Thank you all for your help! I already have a master's so there wouldn't be any flexibility as far as switching goes.

It's a relatively good fit, however only one professor in the department has research interests that align with my own.

I was finally accepted off the waitlist at a great school yesterday (April 15). It is my only offer this application season after 5 rejections. The school is in a less-than-desirable location (actually my version of hot concrete hell) and has a somewhat discouraging placement record, so I'm wondering if I should turn it down and put all my energy into building a stronger application for next year (when I would try to apply to at least 10-12 schools). Is this incredibly foolish? All I can hear is the old "a bird in the hand" adage, and worry I'm taking an enormous risk by hoping next year will pan out.

Oh I'm sure once my Cornell rejection rolls in i'll be irrationally angry towards this anonymous turd. Anyways, any other word from Brown? My apply web is still unchanged.

Me too. I hate to think of one dingus sullying the supportive atmosphere around here, I imagine all the stress of application season just culminated into this bizarre attempt at light-heartedness.

I am wondering the same thing. So far no visible change in applyweb, though i'm not familiar with the website at all.

Congratulations everyone! I'm happy to answer questions any of the UPitt admits may have about the city.

Anyone want to claim the Minnesota English acceptances? looks like a couple have trickled in but around the 20th, with no recent news.

I wonder why Duke English is doing interviews this year, and if they are interviewing all persons of interest. Let the worrying continue!

Congrats! I can't answer any of your questions but I'm sure it's a great sign. I also applied to Duke so keep us updated!

Hello! I know I'm late to the party, but I'm wondering if it is possible/prudent to apply to both the english and the literature program with different writing samples?
