Aaaand a no from Duke.

i am curious to know how those programs are funded. Through TA jobs? Or easily obtainable fellowships or grants? I mean compared to PhD programs?

Oh, okay! I should have looked at your info better Yeah I did but for complit.

You haven't heard from Berkeley, yet?

Yes I'd say that too. The only thing is, that Duke usually seems to send answers earlier than Feb 4, which is probably why @ThePomoHipster is even more desperate than I am!

Huh? They online accept one person/year? @ThePomoHipster

Congrats to the latest accepted GC-ers! Anyone heard from Duke?

Bienvenido/a in my world!

Interesting. I hope you'll get in, if it's the right fit and all, of course! It really seems to be a wonderful campus. But everything progressive is my thang. I see another complit applicant did not survive the Berkeley cut. I'm feeling a little less lonely now.

Ugh--I don't know, honestly. I guess it is? Did you apply to Berkeley, too?

Well, I asked for it! Got my rejection from UC Berkeley. Darn it

I know, I know @Wyatt's Terps. It was stupid, and I myself have advised against it. But I'm feeling really down and truly depressed and I don't know how to deal with this state.

Ugh! I hadn't seen that earlier and sent an email to the grad office... I'm so stupid. Gotta resend an email to apologize.

Ffff... Needing to vent: Berkeley is my dream school and I just know that if I haven't heard from them by Monday evening, it's hopeless! And: seeing comp lit results is starting to make me anxious and realize how tiny my chance is to get into a program. So honestly @imogenshakes be content you at least know you're entering a program next fall!! I don't want to sound bitter though, truly I'm not. I'm very happy for those who received positive results, I know the process has been strenuous for everybody!

Congratulations!!

Congrats! Yes very lucky!! Am I allowed to be sad, now? Lol

I have a post-it on my wall (which I should probably copy to keep in my wallet) with reactions, courtesy answers and questions written down

I like this topic.

Ugh. It's more about wanting to be able to plan the upcoming months... I see the board has a few answers but maybe there are no other Berkeley Comp Lit applicants on Grad Café

@crugs the same thing would have happened to me--I would have misinterpreted, my mon would have explained, and then I would have felt both flattered and sad!

I don't know... Berkeley for instance was supposed to send answers by end of Jan. if I refer to an email I received. I think we're very few on GC so who knows if some have already received answers? Bleh~

Okay, now I'm basically almost-near-close-to convinced I'm rejected everywhere!

Erhm--I'm not sure you'll find the help you need, since it's also your job to do the research But basically, all PhD programs are usually fully funded. That's why they're so competitive!

Okay, comp lits. The real waiting has begun!!

Yeah... hope so. Didnt some organization sue him for conflict of interest?
