  1. I gave in and called the graduate adviser. She said they haven't notified yet and "You should hear this week or next."
  2. Did anyone else apply for USC's PhD in Creative Writing and Literature? It's the only school I haven't heard a word about yet and I'm really curious when they will start admitting/rejecting/etc.
  3. do those of you who have been accepted/rejected have any details? are they done sending out acceptances? did you find out via the website or email? thanks!
  4. for those of you who have gotten your admitted/rejected status online, are you near the end or beginning of the alphabet? mine still says "no decision" but i'm at the very end of the alphabet and trying to glean whether they are going through the apps that way. thanks!
  5. Sure, here's the direct quote: "I should warn you that we ended up with a huge overyield of grad students last year, with 17 new matriculants in the Ph.D. program. That committed funding for 6 more students than we are allowed. So this year we will only admit 5 new students. We received 680 applications, making the process of selection something of a nightmare and, from the standpoint of applicants such as yourself, something of a lottery."
  6. I just heard from a professor there that Penn's English department had 680 PhD applicants and they will be admitting 5. I don't want to add to anyone's anxiety but I thought anyone who applied there might like to know.
  7. Thanks everyone for your help/advice! I feel much better about my score.
  8. Can anyone advise me whether my low score will hurt my chances? I just got the scores and I knew they would be mediocre, but I wasn't expecting a 540 (48th percentile). The rest of my application is strong and my verbal was 93 percentile, but I guess I'm wondering whether this poor score will affect my chances? Four out of the eight schools I applied to asked for the subject test. Thank you very much for your help and time!
