  1. If anyone's still waiting it out, yesterday and today I declined offers from Ohio State, Illinois U-C, UW-Seattle, CUNY, and took name off waitlist at Brandeis. The UIUC offer was a fellowship. I'll be attending USC!! Very excited!
  2. I'm deciding between similar fellowship funding packages at USC and Illinois Urbana-Champaign (well, the USC one is a better package but obviously LA is more expensive). Both schools have strong queer theory and critical race theory faculty members, but I'm having a hard time deciding between them. Location aside (I think there are good and bad things about both LA and a small town like U-C for grad student life), do people have opinions about the reputations of these schools? I'd specifically like to hear from folks who do queer/gender/race stuff, if possible, but would gladly read input from anyone in English depts. Are there faculty members at your institutions who've done graduate degrees at either school? Of course I've been in contact with students and faculty at both places, but the decision is getting really rough for me so I figured I'd put it out here and see if anyone had opinions on respectability of these programs, etc.
  3. Submission Status: SubmittedSubmitted Date: 11/7/2009 12:27:00 PM E.S.T.(P) Application Complete - sent to program Is this the bit that changes on the ApplyYourself site? My seems to be doing nothing.
  4. If it helps you hold out hope, I the posted acceptance on the results board and I'm direct-to-PhD (already have a MA) and I was offered a fellowship. These factors might explain an early decision.
  5. It seems so strange to see waitlists before acceptances (or even rejections)! Acceptances are usually the first to go. I'm holding out hope that it's not just those who've already been accepted are not using thegradcafe!
  6. I'm an internal applicant and was accepted today. They previously sent out all fellowship offers, to my understanding. Internal applicants were in the same pool as externals but not eligible for fellowships, which explains the time delay between these two sets of acceptances. That said, since they've notified internally that means they've made all of their non-fellowship decisions, but not that they've notified anyone who is not an internal applicant. I'd say external folks will hear very soon.
