This was precisely what I'd experienced, because my research interests, as well as the project that I sketched out in my SOP, are rather interdisciplinary and theory-heavy (i.e. if language requirements weren't a barrier, I would've applied to comp lit programs instead). In that sense, to my professors and the POIs who've kindly reached out to me (they were, unfortunately, not on the adcomms; they also, and not by any coincidence at all, tend to hold joint appointments in comp lit departments), my ideas might've made perfect sense within particular theoretical contexts. But in my broader period/subfield, I'm not really sure how well my research translated. If I had to do over this process, I suppose I might've applied to more interdisciplinary departments with my present project (I thought it wasn't sufficiently "out there" for places like Stanford's MTL, but clearly, the feedback I'd received about it has proven otherwise), and perhaps applied to some of the schools on my current list with a more "traditional" set of application materials. Mais on verra...
And ha! Another Deleuzian on here? It seems like there are a couple of us on these forums now!!
Hi there, Can I ask what your WS/what the purview of your research is?
Just curious as another person who works mostly in the theory size of lit departments (though, I did go more down the complit route myself).

I'm on the waitlist at UW and will be faced with a similar decision should I get off. Two of my professors at my current institution (Duke) went there and speak very highly of the program, so it seems like they have a good reputation from what I know. Also Seattle is cool I hear! Never been but def want to go!
Im thinking as of now I wont be accepting my offer at UW, whats your field??

What will the day bring: more Harvard acceptances? Columbia responses? Some news from the infernally silent realms of Princeton or BU? Another Friday of no responses leading up to a weekend of silence from admissions? Pls give me something gods of academe \(0.0)/

Just got another Ma/PhD offer which I am thrilled about ! Nonetheless, seeing Harvard on the board is making me a bit frantic. I have this strange recurring feeling where I want to get into one of the truly "elite universities" of academia more so as a perverse practice in self-affirmation than to even definitively attend. I feel a bit as if imposter syndrome is getting the better of me or something. Any who, this whole process makes focusing on my undergrad assignments hellish!
congrats to everyone whose had good news recently, solidarity with those still waiting.

I'm happy to share a little more about the Penn State offer I received! Was there anything specific you were curious about?
Ah! Congratulations!! So exciting.
Thanks for following up as well.
I suppose you probably wont have direct access to this information given that you were simply notified, but did the dgs happen to mention anything about whether they will be doing a mass admit or a staggered, case by case admissions process over the coming weeks

Any updated information on whats going on with Duke Literature? Is it just assumed that if you've heard nothing you're out at this point?
Also: Any information on the Penn State acceptances available?
Congrats everyone who has heard back with good news! Solidarity with those still waiting.

Also: I am waiting to hear back from a horde of other schools. Has there been any updates on the Duke responses?

Hi everyone,
I have also been a lurker on this thread for a while. I was compelled to go ahead and post by @vondafkossum. (Sorry I am not sure how to directly reply to specific messages in the thread). Any who, I am claiming the first Wisconsin Acceptance to be posted on the leader board type thing. I was notified by UW-Madison via email at around 3:30 yesterday afternoon. Cheers and congrats to everyone who has heard back, solidarity with those still waiting.

I didn't even apply to Upenn but all the anticipatory talk on here over the past 3 weeks concerning when their decisions will be made has made me anxious by proxy, lol. The MA/PhD application process is so toxic for its participants its absurd (I'd do it all over again if I had to, though).
Best of luck to everyone!!
