SAME! fingers crossed spots open up for us both!!

@WildeThing congrats! Been quietly rooting for you over here Does anyone wanna claim the University of New Hampshire acceptance?

hi everyone! i have 2 questions: 1. the DGS has asked me at what part of my process i'm at. I'm assuming that means she wants to know if i've had other acceptances/ funding offers, yes? 2. i'm unable to attend the prospective students open house at the school i've been waitlisted at (due to a work event). i'd still love to visit the school on my own, do you think i should mention to the DGS? or is it best to just bop around the campus on my own?? thank you for any insight!!

Despite this thread being 3 years old, I've found it immensely helpful, so thank you all! I am currently waitlisted at UMD and very sadly cannot make it to the prospective student open house, so this has helped me get more of a feel for the school/culture than the website offers.

i wonder why umass is rolling out decisions so slowly? it seems all the acceptances were the other day. assuming my "pending" will be a rejection as well. congrats on your acceptances!!

i need to vent about umass amherst bc they are killing me with their "update pending" change today. Plus the few rejections and acceptances on the results... and now my app just updated my "academic plans" column as well. why are they doing this so slowly? in the year of our lord 2019 couldn't they just send out emails all at once?? /endrant

second call to the umass amherst acceptances! i'm dying to know your concentrations? i check my umass portal..oh, about 100 times a day. Been "under review" for a few days and am absolutely dying. I guess I'll know when I know!

That’s every two min which seems totally reasonable to me! I literally placed restrictions on gmail and safari the other day so it cuts me off from checking at some pt... it’s compulsive at this pt.

@hgtvdeathdrive wow super interesting focus!! Seems like a great fit at umass too! Congrats again

Congrats to the umass acceptance! Do you mind sharing your area of focus?

Does anyone have any experience going to open houses? Are they worth the travel? I’ve been invited to one that I’m waitlisted at and would have to take a few days off work to go. Thanks for any insight!!

Yay thanks for making! @tacocat211 fingers crossed for you for UT! I’ve been accepted at temple, waitlist at Maryland, and rejected from northeastern. Still waiting on a few , including my top (Amherst). If nothing else I’d be thrilled to go to Temple, so I’m very happy about that. I’ve been out of school for several years now and I kind of can’t believe this is all happening and I’ll actually be going back to school!

@tacocat211also comp/rhet here! i think we're all just smooshed into this one forum

Did you hear from Maryland this week? Or you have that they are sending decisions? They’re one that I check OBSESSIVELY since it was due so early...

Hi Everyone! I'm applying to English/ Comp & Rhet programs for fall 2019. For my writing sample, I'm submitting a section of my Master's thesis and I'm wondering how to format it. Do I keep the cover page of my thesis so they know it's from a longer work? do I title it instead? Do I put my name?? for my SoP, I'm putting just my name and Statement of Purpose in the header--should I do this for the writing sample as well? I appreciate any insight--I've been out of school for several years and have no one to turn to for advice on small matters like these. Thank you!!
