hopefulJ2010

i'm a similar applicant with similar GRE's, a higher gpa but focusing on later american. and nothing for me either.

i'd kill to even be on the waitlist haha

seems like they're calling waitlists now too

MJP, do you have any info on how many they are accepting?

congrats! rutgers is one of my top choices. i hope to be joining you:)

i see there are two rutgers admits. anyone want to claim them w stats or anything? thanks!

agreed for myself. that is all.

can you guys share stats? lehigh is one of my top choices.

we could be at the same school in the same english classes for all we know!

thank you! it's one of my top choices. i see you're from long island-- i go to school on the island!

it's really crazy! i'm from the nyc area so i applied to nyu (implied rej i think) and didn't bother with columbia. i understand ivies and city schools garnering a lot of apps but penn state, despite being a good program wouldn't really strike me as a high-target school. i have a few on my list i'm hoping didn't get NEAR 700 applicants.

700 applications for penn state english this year? really?

now there's a umass one?

anyone to claim? seems a bit early for them.

my thesis advisor is a hopkins english grad. he said the department is teeny. but i know it's a really good one! good luck guys.

i'm waiting for BU haven't heard anything about them on here @ all.

haha i know it's a bit early to panic. convo with one of my good friends: me: may as well apply to the MA at undergrad X university cause that's what it's looking like her: no J, it's not looking like ANYTHING yet. law admissions are so much more predictable. i think i can crack the lsat being i work for one of the test companies and have the GPA. but i know it's not necessarily the wisest move to resort to something i'm not quite as passionate about and am definitely considering other options including teaching HS and applying to CUNY for a more affordable MA.

i am having panic attacks! i will have to live at home or go for my MA at my undergrad institution which i love. however i fear that the 25k it will cost me for my MA from there isn't worth it when it's just a small by no means TOP private school in ny. it would be even more crushing if, after completing my masters, i re-applied and again didn't get in. therefore leaving my options to: getting a masters in ed or taking the lsat and going to law school. oy.

am i the only one who just broke down in tears despairing over what i'll do if i don't get in? seriously i've debating teaching high school or becoming a lawyer but i just feel like that's unfair to me. why should i have to compromise what i want to do?

any info on MA numbers?

le vecu, i don't have an MA yet... i applied to the direct admit phd. i'm becoming anxious-- i hope some programs will offer admission to the MA if not the phd.

anyone to claim this w/ stats if possible? anyone else heard back from them?

i was wondering about brandeis too

anyone know if brandeis is indeed notifying? there was one phd acceptance on the results feed. i applied to the MA but still, there's hope!
