I'M SO HAPPY FOR YOU!!!!! See you in March??!!!

I'm sorry but FUUUUCCCCCKKKKKKK, you guys, I am invited to SMU's PhD visit!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am sobbing and screaming and SO THRILLED! Happy birthday to me!!!!!!!

I did it in the second, mainly because I was feeling a whole lot of varied feelings, and wanted to give myself time to process a bit before saying much more than “thanks for the good news, I remain very interested in the program!” However, I see no reason why those questions would be inappropriate in your initial email. I think you should do what your gut tells you! Truth is I think we have a lot less control/impact on these waitlist decisions than we’d like to think

You have a lot to be proud of, having worked through this whole hellacious process and seeing it through to the end. You will dominate next cycle, I have faith!!!

I tend to think of everyone in English as a sort of fairy godperson rooting for students (I had an amazing experience with my department in undergrad), so please take my use of the word “lurking” as a gentle rib

I’m glad you’re here!

To any lurking English professors: please make yourself known so we can pepper you with very annoying questions like what GRE score would make our applications failure-proof and also make not-so-subtle appeals to you to wield your power for good on our current, clearly not failure-proof applications. Thanks.

"Enganglement" made me giggle. I'm kind of gangly and very clumsy so I'm pretty sure I experience enganglement on a daily basis.

Thinking about it! My brother lives up in the 'Couve and I used to live in Portland- I love it there.

I would love some current info on the city, if someone here can help!

I like to think UCLA burned my $105 bill by bill while eating tacos and laughing at some error I didn't notice in my writing sample. But I'm dramatic...

Last year after being shut out I kept having dreams that I'd applied to some east coast school and completely forgotten about it until they emailed the first day of class asking where I was...

Same. I know it was always highly unlikely but I really wanted UCSB...would prefer to just have that band aid ripped off right now, please.

DAMNNNNNNNNN ?

University Of Michigan English, PhD (F19) Rejected via E-mail on 13 Feb 2019 I 13 Feb 2019 report spam GPA is from MA. Next in the seminal series of coping with rejection: cry in the shower, gain 5 pounds, have an icecream tummy, talk to oneself in the mirror, and then go back into the dark abyss of applying again.

I've gotten into two MAs where I applied for a PhD. I'd say wait and see what happens. Good luck!

11:30 am and 1:30 pm pacific time

Hahaha, you're awesome.

Hope your kiddos feel better soon!

That is very good to know, thank you!

I don’t even think my schools do a visit weekend for MA candidates...which is disappointing because I’d love to actually check out Lincoln. It’s a way smaller city than I was hoping to end up in.

That is just cold
