How should I wax poetic in my letters? Should I write to DGS or to my poi? My poi said she didn't know anything about the waitlist.

Waxed poetic? How? Please teach me a thing or two.

Did you ask Chapel Hill? I am afraid that they would be annoyed.

I am waitlisted at Michigan, a great fit for me. Should I send DGS a letter inquiring about my status? I have already sent one 20 days ago, would it be annoying? Or should I wait?

I am waitlisted at Michigan, I sent DGS a letter around the end of February, should I send him another letter inquiring about the list at this point of time?

Wow, haven't heard anything this week. What's going on?

Wow, What other aspects about Purdue do you know? I am in fact very interested in continental philosophy, trauma studies and media.

ThisisDog, hugs. I didn't even get waitlisted by Harvard. There is still hope. Did you get an email to check website by Yale?

Wow, that's a lot

Instead of GRE, I think GPA gets in the way of my programs. Is 3.60 really very low? Guess that's a factor I can't change.

Per week?

Hmm, guys, what is 2:2?

I saw a Yale acceptance two weeks ago. Perhaps I am still waiting for UIUC. It's right now the spring festival in China. Thus I don't quite feel the anxiety of waiting at all. Fingers crossed for Harvard waitlist.

Thisisdog, do you have other schools to hear from?

I am waitlisted at UCSB and Michigan. I am so willing to go to Michigan, Complit. Can anyone give me some idea about how I can improve my chances of getting in?

Yeah, it makes me worry, but I checked the profile of teachers in Chinese key universities, most of them are not overseas trained. So guess studying abroad still has a competitive edge.

I heard there was already a shortlist for Stanford. Did they email you?

Quena, I have been reading your posts. Maybe we should add wechat. Haha

The post about top25 schools really discourages me and I am thinking whether I should reapply or take a job in China. 5555

Yeah. I am a Chinese and thank you very much. I don't know whether I would go back to China right now. But I have this in mind as well since I am the only child in my family. However I also want to work in US first. The job market is bad in US, though, I heard. One of my professor graduated from Purdue and taught in a top Chinese university. There are not many Chinese students going to the states pursuing a phd of literature. They go for CS or EE, something like that. For Michigan, I have sent an email to the DGS one week ago, if I resend hom an email, will it annoy him? Or can I send emails to POIs I mentioned in my sop? Thank you sooo much

I get really blue today, since I saw a post recommending going to only top25 schools. But Purdue is not. Right now I am waitlisted at Michigan and don't know how to improve my chances of getting into there...blue

SubmarineReflection, congrats to you! You must be really wonderful to get into those schools. I am accepted at Purdue and I wonder whether I can do a joint degree or take a minor? And I hear that in US, students can transfer schools, how does that work? Thx.

Yeah. So what other schools are you waiting now? I have got only 5

Hugs...I have just received rejection from Princeton as well. And I got a letter from Uchicago saying that they are recommending me for MAPH admission. I don't really know anything about it. Have you heard anything?
