[Fall 2012 Applicant Chit Chat]

Has anyone heard from UCSB? They're really my last hope, but I haven't seen any acceptances/rejections come out from them.

Rejected from Chicago as well, impersonal email blah blah blah.

[Fall 2012 Applicant Chit Chat]

Rejected from UPenn, the possibilities are dwindling.

[Fall 2012 Applicant Chit Chat]

Just got the formal email after speaking to my advisor/POI in person about being waitlisted to Rutgers Newark (American Studies). I'm pretty bummed about this one, mainly because I thought I was most likely going to get in, but the reasoning seems to be lack of funding. Still waiting to hear back from most places, but its seeming less and less likely that they will be acceptances.

Also, is anyone else on here the other waitlist? PM me if you are.

Good luck AFB!!

[Fall 2012 Applicant Chit Chat]

There is no way to describe the intense anxiety, fear, nervousness, and impatience that I am mired down in. I hate junk mail - so much. I kinda want to go pay little kids in the village to call departments and see where they are in the process.

I feel the same way. At this point I would just like to hear from at least one school, to know that they even got my apps.

[What are you reading?]

Currently reading: Eeeee Eee Eeee by Tao Lin, Flying by Ralph Ellison, and All the Pretty Horses by Cormac McCarthy. In terms of more history related stuff, I'm also reading Migrant Imaginaries by Alicia Schmidt-Camacho.

Others???

[Any other year 2 applicants out there?]

This is also my round 2. My first set of applications was 2 years ago, in which I had a relatively lackluster GPA/GRE/Writing Sample to put forth so I'm really not surprised that I only got accepted to MA programs. However, after doing this past year and a half of grad work, I think it has really helped me become a much better candidate. That being said, I have yet to receive any acceptance/rejections and will continue to bury myself in my thesis work till I hear from somewhere. I don't know if my heart can take a round 3, but you never know!

[What will you treat yourself to?]

These are all so great, I think if I get accepted anywhere I will want to do all the above whilst jumping for joy and doing some rendition of the happy dance. But I am assuredly doing several things: getting new clothes, crying hysterically, and getting extraordinarily drunk, not necessarily in that order.

[Down to the wire]

As of now I have yet to hear anything (acceptance, rejection or waitlist) from all 5 of the schools I have applied to. At this point I just want to hear something from any of the schools.

[Who Are You Waiting For?]

I've applied to five and received no acceptances, rejections or wait lists. Has anyone heard from BU, NYU, Stony Brook, or Drew?
