Here Comes the Sun/ Waitlist Movements
caliguy replied to Warelin's topic in Literature, and Rhetoric and Composition
anyone have any info about the maryland waitlist at this stage? -
hey! i applied during my senior year (this cycle) for financial/personal reasons and while it is A Lot, i think it's worth it if you have profs who know you saying that you've got a shot and you're pretty sure it's what you want to do. you might be slightly less competitive because you're younger/didn't take a year off/whatever, but grad school is pretty much a crapshoot anyway, so what really matters is that your application materials are strong enough to speak to your abilities and your passion. i had to rush to finish my senior seminar paper early so that i could use it as a writing sample

dress code for visits??
caliguy replied to caliguy's topic in Literature, and Rhetoric and Composition
i mean, if it's casual and it's what you'd be most comfortable in, i think go for it. just don't be too stiff personality-wise? you're admitted anyways -
