AAAHHH!!! HOLY MOTHER!!!!!!! CONGRATS!!!!!!

that's great!!! congrats!!!!!!! now you will start wishing you got rejected instead hahaha keep the faith!! <3 <3

Whether you're male or female, I would have wanted you as my Valentine's i wish i could just tag you and hug you for this amazing heartfelt and warmly posivite post!! you deserve the best!! <3 <3

holy crap!! that's f****** aweome!! congrats!!!!!!! i have no idea how it is when it comes to MA funding (im an international student applyin for a PhD, but I can tell you it's about availability and waitlisting - maybe someone will reject their spot and their money will be yours!) I am not sure at all though, but fingers crossed that this would be the case!!!!!!!! congrats again and keep the faith!

much love to the both of you and all others!! <3 <3 - is there no heart emoji?

more reason to love them, wait for them and stalk them!! vicious!!

hahahahaha beats me!! but there was clear medieval borderline shakesperean anger towards what s/he referred to as mental masturbation in Foucault and Butler (sugarcoating here)

I am not sure that's the case, it could be though. But I remember seeing many active and updated and recent posts elsewhere. but anyway, if you're right, then s/he could be a very bad hacker

Yes!! You can not call! You can! You can do it!

s/he could also be the hacker who brought down this partiucular thread! haha

who's that??!! I read stuff about NYU from a dude/tte who got rejected last year or so, and who dissed Foucault and Butler lol! maybe it's the same person? hahaha

heheh yeah good practice i guess; @Wyatt's Terps, I am not sure it is about patience, as far i am concerned of course! for me, it's about the ambivalence and confusion, and remaining in the "i don't know what's going" phase that is draining and overwhelming. I can wait for months if they can just give a frame of what's to come, even with some caveat. I can be as patient as they want me to be in this case, but otherwise I am not sure patience is relevant

oh come on! I took you for a stalker! what I would do, in a hypothetical virtual world, is stalk these DGS social media activity and try to see where they are, and what it could mean... just a thought that was never "actioned" ..in the past hour...

hahahahahaha well what would calm some nerves is for us to make sure know how the reliable direct source told you - and who that was! otherwise, you're just making it worse hehehe please?

BOOOOOOOOO

Best of luck @Gamb1t, congrats @dopamine_17 and everybody else! I only applied for a PhD in Performance Studies at Northwestern and had an interview with them two weeks ago - should hear back soon!! my academic record is really really average (not a perfect GPA, so not perfect GREs). no publications. work experience in advertising, and DJing. my MA thesis, and my prospective topic however, are on music and plays and discourses of post colonialism through the lens of class. my experience so far, with other English programs I applied for a PhD in, showed to me that program fit makes it or breaks it and that your SOP matters most, along with your WS and LORs. I thought my GPA and GREs would not get me anywhere, but I was able to make it, and I got into my dream school in Literary and Cultural Studies! Still waiting on some others though. As long as this program is absolutely right for you, no imperfection would stand in the way. If the choice is not obviously rational, nor rationalized for that matter, I believe no perfection would make it happen!! It's about what you can offer, and no grade can show that!! I hope the above details I shared prove that, and I really hope everybody finds the perfect program for them!!

congrats!!!!!

is it pathetic that I am still hoping for a JHU acceptance?? hahaha

it's up to you New York come on people!

OMG!!!!!!! congratulations!! also, congrats to whomever will claim the Northeastern English acceptance!!!!! u got a big ball in your court and you ought to enjoy it!!!

Ahh!! congrats!! feels better than a regular acceptance i'm sure!!!!

amen!!!! i just want to ask them what's taking them so long!

Because this is the best and only place where we're all unconditionally accepted Because you guys and girls have been an amazing backbone during and after application season Because this is not just an open house, this is an open home. And because it is only fair to extend our bonds beyond our GradCafe home And because it ain't easy being cheesy...(someone has to be saying that by now) I am writing to suggest, plan and hopefully make happen a virtual Open House for us GCers, whether on Skype or Google Hangouts or anything that works. I have no clue if we can all be on one single video/audio call, but I would love to make it happen, and I am counting on CS or CCE people you might know! Please spread the love and keep the faith! All ideas are welcome, and I hope we can make it! It would be lovely to see and keep in touch with all of you

anybody going to CMU on March 1st and/or 2nd?

congrasts!!!!!!
