I'm as in the dark as you are. I really hope to hear something soon!

Can I just tell you my very favorite part of the Book of Margery Kempe? It's when she and her husband are picnicking and he's all, Would you rather my head be cut off, or us to have sex? And she says she'd rather he died than go back to their "uncleanliness," to which he responds, "Ye are no good wife." That's had me literally laughing out loud.

Yes, that's what it looks like. I wish they did them all together so I could at least KNOW for certain, even if it is a rejection.

Well, bless my nippers, bless them all day long! Same to you, I love me some Marge

Willikers! Thanks, dear reader

Hey Kurayamino, I'm so sorry to hear that NY is out of the picture, but congrats on getting into IUB! I just graduated from their program, and they have a beautiful campus, amazing resources (the Kinsey is freaking fantastic), and really caring, awesome professors. If you ever want to know anything about the school, feel free to message me! I highly recommend it. UCLA is, of course, also fantastic, as well as the other places you applied to.

Oh thank god, that actually makes me feel a bit better. A lot better. I really, really hope it works out because I love the city of Madison almost as much as I love their English department!

Thanks so much, Hannalore! I'm surprised because it looks like almost everyone accepted/waitlisted already has a Masters, so I hope that won't hurt my chances for getting bumped up to acceptance! Pretty sure I've got an implied rejection from UNC and Michigan, though.

Does anyone have any experience with the English PhD waitlist for UW-Madison?

Hey guys, I'm new to these forums. Is an "implied rejection" basically getting radio silence, but seeing on GradCafe that acceptances have gone out? Because if so I have that from a couple of places, but I'm waitlisted at UW-Madison...
