2018 Acceptances
Crow T. Robot replied to ashley623's topic in Literature, and Rhetoric and Composition
Ahhh congrats, everyone!!!! Sounds like another great news day for so many!! -
Anyone else apply to MCM this cycle? Thoughts on when we might hear back? The program is maybe not the best overall fit for me, but Joan Copjec is my idol, and it would be insane to study with her...

Thanks, @Warelin!! And yep, good call; that's one of the shreds of hope onto which I am currently holding. Multiple shreds is better than single shred, and certainly better than no shreds. -

Sorry to spam this entire forum with my unhealthy Duke Literature obsession, but I just got an email response from the DGS informing me that I'm on the waitlist!!!!!!! Not exactly the news I was hoping for, and I know my chances of getting in off that list are low (but not zero--it's happened before!), but the dream is alive. @Mellowyellow -

Right, that's my fear. Still, I interpreted what the DGS said last week to mean that we could expect to hear back this week either way, whether we make it to the next round or not... that's the strange part, and also the cause for my small sliver of unreasonable hope. But alas, it is probably not to be. -

Also, apologies for the triple post and sorry for the delay on this, but @mk-8, @unicornsarereal, and all other Austin acceptees, definitely feel free to PM me with Austin questions! I'm pretty new to town myself, but I'll do my best to answer em. -

On another, more desperate note, does anyone know if Duke Literature is done notifying? @Warelin? I interviewed last week and the DGS said I could expect to hear back this week... nothing. At least one person got an email from them last night with an invite to the next-round in-person interview. Should I give up hope? Duke Literature is my absolute dream program and I've worked for the past, like, 2 years to try to get into there specifically and I'm not sure when to give up. -

Congrats, @M(allthevowels)H and @FreakyFoucault!!!!!! I am late to this party, but..... I also got accepted to Rice!! Couldn't return the DGS's call since I was at work and almost nobody in my office knows I'm applying to PhD programs... but I am very excited! I've visited Rice before for a grad symposium and I adore their department. -

@Mellowyellow, woo!!! Massive congrats!! I saw the Chicago acceptances on the survey and was hoping you were one! @punctilious, congrats to your husband! Definitely seconding/thirding/fourthing the wishes that someone in his field will bail. It's also cool that they let him know his position on the waitlist! @midwest-ford, yay, congrats! Western MA--especially the Pioneer Valley--is one of my favorite areas ever, and UMass seems like such a great program. @pronountrouble, congrats! I grew up just a few miles from BC and have nothing but great things to say about Newton. And congrats to anyone else I missed!! -

Yo @Mellowyellow! Mark Hansen told me during the interview that they should be notifying at some point this week, but I'm not sure exactly when those notifications are gonna come down the line over the week. Any intel on which specific weekend that might be? I'm hoping it's not the 16th-17th because I'm at a conference then, but I'll cancel pretty much anything for Duke...........- 38 replies
