@KWIKKI -- Well, then how should I actually feel about seven rejections in a row... Despite having actually (unexpectedly then already) received some quite welcoming feedback about my writing sample from schools like nyu (after interview stage) and rutgers. I honestly don't know what is wrong with me in my case. It is one of the most disheartening experiences I've had so far. So what I am saying is that things can be ~way~ worse. @beccamayworth -- Thanks for reminding about extending one's educational background through a MA program. Would work for a loser like me. Stop. No more regrets. Congrats to everyone who made it through to the stars.

Thanks LinguisticMystic! I think the likelihood of my application being rejected is high, as there are no updates in it whatsoever. On a more neutral note, however, they might not have read/discussed it yet. Still, I looked up the 2013 data -- they could send out rejection letters even in March. Don't know what to do, maybe try to learn to knit!

Hi everyone, I guess somehow it would be stupid for me to ask that now. Yet I'll give it a try: 1) has anyone received any letters (including rejection) from UPenn yet? 2) has anyone received explicit rejection letters from UChicago? And a biiiiiiiiiig silly question: how to check your application status for UPenn, UChicago, and Rutgers? Apologies for the questions seeming naive (with "i trema")!
