Actually if I remember correctly from past years, Columbia has tended to notify based on subfield, so I wouldn't draw too many conclusions here.

Nope. They're the only school I have left to hear from at this point too.

Just got mine as well.

This post is why I got rejected from Yale

Can I ask which wait-list? I've been incredibly lucky to have multiple offers, and I think a few other people here have been too, so there might be some forthcoming movement .

On the waitlist at Princeton, via a kind but formal email from the grad school dean just now.

Wasn't me--I posted my Harvard acceptance in comp lit on the board when it happened (a few weeks ago). There's at least one other person here who was accepted for comp lit around the same time as well, but I know nothing about their English PhDs.

Yale rejection via an email to check status. Looks like a big wave of them on the results board.

I got an offer at Northwestern too, and the campus visit is March 8th-11th. No clue if they're still giving out offers or finalizing a waitlist, though.

I applied to Princeton and haven't heard anything yet. Their site says that they'll notify by mid February so it should be any day now

This is really interesting because I had some overlap but also a few questions that were entirely different--it started with "Why UPenn?", for example. I wasn't my most articulate but I think it went well. Good luck to y'all too!

Just finished my UPenn interview (which I think went well enough). They said decisions would be coming in "the next week or two."

Did you mention them in your SOP? One thing that's weird for me is that neither of the people I'm interviewing with are POI for me (even though they both sound rad). Mine's tomorrow morning at six am my time....

Yeah, that's who I'm interviewing with. I wonder how large their cohort is...

Thank you! I have an interview tomorrow (I think at the same program?) and this helps a lot! I had no idea what to expect.

Thanks! It was a kind but formal email from Verena Conley, just a few details about funding, nothing really specific about my file (tho she said more info was forthcoming). I noticed a few other Harvard posts on the results page as well, so not sure if this was a big wave or not. I did name her in my app so perhaps they're notifying by field. Sorry I don't have more details!

Just got a surprising Sunday afternoon email--I'm in at Harvard!

I also have a Penn interview for next week--which was a nice surprise after both Brown and Chicago rejections today. Good luck to everyone else!

Just chiming in here--I also got my Brown rejection this morning, by way of an email that told me to check the ApplyWeb portal.

If you stare too long into the navel, the navel gazes back into you.

Harold Bloom fucking sucks

I think they're saying that Penn and Michigan are their top choices, hence their interest in Penn's interview process. I also got an offer at Michigan and I did not interview. Not sure if everything has gone out, but someone on results posted that they had a Michigan interview so they might still be sending acceptance/evaluating wait-lists.

Yeah I didn't really expect so many schools to interview either, based on my survey of last year.

Yale seems to be doing interviews as well...
