Grettir got a reaction from unræd in Medieval Applicants (Fall 2016)
Hey 'Cat'erburyTales,
I just accepted at Cornell! Needless to say, I am beyond excited!
So I declined everywhere else last week (this includes taking myself off of the waitlist at UIUC).
What about you? Any news?

Anyone else out there?

Would it bother them if I e-mail to ask about my status? Should I just wait? I have a negative experiences with writing to ask about my status, because they always said "DENIED".

Deleted my last comment because this one just says it all. ^^^^
Here's hoping programs contact some of us today saying, "We love you and your research interests. Will you be our Valentine? For the next five years?"

Thanks!
I’m waiting for word also from UIUC. I’ve heard they take a really long time to get back to applicants though. I’ve also applied to IU, UPenn, UMich, and UT-Austin.

Hey all! It's really great to see medievalists going to such an interesting variety of places. Congrats to everyone who's had an acceptance, and to everyone else, best of luck!
I was accepted at Cambridge (ASNC) and University College London. Still waiting on Harvard and Oxford, and on the all-important results of funding bodies, without whom I'm going to need to sell some organs to fund this degree...

Yay another medievalist!!!!
I’m also applying this season, mainly looking to specialize with Middle English lit and Arthurian lit. So far, I’ve had one acceptance at WMU and two rejections from UW-Madison and Notre Dame. What other schools are you looking at?

Hey all,
I know the medieval thread from last year was extremely beneficial for that cohort (as well as for me as a lurker!). . .
Just wondering if there are any medievalists applying this season. If so, what are your areas of interest? Where have you been accepted/rejected?
Historically, my research is focused on early Anglo-Saxon stuff, mostly, but I am also interested in Old English/early Middle English in the 12th century. I'm bent toward linguistic-heavy research, but I am also very interested in emotions and cognitive approaches to medieval lit.
I have thus far been accepted to SLU and Fordham and have been rejected from Notre Dame and UCLA.
Good luck to everyone this season!

Good luck everyone!
