Hi all
I've been lurking for a week or so and have decided to say hi and give an update. I'm currently doing an MPhil in classical lit. in the UK. I did my undergrad studies in the states and have applied to six PhD programs in N. America: Stanford, Berkeley, Chicago, Toronto, Princeton, North Carolina, Ohio St. I heard Monday that I've been rejected at Ohio St. and yesterday that I've been waitlisted at Toronto. Still waiting to hear on the rest. The Ohio St. message was a short form letter. Seth Bernard at Toronto, however, informed me of the waitlist decision in a very cordial email. I still have my fingers crossed for Toronto and am hopeful that I may still get one or two offers from the other programs. Good luck to you all.
