  1. No worries, and thank you! I've also been rejected from 6 with 3 more implied rejections. I came to terms with the fact that I may only get accepted into one place, and I'm perfectly fine with that because all it takes is one really! I love that attitude, and I've told myself something similar as well. All you can really do is hope for everything to work out for the best. EDIT: I was not aware of the stuff mentioned by @merry night wanderer! Definitely something to take into consideration. I don't want to misleadingly get your hopes up due to my lack of familiarity with USC's process!
  2. It definitely does. ? I honestly wasn't expecting this much disappointment lol
  3. Ahhhhhh I really wish USC didn't make me download that rejection. I applied for Creative Writing and Literature program btw Good news is that I was between USC and UC Irvine— so I'll most likely end up going with Irvine as my remaining decisions are implied rejections (except UCSB). ? and congrats to everyone who got into this amazing program!!!
  4. I love it! I actually was scared of the book cover in elementary school. ?I didn't read it until a few years later. Equally as amazing!
  5. I adore HP, TGBH and Coraline!!!!!! I believe I've watched Coraline more times than any other movie lol
  6. Welp— just received mine! ?
  7. Same goes for me! I'm down to bother any school upon request.
  8. I finally gave in and emailed Yale because I saw more rejections went out, and they informed me that they're still making decisions. I don't know how to feel?!?!?!?!
  9. ughhhhh arghhhhh whyyyyyyyyy
  10. When inquiring about the status of an application, are you guys emailing the DGS?
  11. Wow, I had no idea! I will definitely reach out. Hope it's not too late, thank you guys so much!!! I'm pretty late to be asking, but I have nothing to lose at this point (except 60 dollars lol)
  12. They do! I visited during the summer program I participated in this summer. I also study queer theory! I did not. I attended undergrad in Delaware, and I've lived on the East Coast since high school. So this will be a pretty big transition for me!
  13. Agreed! That's how I'm feeling about UC Irvine. Options always sound nice in theory (even though I know I'll feel super bad if I have to turn down a perfectly good one). But I just want to enroll already LOL
  14. Thank you! One of my professors ended up not submitting my recommendation, so I'm pretty much out for Penn State (which was odd because she submitted it to other schools). Sucks because by the time she told me that she "never agreed to do that recommendation" and recommended I find someone else, it was past the deadline and wayyy too late to find a new recommender. Which is super disappointing because they have a great joint PhD program.
  15. I was hoping the same thing! This is pretty much the only school I'm waiting to hear back from at this point, and it seems like every schools acceptances are more delayed than usual this year. ?
  16. On the bright side that's one less decision to make! Congrats on JH!
  17. I received an acceptance letter from UC Irvine. Whew!
  18. Never give up! I was in a similar position after being rejected from a lower rank program, and that same day I received a call from a much higher ranked program about my "unofficial" acceptance.
  19. When you try to track the timeline of decisions based on previous years but.... the majority of the schools you applied to are on a completely different timeline altogether?!?!?!?!
  20. Thanks so much! I would love to hear more about your experience so far.
  21. Just got off the phone with the DGS at Irvine! I discovered that they have to conduct some sort of interview before making official offers (it was a pretty informal interview), and that this was as close as she could get to making an official offer. Currently trying to convince myself that this is real life...
  22. Ran out of reactions, but thank you so much!!! ?
  23. Same!!! Like am I not even worthy enough for a rejection email?!?!?! Lol
