lousyconnection reacted to Pink Fuzzy Bunny in WINE, WAIT, AND WHINE THREAD
Well, guys... tomorrow begins the month of February. Just think, for most of us, it will all be decided in a month.
Just that thought alone makes me want to vomit.

I'm in love with this thread.
Hours before interview:
When the phone/skype starts ringing:
What I wish I could say when prof asks tough question:
what I do instead:
when I mention a work that I think makes me sound smart:
my biggest fear of what my interviewer might think of me:
...But seriously guys, this is a godsend with the waiting/interviewing game just sucking my lifeblood dry.

Getting no emails
Getting school-unrelated emails
Getting "we got your transcript" emails
Finally getting an email from the program!!!!!

lousyconnection reacted to ajf330 in UChicago English
Had this interview as well. Questions they asked:
Why a PhD with a creative MFA? How do I see these two relating?
Where do I see my research going forward/how do I see it relating to my previous work?
They asked me one question about the theorists I was examining relating to some things I said in my statement.
Good luck everyone!

So, they asked me some relatively specific stuff about my sample, focusing on larger thoughts behind it, and the same for my statement, really. Then gave me time to ask about the program. It went okay (I'm a nervous interview person, though). They also said decisions in about a week.

About halfway through that last part, I was thinking, "cool Shakespeare reference, but what even does pinot noir have to do with Titus Andronicus?" But then I got to the end, and: also an A+ reference.
