Anglo-Saxonist in terms of Arthurian, but leaning more toward any up-to-Malory Arthurian. I do prefer Old to Middle English, and love the utter despair of the poetry and the lack of comitatus. (God, I can't spell tonight.) Where you headed?

I got my acceptance email on the first, and the official letter about a week ago. Full funding, stipend. Now I just have to move everything from California to upstate NY. My in-laws are thrilled, since they're not too far from Binghamton. It sounds like I may be the only medievalist they're taking this year, but I don't know, as I've only spoken with my adviser and the associate grad director.

ASU only had something like ten funded spots this year, to be divvied up between PhD and MFA, so competition for funding was fierce.

Well, if you get an email from donotreply@asu.edu, and the subject is "ASU Rejection Letter", congratulations! You too are off the waitlist! I guess there's always next year. Third time's a charm?

Just got rejected off the waitlist. Whoo! I'm thrilled.

I emailed the DGS and asked. She emailed back and said, waitlisted, will let you more later.

Yup, please welcome me to team waitlist.

Just emailed, still in review, they'll let me know when a decision's made. For the record, my area of interest is Medieval.

Any other news on the Binghamton front? It's literally my last of two apps and my last shot for getting into a PhD program this time around...

So, 'in review' might not necessarily mean on the wait list on the website, it might mean there's a decision, they just haven't actually updated the website status yet? I'm having deja vu to last year, when I was in the exact same position. Whoo!

My Lit application is still in review. Since there haven't been any new notifications since before spring break (last week), I think they're still going through the pile.
