Also if anyone is C20 Brit Lit at UCLA and has a better offer, I'd appreciate if you could let them know sooner rather than later! Feeling very fatalistic / like my remaining schools are p much impossible....

I'm considering UMich an implied rejection, but mainly so I can prepare myself *cries*. UPenn hasn't come out at all yet! I saw someone say that they've done Mondays the past two years, around Feb 20-22... so maybe this Monday.....

I feel you all so hard on this, wow. It's like, I know that things will eventually work out, but it's hard! About a year ago one of my profs told me that no one from my (state) school had ever gotten in to a good PhD program so I might as well not bother applying, and I'm beginning to feel like she was right, that I've been stupid to think that I could break the pattern, etc etc etc. Plus, I think I might be able to imply a Michigan rejection at this point, and I don't want to break it to a friend (of sorts) of mine who goes there. I selfishly wanted to go where he is, and I feel doubly dumb now. Oi.

Do y'all know anything more about Michigan? It's one of my top choices and I'm kind of freaking out. When is it safe to imply rejection? 5 acceptances on GC, no rejections or waitlists..... ugh.....

Ok, I've been lurking in the background, but I had to make an account. I was waitlisted at UCLA! Received two rejections this weekend (Chicago and Stanford), so I'll take anything. Does anyone know anything about how long "short" waitlisted are / how likely it is to move off the waitlist? Also also, does anyone know what's up with Berkeley? I've still heard nothing. . .
