Hi Datatape,
I'm in at South Carolina English PhD -- literature focus. I was notified a couple weeks ago by the DGS but he mentioned that it was early notification bc of a fellowship offer. I did receive an e-mail from another professor in the dept and a grad student about accomodations for visiting weekend just this week -- visiting weekend is at the end of March so they may be making decisions still.
I wish you the best of luck!
I posted one of the South Carolina acceptances. It mentioned that I was receiving "advanced notice" and a fellowship offer w a deadline.
I'm Lit, not Rhet/Comp.
Based on my experience and the other poster who received news, I think you still might hear good news. Best of luck to you.
