Hey all. Also very elated to have gotten into RSEA with Xiaofei Tian as my advisor. Have any of the RSEA admissions heard about funding? I was accepted through Email from the chair and was told GSAS will send its own email, but maybe I’m missing something on the portal.

Very happy with all the poetic feedback. @Naito you are quite a craftsman! @lordtiandao thanks for your offer, I will definitely take you up on it if I end up at Berkeley. I got rejected from Princeton too ... womp

Hi all ! As the Spring Festival comes to a close, I find a chance to write here. Congratulations to all of those accepted this past week, and for those among us who have been rejected -- it's such a crap shoot!! I go so insane waiting for decisions, but the one thing that ironically makes me NOT think about checking my e-mail is trying to write old-style verse (key word: trying). Perhaps we could riff on a Spring theme here. I chose to use the "Initial falling tone/rhyming rising tone tonal pattern" (仄起格平聲韻定式), and the eleventh rhyme grouping, which rhymes with toe (十一尤). It was composed on the last night of the Spring Festival to celebrate the arrival of Spring. Can any one can spot the 李白 reference? 傍水春垂欣絮柔 雲霞作客下揚州 青蛙草滿何方是 鳴叫忘返入海流 For translation, I use 14 syllables per line (separating 8/6 with paragraph break), and matching rhymes for lines 1,2, and 4 ... for shits. O' lush the Spring that brook's boughs droop and willow's petal blows. To province south drift pilgrims, there-- the clouds at dusk in rose. Frogs whose chins are hid in grasses, I cannot see but one. Returning not with tide, their song, to ocean out it flows.

Thanks for the info y'all. Yeah I applied to study with Shields at Princeton, but I've only ever read her paper about "the use of nostalgia" or sth in friendship poems between 白居易 and 元稹. I'm in Taipei and it's hard to get my hands on a lot of English scholarship (i.e., most university press books) not on Jstor.

@naito 久仰久仰. Did any other threaders get into the EALC Ph.D at Berkeley? Wondering if there are any other people on the Chinese Language track, and if so what specialization (I too am medieval Chinese poetry的). I saw on the results page one person got in for the Japanese track. Waiting for decisions also rendered me non-functional for about 2 weeks (I admit I resorted to a bit too much 綠酒). 還有, still no results from Princeton? I assume I didn’t get in as interviews went out in early Jan, it seems, but that program wasn’t really a good fit for me as I didn’t know/read much of the professors’ work. Glad to find a forum where people love the same stuff I love! (PS I accidentally replaced my last post with 加油, but thanks for your response!)
