Thanks guys. If my good news for the day/week comes from the doctor instead of an adcomm then I'll be happy with that!

Nothing like being rejected from Tufts while at the doctor's waiting to hear if I have cancer. Ouch :/

Another early modernist from my program was accepted to UCI. While he deserves the acceptance entirely, I will admit I'm a little selfishly bummed by the news while also excited for him. Here's hoping for a waitlist! ETA: Completely posted this in the wrong place. Whoops!!

Congrats! That's wonderful news!

Hello! I'm distracting myself in a number of ways. I'm mostly focusing on my school work by making sure I'm either really on top of or ahead in my readings and by volunteering for presentation dates in my classes that fall during this waiting period. I've also scheduled some decompression time in to each weekend by having a designated "Girls Night" with my best friend every Sunday. I've also found "color therapy" (a fancy shmancy term for coloring in coloring books) to be particularly helpful in keeping my hands occupied with something other than refreshing my email. And there's also beer. Lots of beer. I've only heard back from one school, so I've been trying to do anything other than just checking my email. I've been pretty good about only checking it ~4 times a day. ETA: I get my comps questions in 11 days, so I expect to do the majority of my research while waiting to hear back. That should be fun.

I just had a call from an "unknown" number which turned out to be my doctor, but man did that give me a nice shot of adrenaline and nerves!

Congrats! I looked in to KCL before deciding where to get my MA. It seems like a great program! Congrats on your acceptance!!!

YAY!!! Congrats!! How perfect for you!

That was actually my mother's idea She's a brilliant lady.

I have a couple Plan Bs. One is to try to adjunct at different community colleges in the area. Another is to just work a few serving jobs (ugh). Or I'll go back to community college and take language classes so I can keep my tutoring job and not pay my student loans. That's like plan C, though. Either way I'll be trying to apply next season if I can afford it!

Congrats everyone!!!

I just double-checked their email, and it said they will be reviewing applications until the middle of this month. That seems like its cutting it close for people who have families and full-time jobs and whatnot. Anyway, we should be hearing from them soon hopefully!

Congrats! Btw, I know we had a bunch of Northwestern applicants, but did anyone else apply to Northeastern? Their admitted students weekend is at the end of this month, so I was hoping that meant they would be notifying rather early.

I think we have more lurkers than we realize (hi, fellow CSULB friends )!

Maybe the "cohort" is the new "cohort" for this year's conference? I'd definitely ask for clarification.

That's the worst! So sorry!

Congrats! My status is still "applied"

I'm currently working on Aphra Behn's The Widow Ranter for one of my classes. I might end up using this play for my thesis in this class because of the inclusion of the feminine oracular tradition (my current project) and multiple strong female roles! Including an "Indian" Queen that catches the audience's sympathy and is well spoken/portrayed!

I'm not too worried, mostly because the programs that are notifying this early are programs to which I did not apply. Its too early to worry as far as I'm concerned!

Congrats everyone! I'm still getting nothing but dead silence.

Actually, I don't know how to check my admissions decision? I don't see a button indicating the "Graduate Application Decision Status" or anything. My application just says "Submitted." Am I missing something? I mean, I know its a rejection, but I want to see if for myself (I just got home from work and was only able to see the email earlier). ETA: Nevermind, the email link was just taking me to the wrong site.

It's their loss, really. You're worthy of every acceptance.

Thanks. Honestly I'm just glad I finally heard from someone. The silence was killing me!

I am officially a USC reject. Worse things have happened. Congrats to the new acceptances!

Oh wow, congrats to the Berkeley admits! I'm so happy for you!!
