  1. I am with you. I thought it might be an implied rejection...but I haven't received anything from them yet.
  2. I am about to email my POI in Upenn about an discussion on his book... But now, I am afraid that he will tell me initially:I am sorry... I mean...It will be awkward if both of us avoid talking about the results...He is the one encouraged me to apply to Upenn and other top programs, but...look how I get rejected by half of them.
  3. Thank you engphiledu, I don't want to have that kind of financial burden for my family neither. Wish me good luck to get admitted in any funded program!
  4. Thank you for this! I can assume it is a implied rejection... Congratulations to you! I just watched their Open House recording on the Youtube days before.
  5. Does anyone know about University of Stirling from UK? I applied by coincidence and got admitted in The Gothic Imagination MPhil, but...it's a MA program without funding, I don't know if it worth the money, or will help me with further Ph.D application, because Gothic Lit is kind of my reading interest, not one of my academic interest.
  6. @jungThug It claims to have 20 out of 200 on the website of English Department. Does CUNY offer MA?
  7. Hi,there. I checked my portal too today, no information about the application status, just the materials checklist. I don't know if they have sent out all the acceptances. But there are 4-5 acceptances posted on the page.
  8. Oh, I should let you help me to ask if all the acceptances have gone out. hhha
  9. To make you feel better, compared to you, I am not competitive at all. BA in Economics, MA in Comparative Lit, GPA different from the way you calculated in the USA. YOU WILL BE AN EXCELLENT PHD STUDENT. And I...need to focus on my MA thesis right now, the whole application thing make my life stagnant.
  10. Let's behave well for two more days! And then get some rewards from UMN!
  11. Mine is too, should I sleep now???? I can't fall asleep with the "within one bussiness day" notification! @crugs
  12. @crugs All my college friends admire me for taking a MA postion in the top university in China. So I am not looking forward to finding a job at this time. Because in China, when you start working, parents will ask you to date someone, to marry someone, and then have a baby. So this year is very important for me. If I get any acceptance, I can away from these pressure for at least 5 years!!! I can go to parties, travel to foreign countries...do anything I interested in but never experience before. I feel optimistic when I think about these, but turndown so quickly after checking the result page.
  13. People who are courageous enough, acknowledging that life is rife with pain and conflict, just as it's filled with compassion and joy. But people like me, just take the acceptances as the most indispensable achievements at this point. Fear to lose, or go through a second time.
  14. My parents are very supportive and they paid for the costs of applications and GRE, TOEFL tests. That's why I feel upset when they say: You applied to 15 programs, at least one will accept you, right?---I hate to disappoint them.
  15. Thank you Warelin, Yes, it is a tough game. You pay, you play, but you dare not to ask: why not me? why it took you so long to reject? Hi, crugs. I choose to say:Still waiting for good news. Only one official rejection----But I know the truth, and I am very pessimistic. I don't tell other family members about my applications, and they keep asking me: "Do you get a job?", "Have you met some guys?"
  16. @HumanCylinder @Warelin Hi, since you two applied last cycle, I want to ask that...Can you remember one year ago when other applicants put their offers on the result page while you didn't hear anything from that same program? Some people say we can consider this situation as implied rejection, but if this is the case, I seem to be rejected by 1/3 of the programs I applied to. Can't stop worrying about being rejected by all the programs.
  17. Penn State already? Congratulations!Still waiting...
  18. Hi Wyatt, I am considering to contact my POI at this time, because I saw someone said "ProfXXX offers me a MA position instead" on the result page. I just want to ask my POI if he can offer me an interview. But, I agree with you. I don't know if this is appropriate and if this will interfere the review procedure, any suggestions?
  19. Someone claimed that more people will be notified on Monday by PSU, does anyone hear any good news from the department today?
  20. 1 out of 5, still, compared to other programs who claim they only have several places, highly possible to get in. I just don't know how things gonna happen to other programs. Seems I lost my best chance.
  21. Thanks for your comfort, imogenshakes. Today is Chinese New Year's Eve, I think it is better to forget about the rejection, instead, keep optimistic and carry on. I contact 2 Ph.D students before, using the info. on the English Department website. One told me she quit 2 years ago. One told me she graduated last year. So, seems UWM doesn't update their current students' info. One of the reason I think UWM is a great program is that professors and students there are very nice to reply my e-mails. Congratulate to you again!
  22. I think @eadwacer and @Chburdick gave you answers already. To make you feel any better, my status hasn't change into final review yet.
