Ugh, that's awful.

Congrats on UCLA! I also assume chicago is a dead end for me too.

Yay!!! Congratulations!!

SO excited for positive news that I neglected to quote BOTH things that I meant to lol. Congratulations!

OMG WHY DO I NOT HAVE ANY MORE UPVOTES?! I'm sorry for the caps, but I felt that only they could convey my absolute joy for you! YAYAYAYAYAY!!

I don't have any more upvotes, but I definitely agree with this. As we have talked about in other areas "fit" seems to be such a huge factor.

I don't know if this will help or not bgt28, but I also did not send any official transcripts. I did, however, scan an official copy and attach that. I don't know if the unofficial official is any different than an unofficial honestly. I've heard once you "crack the seal" on the official envelope it is no longer regarded as such. However this was for the literature program, NOT MTL. Were you told by someone at Stanford about the transcripts? I'll keep my fingers crossed that it works out in your favor though!

Sorry to hear about those let down by Northwestern.

WT, LOL!! That's pretty hilarious! I'm back in class so I'm currently reading Lyly's Gallathea and Kyd's The Spanish Tragedy.

First of all I can't thank you enough for all your warm and generous responses to my acceptance. I unfortunately do not have enough "positive vibes" to upvote you all, but each and every one of them was treasured. Second, congrats to all the other admissions! Third, I know good news is just around the corner for so many of you and I can't wait to celebrate in your happiness!!

I just got into UCLA!! I am totally in shock right now. Felicity Nussbaum.

I had a friend admitted to michigan for comp lit. She received a phone call Saturday night, so I can confirm that those acceptances are rolling out. Keeping fingers crossed for all who applied there!

Me too

So good! And so true! I sure wish that one of the many enlightening conversations I had with my advisors about how hard grad school is would have include the "waiting to hear back" conversation.

Does anyone else wish there was a time stamp for when results are posted? It would be great to know approximately what time of day my phone could ring. :/

What every new email is going to do to me today: If it has anything remotely to do with higher education: When it's actually an acceptance: What I suspect we will be like at the end of the week:

Welcome lunalit, and congrats!

Welcome erosanddust! And congrats on the acceptance as well. Your interests listed in your signature sound really great! Do you study cultural effects of war in post-WWII literature, or is that just a temporal place holder? Just asking because despite my eighteenth century focus, I have a deep fondness for that time period and how people handled the after effects of war.

I know I've been feeling unmotivated lately (which is unfortunate since I'm in my final semester before graduating with my BA), so I turned to the video that I watched a few times during my own personal writing sample debacle. I'm sure some of you probably know of this, or at least of zefrank. There is an f-bomb in there, if you're sensitive to that sort of thing. Hopefully this will help anyone else who may be having a hard time getting things done while waiting.

There's a Michigan comp lit acceptance? Oh dear, that means English can't be far behind. It's becoming too real! Congratulations on the acceptance though!

Congrats childermass! No matter what one it is, it's great news!
