2019 Applicants

Not a bad news at all! Congrats. Hope you'll succeed in getting into the final final round. Since I applied to their comp lit track I really have no idea how the admission process is like. Guess we'll also hear back from them next week then. -
2019 Acceptances

Congrats! I know I should not pin much hope on this top dream program when I did not receive the interview. Having completed my MA at Chicago and taken tons of classes in Comp Lit, I think it'd be ideal to do scholarly work as well as live there. Hope you'll say yes -

Fabulous! No Californian schools on my list this year, cuz I've heard about the lack of funding in those CA schools, especially for international students. I'm sure whoever is fortunate to go there will have a blast though. Best to your applications as well. -

Got it! Very helpful anecdote. Where did your friend end up attending? -

Thanks for the info and encouragement! It's certainly an honor and achievement to be on the shorter list and get the interviews. Best of luck with your interview! -

Congrats! I'm desperate to hear from Columbia as well. May I ask what your areas of interest are, just so I could gauge whether I should expect an implied rejection from this last dream school? PS: In my SOP I indicate interest in working with Prof. Sarah Cole, and my focus is on global modernism (US., UK, China, etc.). Thanks so much! -

I'd love to also share this couplet with 诸君: 峰峦或再有飞来,坐山门老等 泉水已渐生暖意,放笑脸相迎 --张载阳题杭州灵隐寺联

One of my favorite lyrics! Perfect for my scenario as well.

Anyone else doing comp lit?

Got it! Thanks...I'm sure a similar email will be waiting for me tomorrow. -

Hi! So sorry to hear about all our rejections...but I like the idea that these are opportunities for reflection and further growth. I've been dying to hear back from Cornell as well, although I'm pretty sure it's an implied rejection. May I ask whether you received an email about it? -

On the same boat—got the rejection from them as well. Hug... -

May I ask who your POI would be if you were to come to Chicago? My friend takes several classes in the history department, so I've heard some reviews/commentary about a few Chinese/Japanese history professors.

Thank you for the information! Congratulations to you as well, and I hope you'll enjoy the campus visit. My POI was not even on the committee this year, so I don't pin much hope on the acceptance. Fingers crossed that I'll at least be on the waitlist (if they have one)... -

Heartfelt congratulations! It's such a great program, and the campus is gorgeous. May I ask whether you received the campus visit invitation, and, if so, when the visit will be? -

Thank you, Naito! Although most of the remaining seven schools are in "implied rejection" status now, I'll keep waiting...
