Hello all!
I have been lurking for the majority of the season thus far, but I got some responses that may be of use to any Comp/Rhet people who applied to schools in the Southeast.
On Thursday, I got an email from the Grad Director at Clemson who mentioned the advisory committee was meeting to discuss who to admit to the program. No information as far as a timeline goes, but I guess it's still in progress for anyone still hoping for that program.
Additionally, I called the grad school at University of South Carolina about an oddity on my application portal and ended up speaking with someone from the English department. It turned out I was accepted (hurray!), but the comp/rhet acceptances are coming through postal mail like the literature acceptances, so some comp/rhet acceptances should be making their way through the mail soon.
Congrats to everyone's acceptances and successes thus far!!
