I do already have an MA, and where they asked I never opted into consideration for another MA...idk why else they’d be leaving people hanging!

probably most annoyed with programs that’ve already sent acceptances, rejections and waitlist notifications but still have me in radio silence purgatory...

???

JK—just got my rejection email. If anyone is worrying you won’t get in somewhere because a lower ranked program rejected you, DON’T. It’s fit and passion. Good luck everyone!!

Nothing for me

Wheeeere is Michigan??

Impatiently waiting for a rejection from Michigan‘s English/women’s studies PhD...it’s so small there’s barely any data on when they notify

This is actually my own personal conspiracy theory about a ton of schools lol because I assume many of us sit in “idk” piles as acceptances, rejections and waitlist notifications go out.

This is ungodly

Probably just the NYC dreamers ?

Yes! BUT—I’ve spoken to him over the years and it sounded like they are always around 300, and cohorts are large (usually high teens to 20)

CUNY head of admissions told me they got 275 applications for the fall 2020 cycle, just wanted to share.

I went to Cornell undergrad, obviously an incredible English program but I’m happy to talk you down from this disappointment. Onto the next and fingers crossed!

Hah ugh so am I—thank you so much! Rooting for you!

Just got into CUNY by email from a POI. I got my master’s there and it’s one of my top choices, I am really freaking out right now and in disbelief. This process messes with people so hard, I’ve never doubted myself more and I can’t stand that I’m a “just wait, it can happen to you!” person on the forum right now!!!!!! Fingers crossed for everyone, getting to the point of applying for a PhD means you deserve this feeling.

I am sooo jealous that your season is over. Shut out or not, I’m waiting on 8/9 schools and have no patience. I’m tired and sick of the will they won’t they. Congrats!!!!

Paying it forward...my advisor At CUNY is on sabbatical and wrote, re: my impatience/reading of a few acceptances, “I have no idea what's going on at the GC--but I don't think the fact that a couple of acceptances have gone out is meaningful. ”

Ok I was MORTIFIED reading comments on these from years past. Honestly idk if I would’ve applied if I had known about it. I hope for their sake they stopped communicating in that way...

¯\_(ツ)_/¯ hoping they just haven’t made decisions about us yet

Those Davis rejections...not sure if I should be relieved I haven’t heard from them or waiting for my email to come lol.

CUNY acceptances...wondering minds want to know if you’re willing to share your subfields/POIs?!

Feel you. Plus the news / election are NO HELP AT ALL.

Anyone else just twiddling their thumbs at a meaningless day job, no thesis or classes to distract you? Time is moving so s l o w l y

Sooo much solidarity with you! I don’t think I would’ve applied to NYU re: mediocre fit if I weren’t from/trying to stay in New York, but it sucks not having an acceptance for peace of mind right now.

Totally wrote that off as a rejection, which is fine because I want to stay in NY, but thank you!! Idk if I’ll ever be brave enough to start sending emails haha
