  1. Thanks - you too!!
  2. Just to confirm jma310, I'm one of this year's BC acceptances, and in an email, the DGS said that their class size is once again 4. I don't know how many they accept in total and how many they waitlist, but that seems to be their standard target class.
  3. Thank you for giving me an excuse to gush about my MA experience. As a senior, I applied to PhD programs and was rejected almost across the board from 13 schools - got waitlisted at one and accepted to the MA program at BC as a "consolation" acceptance. I went to BC and learned a lot - my classes and interactions with faculty helped me find focus (which was previously more or less "I like things that are old and British") and is now much more specific and interesting. I got published, presented at a conference... I think reading so much more scholarship (SO MUCH) is part of what made my academic writing better. Now, I'm out of my MA by two years and applying again, to schools that are a better fit for me, and so far it's going pretty well. If there's anything else, more specifically, that you'd like to know about what I learned, I'd be happy to answer!
  4. Thank you! And ditto on Gdom87 - don't give up! I don't pretend to have ANY idea how this stuff all works...
  5. That was me - I got an email a couple of days ago saying that they were meeting soon to make final decisions, and last night, I got a call from Laura Tanner with the official acceptance. I know that the cohort is really small (4?), but I have no idea where they are in terms of notifying everyone. I'll keep my fingers crossed for you too!! And I see that you're waiting on BU as well... the end of February seems like a really really long time from now...
  6. It was time to come out of my hobbit hole and actually post here, instead of just lurking. I got accepted to the PhD program at Missouri, and my experience was the same as the MA acceptance -- email to check website, link on the ApplyYourself page, form letter once I logged in. I still haven't heard anything directly from the department. I'm sure that there will be a bunch more acceptances to come!
