Don't know if this is too late, but I live 20 min from Uconn and just finished my undergrad there in May! I've lived here my entire life. If you have any questions feel free to pm me!

Well, even though it's probably bad news, thanks for the info! I won't hold out hope.

I haven't heard anything yet, but I'm on the waitlist for the MA so I'm not sure if I would hear anything. My POI is my advisor from undergrad and she hasn't mentioned anything about a campus visit.

So SO excited for you!!

I'll hope for us both! I'd be so elated

Wishing you luck!! Hope you hear great news on Friday

Thanks so much!

Hey! I just was notified I was #1 on the waitlist for funding. If I get off I am most likely going there, assuming none of my other waitlisted programs end up accepting me. I can always keep you updated!

On the waitlist for Uconn's MA program! Waitlist gods.. if you can hear me.. help a girl out please.

Anybody still waiting on Uconn? I have yet to hear anything from them and I'm thinking of emailing today.

Going to be turning down Boston College MA offer, if that helps anybody

Is anybody else immeasurably worried about this particular upcoming week? I can feel the rejections and disappointment coming already

Worries: I don't get into the program I'm waitlisted at, and if I don't get funding at any of the ones I've been accepted to, I can't afford to go to any of the programs I've been accepted to. And I'd have to repeat this process all over again. Excitement: actually being waitlisted and accepted at some programs. I never thought I would be able to put going to graduate school on my list of accomplishments.

I also asked about overnights and they said they'd let us know if a grad student would be willing to put one of us up. I'm actually staying in Framingham and I'm taking the t into the city, it's much cheaper that way but I live in ct so I won't be coming from an airport or anything. @awildsheep

Yes! I was so surprised at how quickly he responded and how friendly he was. I definitely asked about the Dublin program! That would be amazing. And yeah, I don't know how I missed the program earlier. Fingers crossed for the both of us

Just got notified I was accepted to Boston college's MA program with a 10k scholarship. Was really holding out hope for a spot in the PhD unfounded MA's are just too pricey for me.

Omg for BU? That's so exciting! Let's please

I know we haven't talked really on the forum, but I also applied to villanova's MA program and I was also interested in the Dublin summer program! Irish drama is my thing and the program director was so helpful and friendly! If things work out that way maybe we will be cohort mates

I'm attending the open house! I was also accepted to the MA and waitlisted for the PhD. While the MA is probably too pricey for me to afford, I live rather close so I figured I would go.

I wanted to emphasize here that everyone in this forum has been so sweet and kind!! Thank you to everyone who has helped ease other's anxieties, made calls to schools to help figure out the status of things, and for being so willing to answer questions. Also thank you to everyone who so sweetly congratulates others on their successes! You're all great. I know just reading the forums has helped me so much knowledge-wise but also anxiety-wise.

Yeah still pending! I will double check after 5 I suppose

I haven't even gotten my Uconn one yet today! Ugh.

Ah thank you! I'm hoping that's the case.

Has anyone been in contact with Boston college? Hardly anything on the board and only one acceptance so far...

My main interest is 20th century Irish Literature! If you want to discuss anything feel free to pm me
