Anyone visiting UW Madison and getting in early? 

Anyone visiting UW Madison and getting in early? 

In at Yale. My one admit of the season. I'm speechless.

I’m in at Rutgers!

Just got accepted at Penn! Got a call from the DGS, and he said he has more phone calls to make, so there's still hope!

I got into UConn PhD (not on the board yet). I received the email about 6-7 hours ago. I don’t even know what I’m feeling. I’d completely accepted another shut-out and was talking myself into alternative plans that now it doesn’t seem real and I don’t think it has even hit me yet. 
For future reference, it is a 5 year offer to TA from Y1. Specific duties will be sent in the future. I’m an African-Americanist. If anyone wants info PM me. Also if anyone has info on UConn (like CoL, campus, etc.), please PM me, too.
Thank you to everyone who was supportive through this process. Other than my wife you’re the first people I’ve told.

Just got into Brandeis! Got a call from faculty member, still shaking...

In at Princeton! wtf.....

i got into Michigan!!!!! my first offer!!! i cried at work!!!!!!

Can do this weekend!

Given that @gloriagilbert will only be here for a little while,  should we try and have a meet-up this weekend?

hmmm hm in at yale comp lit hmmmm
 

If any of y'all are in Paris over the summer (June-late August), I'll be there working on some research at the Sorbonne. Would love to meet up irl!

will be visiting "a l l c a p s" in Paris in a couple of days and so excited for this

I'm sure none of us are averse to a little interdisciplinarity.

I'm in Paris as well but I applied to History Phds!

Hi all!
@a l l c a p s noticed we were both located in Paris and had the wonderful idea to get together to share app season joys and woes, pre-program preparation, and anything and everything else.
So, is there anyone else in Paris/France who wants to take gradcafe to the real cafes?

I’m one of the UCLA acceptances! Still in total disbelief. I received an email from the DGS outlining my admissions details.

chicago referred me to maph or whatever. meh.

congrats everyone!!
also got an invitation to NYU's comp lit interview day AHHH ?

Can confirm that Chicago has probably made most of its decisions. I just got an informal email from a POI telling me about this fellowship they're offering me and I confusedly asked whether that meant I was accepted! She said yes and added that she was surprised that the administrative gears were turning so slowly.
Anyway, I'm beyond excited and hope everyone will be released from this agony soon!!

Accepted at Johns Hopkins and I am freaking out!!!! ?
 

Long time lurker here:) Just writing to claim the UChicago Comparative Literature acceptance on the board. Received an email from the head of the Admission Committee a couple of hours ago welcoming me to the program.
Excited as this is one of my top choices!

I have a friend who interviewed with Columbia last year and did not get admitted. She told me afterwards that the questions asked of her were with respect to her project and its suitability for the school. I have another friend who did not interview with Columbia and was admitted directly to their PhD in English. It would seem, then, that Columbia does not interview all prospective candidates.
(It should be noted, however: she was an American student, he was Canadian. Perhaps they do not interview international applicants? Hard to tell.)
