Sorry to bug you, but is your friend coming from her BA or MA? I'm crossing my fingers they pluck me off the waitlist!

Hi. I know I'm being annoying...but...any chance your friend has notified Tufts that she is declining?

I'm sure this has been posted elsewhere in this 65 page deep thread, but:

 

PSA: If you've accepted, tell every school you haven't been denied at about your decision! It helps us poor sods in funding/waitlist purgatory.

 

Amen!!!!!

Thank you. But keep your fingers crossed - you're on the Tufts waitlist and you got into BU's MA program. Things are still moving forward, right? I'm going to go to Tufts on the 16th; will you be there?

I sent you an email @manals

Yes thank you! I will be there on the 16th! Are you definite on Tufts or still deciding?

I'm sorry about that - it's very sucky news. :-(

How did you find out? I still haven't received any notification.

Email to check website. Form rejection  letter.

That's wonderful news! Good luck. And no, unfortunately, I have still not heard from Brandeis or BU. I wish they'd let me know soon because I do want to make a decision now.

Brandeis is killing me! I think I have checked my email and that website a thousand times..today alone! Are you going to the visiting days at Tufts?

Hi, I'm new here and wanted to say hello. I'm sorry I'm posting this now, but I wanted to let you guys - especially @BLK1222 and @ShakesRos - know that I did receive an acceptance from Tufts' English Lit PhD program on 2/15/2016 and a rejection from Northeastern's PhD on 2/21/2016. I'm ecstatic because Tufts was one of my top 3 schools - my main fields are Postcolonial Theory & Lit and Global Anglophone Literatures - and they were the first to reach out and put me out of my waiting misery. I am still waiting on the PhD programs from Brandeis, Boston University, and Boston College, so I'll let you know when I hear something. I'm sorry that I don't know what the best thing to do is, but maybe email Tufts to ask since they have made decisions. I hope you all get good news - Good Luck!

Hi! I was just waitlisted for Tufts! Have you heard from Brandeis?

I'm with youuuuu! I've been waiting to hear from Brandeis FOREVER! I really, really, really, want to work with John Plotz!

I pray both of us receive our acceptance emails tomorrow!

I can't believe we haven't heard anything. This is torture!! I will say that prayer for both of us too!!! Keep me posted and I will do the same! You too @Wearywary !

Thank you! Yes, you're right, it is crazy that there aren't many Tufts notifications. I swear at one point I thought that they accepted me because I was the only applicant, but my husband put a stop to that nonsense.

I'm sorry you didn't get into the BU PhD program, especially since you said it was your top choice. But their MA looks really good and that's a great program to get into. Did you apply to other PhD programs? I wish you luck on them.

Hi! Yes I applied to the Tufts and Brandeis PhD programs. I emailed Tufts today, so hopefully I will hear soon. I think Brandeis should be notifying this week from what their website says. Fingers crossed for one of them! But, if not then BU MA it is.

Hi! Congrats on Tufts!!!  I emailed Boston University and the GSC told me they already sent out acceptances. They denied me the PhD, but accepted me into the MA ( which I'm pretty sure they do for everyone, though I could be wrong).  It's crazy that I haven't seen many Tufts notifications or even waitlists. But I'm still holding out hope. Keep in touch and I will do the same!

Thanks for the update! I figured it'd be between the two schools I got into early this season. Now to choose!

Congrats on the acceptances!!! Good luck

I just asked the same thing and just saw this. I applied there also. Let me know if you hear anything!

Has anyone heard from Tufts or Brandeis PhD programs?

Still waiting on official word from Michigan, Boston, and Columbia. Ugh, I just want to rip the band aid off and have done with it! 

Hi! So I caved and emailed BU. They said all acceptances have been sent out. They rejected me and offered me the MA. Sorry for the news.  Good luck with the rest of your apps!

Sadly no--I was particularly interested in William Huntting Howell and Maurice Lee, but I didn't get a chance to get in touch. 

I applied previously and was waitlisted, and the professors and admissions folks were honestly just lovely to speak to throughout. It struck me as a very supportive place. 

I talked to a Prof a few months back and was told they were only taking 5 candidates. So, I guess as far as GC goes, there are still 4 spots

That's what I'm wondering! It says they received it on the 22nd--I'm less hopeful at this point :/

From my understanding, it's not appropriate to call or email for a result. Other GCers can confirm or deny this, but it's what I've heard.

I'm going to try and resist calling until April if I don't hear anything. Did you connect with any Profs at BU when applying?

I'm dying to know about this acceptance too! This is my top choice and I'm a little nervous I haven't heard anything yet

Any BU applicants here? I remember hearing from them mid-month last time I applied, but so far nothing. 

Hi! I applied to BU. Just noticed someone put up an acceptance from the 22nd. I'm half tempted to call or email, but I don't even know if that's frowned upon. 

 

Who was the BU acceptance?!
