Thank you! One of the schools, UofR, accepted me and is offering a 50% tuition scholarship.

Yes, I'm going to get in touch with both schools tomorrow.

Rejected from all the schools I applied to, though two invited me to apply to their MA programs. Glad I wasn't entirely disregarded.

Likewise!! I'm worried about funding and the usefulness of a MALS , but CUNY's courses seem so awesome! I would consider it if I don't get accepted to all of the schools I applied to.

Got rejected from Cornell and CUNY so far. I had opened those e-mails without considering that they might be rejection notices. Such a shock.

I had a cookies issue after I made my online payment and was taken back to the login page, so no idea of what I might have missed. Anything important?

Yes! I had to check this a few times to make sure.

Just joined, been lurking for about a month or so. Hello! Currently stressing over my writing sample and getting my recommendations. The longest paper I had to write as an undergrad was seven pages long, so I've been freaking out over writing a fifteen page paper! I'm planning to specialize in British Romanticism, and my writing sample is about James Joyce's Dubliners - they don't quite match, but were I to change my writing sample now, I think I would have a meltdown. About my recommendations, I asked three professors, but one is no longer working at the college I graduated from and isn't teaching at the moment. She said that as she is no longer working there, she may not be my best choice, but I know she would write a really wonderful recommendation. Caught between insisting that I would like her to write recommendations for me or asking professors I haven't kept in contact with since I graduated four years ago. Thoughts? My first application is due December 5th. Yikes!! Good luck to everyone applying this year!!
