I haven't seen too many and I have yet to hear from them. Apparently CMU are late accepters. Anybody hear any news?
  4. Did that letter mention you by name? I'm an Americanist who checked off being considered for the MA if not accepted for the PhD there, so just making sure there wasn't a mixup.
  5. I just was rejected at WUSTL, a school I thought I had a chance at. Oh well. I'm hoping for a miracle now.
  6. I got rejected too. I did receive a MA offer, but the tuition is ridiculous.
  7. I just received another PhD rejection/MA offer, this time from BU. What this apparently tells me is that while I'm good enough to be a graduate student, I'm not quite elite enough to be a direct admit PhD student. Still, I have a handful of schools to hear from. These two offers are still an ego boost.
  8. WT: I have about the same number of schools to hear from. What's great is that only one acceptance is needed. It's not over yet.
  9. WT: That is interesting. I too polished my SOP a bit after I applied to UMD, yet similarly the program so far has been the only bit of good news (even if "just" a MA).
  10. I'm in the same boat WT. It's a small consolation, but it's still a slight ego-booster.
  11. I just received my third official rejection; from CUNY. Oh well; it's far from over.
  12. Lately I've been listening to Jenny Lewis' album The Voyager. The lyric in the opening song "Head Under Water" (there's a little bit of magic, everybody has it. There's still sand left in the hourglass) has been my rallying cry lately.
  13. It's now inching towards mid-February, and I have yet to receive a single acceptance. However, I have plenty of schools to hear from, even as all the "implied rejections" (most recently from some of my dream programs) are starting to grate on me. I'm just glad I applied to as many schools as I did. For everyone in my boat, remember Yogi Berra's eternal mantra.
