Flight to Delaware booked! Can't wait for March 11-12! 

Michigan State's is this week! I'm super excited.

This is a little late but I GOT INTO STANFORD MODERN THOUGHT AND LITERATURE!!!!!

Won a Graduate College Distinguished Fellowship from Illinois. 
 
I don't know what to do.

Well, I had my "conversation" with Syracuse this afternoon. I really feel like I did my best. Now I'm just going to chill and wait. They said they'd get back to me "before the end of the month."
Good luck @klader and @midwest-ford! 

Me: dammmmmnnnn look at all this information
*realizes there are sections and I'm looking at lit section, moves to rhet/comp tab*
Me: oh. nevermind

I know what I'm about to suggest sounds conspiracy-theory-ish, but anybody out there think @Warelin might actually be an adcom member? 

Waitlisted at UNC Chapel Hill!!!!!! They rejected me last year. 

I'm in at Miami! They sent me an email stating I'd have a decision posted to their online portal in 48 hours. Exactly 48 hours later, an acceptance! Happy to possibly join this program. Best of luck to everyone else. 

FWIW, my department's secretary sent out a list of housing complexes students have used in the past, and here's the list:

Hope this can help some people out!!  

Yes, Purdue has an unofficial waitlist. In the  TAship letter, they said they'd "appreciate it" if we could notify them of our decisions by March 1st, so expect more offers to be made after then 

Congrats to all the Miami Ohio admits!! I've been admitted, too since I'm finishing my MA there now, please feel free to pm me and ask any questions about the program. I expect they will be reaching out to us soon.

I told myself that I was going to sleep in today to avoid the anxiety of waiting for Miami's portal to update (at 10:40am), but I woke up at 8:00am. Finally updated and I'm accepted!

This post might have been better put on the Venting thread. I am sorry for your experience thus far, and I agree that it is always good to keep perspective when a rejection comes in if you do have other offers or waitlists. That being said, people, even people who have acceptances, are allowed to feel disappointed when they are rejected and express that disappointment. It might be a school they thought they would fit in best at, or the school that would enable them to stay close to loved ones. It's a matter of being human, not being ungrateful. I personally plan to wail like an infant when Columbia rejects me, because I really see myself in that program and many of the people I love most in the world have moved to Manhattan or Brooklyn. (Though I will likely limit my wailing to the real world with only chihuahuas as audience.)
I really do hope you have an acceptance on the horizon, and that things turn around for you this season.
 

I just got my first acceptance! Virginia Tech's Rhetoric & Writing PhD!
 

Rhet/comp friends, who else is getting ready to check their Miami portal tomorrow? I'm considering sleeping in just to avoid anxiety before the portal updates.

If someone isn't friends with my advisor are they even worth knowing??
