Hi! I was also considering UConn as a serious option (though I haven't heard about funding yet...), but I also found this thread a little terrifying... I don't think I'll be able to afford a car either. I think I could survive if the surroundings are nice - is there any nice countryside to escape to?

Nantes & Illogicalbones! I'll likely be looking for housing in Eugene, but wouldn't be moving out there until the late Aug/early Sept. Let me know if you guys work anything out or come across any helpful information in the process! Thanks!
I will not be arriving before the end of Augustb either I don't think. Let's keep in touch!

Nnantes! I'm looking for housing too. I live in Idaho so am struggling to secure house from across state lines. I start UO this summer for my journalism master's program. Let me know if you find a place and are looking for someone who isn't a serial killer to live with.
Great! I sent you a PM. Anyone else out there looking for something?? The more we are the cheaper it will be - and, from experience, it's also really fun to live with a bunch of different people

Lots of people have heard back for both acceptances and rejections. I, however, have yet to hear a peep!
But as they held interview in February, I have written it off as an implied rejection...
I had an interview, but haven't heard anything yet either. Rejection?

I contacted them on February 23rd and got the following response. I was somewhat happy it was not a straight rejection. However, I am not sure what to think of it at this point:
Your application has been reviewed. We are in the process of deciding about funding for this year. I hope I can get back to you as soon as possible with a decision.That sounds like an acceptance!!! No?

Anyone heard from UConn?
Nope! I'm still waiting as well. I'll let you know if I get any news, please do so too! It's getting late in the year... If I don't hear anything within the next week I think I'll e-mail them.

Hi! I'm also looking into housing in Eugene at the moment. I don't really want to live with a bunch of undergrads, so where should I go?? I'm looking into house sharing if anyone is interested. My funding is pretty low, though :s

Maybe we should each pick an university and ask where they are in the process of reviewing. I volunteer for JHU. Anyone wanna take WUST?
I got a rejection from WUSTL yesterday. So if you haven't heard yet, I'm guessing that's a pretty good sign!! I'm still waiting on ND, Connecticut and Emory, in case anyone has any info...

Thank you so much! I will do that!
If you don't mind me asking: which uni was it that you contacted?? I'm also still waiting for a few results, and it's horrible not knowing if it's an implied rejection or if they are still looking at the applications....

Well, I have yet to hear back from two schools, but I think this year it's rejection from all seven schools I applied to.
Currently I am not sure whether I will re-apply next year as I have a fall-back grad school plan in France set up.
It is kind of hard to let go of the dream though ! So I might re-apply. I think my main mistake was not sufficiently tailoring my SoPs to each school. I was kind of too "shy" to blatantly bring forth the names and research of professors. It was kind of hard to figure out (as an international student) what exactly is expected of the American SoP... And I don't think the subject of my writing sample necessarily showed me as the best fit.
Anyway I have learnt so much that I feel like I could definitely make a much better application. If anyone is in a similar situation (or has advice !) feel free to reach out
Hi! I'm also in France. What's your backup? Did you find a decent comparative literature program here? Because I've been looking around for the past two years, but haven't seen anything quite like the programs American universities offer. Where are you studying right now? I actually got into two programs so far, but I'm not sure the funding is going to be enough. Which are the two schools you haven't heard from yet? Message me if you want to talk more!

@NNnantes hi! where did you get in so far?
Hi! I got acceptances from Bloomington and Oregon so far. I don't think either are great with funding... How about you?

I keep checking the website (maybe too much hehe) and I just keep finding: Application Decision - To date there is no decision on your application. As soon as a decision is available we will update this page
NNnantes, I hope we are lucky enough to get in, it's like my dream college and the program is just a perfect fit
the admission process should be more transparent
Let's keep in touch about it - I'll let you know if I hear anything! It's also one of my top choices. I spent a year there as an exchange student, it was amazing. I'll really hoping something comes of my application this time. Where else are you applying?
-
Had two acceptances so far - but no info on funding. Torn between the amazing feeling of actually having been accepted somewhere and the anxiety of not knowing if I'll actually be able to afford going to grad school. And still waiting on four other responses. Been binge watching Netflix and eating way, way too much chocolate these past days, instead of writing my Master's thesis, haha. But this forum is amazing, it's so great to read about everyone's stories! Good luck for the waiting, everyone!! At what point should I give up waiting to hear from my last universities???
-
Yep, that's my fear as well. I got an interview with UPenn, but haven't heard anything back so far. Haven't heard ANYTHING from Emory, or from Washington. It's the worst when they just don't leave you in the dark. I wish they would inform us if they are not even considering us. I'm keeping my fingers crossed for ND though! Are you wainting on any other universities??

Oh bummer
you still have 7 to go, so I'm sure you will be accepted in some of them. In my case I just applied to ND and to another one in Ireland, so I'm like super scared Im gonna be rejected. Notre Dame literature interdisciplinary program looks great, it's a pity they don't even give us a chance to have an interview!
I'm not sure ND actually does interviews - they didn't last year. So maybe no news at this point is good news. That's what I keep telling myself

Hey guys I'm kind of freaking out reading about interviews and stuff. I didn't get an interview myself.
Do you know anything about the PhD literature at Notre Dame?
Hey!
I've applied there too - haven't heard yet. If it helps, I applied there last year also and didn't hear anything back until the end of March....
I'm also waiting on Emory, but I saw a few people already got back acceptances. Anyone else still waiting on them or do you think I've been rejected?
