    Hi! About the rejection letters, I just pestered the Comission in Chile and they emailed the IIE. And no, we are not obligated to accept the program that they offer, they actually encourage us to apply directly to different programs too. I think the Commissions work differently in each country. Congrats for yout UPItt acceptance! Are you going for the master or the doctoral degree?

    Dear all, Does anyone have any experience with Cribspot when it comes to graduate housing? I know it's relatively new but I was just wondering...

    I am soooo done with the IIE I have already accepted one of my Direct Application offers, and this is what I can say about the IIE process: there are soooooooooooooo many applicants that the IIE manages, that mistakes can happen. I was rejected from all my top choices that the IIE send, and accepted into the one top choice I applied on my own. Also, they had one of my rejection letters and they had simply "misplaced it" and had forgotten to send it. So, honestly, bug and bug the Fulbright Comission in Portugal (if you are a fulbrighter) or any of your sponsors, so that they can make sure everything is okay. good luck! and let us know where you will be heading!

    Let us know how the visit goes!!! Any impressions will be appreciated!

    No, I didn't!!! Have you? I'm going out of my mind with this... I've heard from people at the English Dept. that it's not very competitive... I wrote to the Fulbright Comission and they said Austin would be deciding on their funding in the next two weeks

    Hey! Hi! I'm also moving to Ann Arbor this fall, though from a bit more to the south (aka, Chile). I'm also looking for housing options, so if you have any ideas, insights, or whatever, just PM me :D!

    Question: I saw a few rejections from Duke Literature... I haven't heard from them at all. Should I take this as an implied rejection?
  9. BellaBendrix
    Mine too was dated March 2nd (Complit at Austin), and these offers went out ages ago. I guess I was on their waiting list.
  10. BellaBendrix
    So far, only rejections from IIE I am still waiting on 3 universitites through them tho
  11. BellaBendrix
    Something like this?
  12. BellaBendrix
    You mean the one with the fellowships and all?
  13. BellaBendrix
    Mostly visual culture and contemporary novel, especially graphic novels. I'm a geek.

    Nah, if I had gotten into Chicago (was rejected D:), I would brag too. We are all super sensitive! I don't think I will get a call, as I am an international student and I applied through the IIE. Did you contact the professors beforehand? What's your area???
  15. BellaBendrix
    OMG there is a Penn acceptance. Anybody cares to claim it? The reaction in the search result was hilarious.
  16. BellaBendrix
    No I'm dying. @3zs Hi, may I ask what programs you are applying to, or is that too intrusive? What's your research area?
  17. BellaBendrix
    My god, I feel you. And i loved your post, so so inspiring! I went through the exact same thing. Losing somebody, bad break up, rolling rejections. But then, slowly, things got better. And I learned so many valuable things during this time! So yes, it's not the end of the world, it's the start of something. Congratulations on your acceptances!

    Well, I took the GRE 3 TIMES! I'm also an international student, Spanish is my native language, and the highest I got was 163. Man, did I study. So i don't know, really, I guess I am not a good option for them either. I love their program, though, and I would be so happy to at least have a chance, but at least now that I have 1a, 3r and 1w, I feel calm. (Though I must say, this week left me with like two extra kilos).
  19. BellaBendrix
    Are we sure about this? If this is true, it gives me hopes! I read somewhere else Complit does interviews (somebody posted theirs had been a few days ago).
  20. BellaBendrix
    Let's have faith. Two acceptances informed on a Saturday, probably personalized e-mails from POI. Let's wait for tomorrow and see what happens! Although, if any of these acceptances see this post, please let us out of the darkness and give us some info! and congrats!!!!!!
  21. BellaBendrix
    Does anybody have any news in this front? Does Columbia usually send out interviews?
  22. BellaBendrix
    What school was that? Cornell had a similar comment. As a native speaker of Spanish and EFL teacher with working experience in Top US colleges, let me tell you: I corrected more English than Spanish grammar, and I was a Spanish T.A. I don't know whether to be mad or be scared of what awaits me.

    I was coming out of the gym, sweating like a pig, when I checked my email. I was so excited I ran back to the box to tell my coach, because I felt I HAD TO TELL SOMEONE to make it real. It was a weird, sweaty and ew hug what I got. I screamed like a girl.
  24. BellaBendrix
    I also got an offer and their DGS sent me a really nice email offering to solve doubts and stuff. I was very nervous about what to answer, as I am still waiting for other options, so I hope my answer didn't come off as too cocky or something. Did they mention the possibility of having a member of the faculty or a current grad student contacting you?
