Could I do 2 and 4 please? I have not started school yet but I will in the fall and I LOVE my field

Ooh good idea!! I'll contact them Thanks for the tip!

I'm gonna be out of the country -- that is why I am worried ? Also never found a house before it will be my first time adulting

when should i think about moving and housing options?

I already emailed and called them multiple times about this and they just told me that everything is okay or did not respond. I am also alarmed and confused by this.. There was one official form that I signed but that was it. I hate bureaucracy and I have this feeling that I will continue to suffer with it even when I do get accepted...

No I didn't and I asked them multiple times how to do so but they never replied.

Ever since I was accepted, I heard little to no news from the school. They didnt even send me a proper funding package. I expressed my interest to attend and now I am worried that it will turn out unpleasant. Is it possible for schools to withdraw their offer?

so stressful

Me. I was advised not to but was also told that if I am going straight from an undergraduate program, I will be competing with other people applying straight from an undergraduate program. So everything is put in perspective.

Thanks for all the replies! Very encouraging in many ways. Wish everyone a better cycle, sooner or later.

I know it is not completely over, but anybody already thinking of reapplying next year? I dont know if I can go through this process again, to be honest. It was so stressful just waiting for results, especially knowing that the chances are slim. But getting a PhD and becoming a professor someday also feels like something I desperately want. I don't know. Maybe it is too early to feel hopeless. Would appreciate some insights from those who are reapplying or have reapplied.

You know, if I ever become a professor, I am going to remember this pain and discomfort just waiting for the rejection and make sure that students hear from my school ASAP. But probably because I know what that is like, I might never make it to be a professor. Big sad.

OMG that's amazing! Congratulations

Also someone already claimed one spot earlier in January. Though i think it might be misinformation. Fingers crossed for all

don't they only accept people after an interview? I already moved my projection to rejected

did you get an interview?

Rejected from Princeton!!! I honestly thought I had a good chance because I had a professor there with a very specific interest. But oh well. wonder who got in though.

omg 2 spots. that actually sounds scary

Wish you a better news soon :<

English or Comparative Literature?

YEESSSSSS I am also PoC and I've heard many things about minorities making difference in the academia. my prospectives are also not the best but I want to persevere, just thinking about how much difference our presence is going to make. Wish you the best!

but it also looks like a real CASH Cow program

I expect a huuuuuuuge comeback. or not

too bad. im also rejected from northwestern and referred to maph. maybe I'll see you there? But not sure if I can afford the program.

Cry and play video games in my mom's apartment. Then maybe do some volunteer work I've always wanted to do but couldn't because of school.
