Post Declines and Acceptances?
Joe Christmas replied to EKPhrase's topic in Literature, and Rhetoric and Composition
Today I declined funded spots at Georgia, South Carolina, and Louisiana State. I have an MA, so these were all for a PhD. Good luck everybody! -
Well said. I applied to SMU for several of the same reasons. The newness of the program is a bit of a mixed bag. Coming from an established MA, the ability to mold and shape a new program seems exciting. There is of course the dismal job market, and I've had a few of my professors tell me it attending an unestablished PhD could be a potential risky move. Regardless, I hope a spot opens up for you!

Hi Nighthob, The recruitment visit is this coming Monday and Tuesday. Hopefully some people will drop off afterward! May I ask why you're so set on SMU? Does the newness of the program bother you at all?
