I posted once here ages ago, and then stopped using the forums for a bit. But I got all my applications in for Fall 2014 and I think I'm going to be accepting an offer to attend Northwestern this fall. Anyone else heading that way? The only part of the US I've ever been to is California (Im from NZ) so Im as nervous as hell, but hopefully it will be a good choice!

I just turned down an offer at LSU. Think I'm going with Northwestern, so will most likely be turning down offers from U of Oregon, U of Iowa, and U of Hawaii at Manoa as well. Rejecting offers feels like breaking up with someone. My guilt is only alleviated by the hope that it helps someone else get off the waitlist.

I already got my rejection letter. Good luck!

*waves* Can I join in here? I am working on my applications for Fall 2014 programs, and I'm so nervous! I'm splitting my applications between creative writing and literature programs and hoping for the best. I feel confident about my writing samples, GRE scores, and letters of rec, but SOPs are giving me major writer's block. I'm also a bit stressed because I'm currently in a "grey" immigration area: I'm not from the USA, but I'm married to a US citizen (for almost 3 years now) and am waiting for my green card application to be processed. Immigration stuff seems to make filling out all those application forms more complicated! But I will be happy if I can just get into one program if it is funded, and I should have my green card by March next year. Anyway, enough about me. How are your SOPs coming along?
