I haven't reread my materials at all... But I got a call with a fellowship offer today, and they asked for a "clean" copy of my SOP. Turns out, I left a comment on it that said something like "should I add a quotation here?" Excellent work, really my finest hour. Somehow they still accepted me and do not think I am a complete idiot, and luckily that was the only one that had a comment on it still.

You'll love it! Season 3 is my favorite.

Season six finale right now. It's getting to the point where I can quote every episode, which is probably a bad thing.

Super fun update: As a native North Carolinian, yes, east coast schools are closing tomorrow. So I can count on continuing to not hear anything from those schools forever. It's cool, I'll self-medicate by rewatching Buffy for the thousandth time.

Excellent! I got a call saying they're nominating me for a fellowship and funding information would come along with a call from the DGS in a few days, so no need to panic about funding. Of course, I might have been the only one panicking about funding. Or just panicking in general.

Thanks so much! You're amazing just for responding. I'm early modern lit as well. Any idea about the state of funding, not including fellowships? Obviously a fellowship would be fantastic, but just having tuition covered and a small stipend might make it possible to actually attend.

So I saw this thread and immediately made an account so I could post. I'm the one who posted the acceptance to Ohio State. Do they really admit fellowship candidates early? I don't have an official offer yet, just the portal notification. Funding is obviously a huge priority, I do not have piles of cash laying around to spend on a program (or even a semester) out of pocket. Congratulations to everyone on their acceptances! OSU is the only one I've heard back from so far. Update: I just got my official offer email. Absolutely no mention of funding/fellowship at all. Does this mean there is none? I won't be able to attend if I can't get funding. They did say a "Notice of Admission" letter will be coming by post in a few days--any chance that could have information on funding that the email doesn't? Kind of freaking out, here.
