If you don’t mind my asking, what are the two schools? Also, I always say go for the one where you’ll be the happiest. There s no need in making more money if you’re miserable for five or six years on top of being in a rigorous program.

Anyone Want to claim the Davis acceptances?

Is there a list of when schools normally release decisions. There was one floating around a few years ago, but I can’t find it.

This is how I’m feeling about the Penn State acceptance that went up Monday.

Just curious…has anybody heard if apps are up or down this year. I feel like the past couple of years they’ve been at an all time high.

OMG Yes!!! Such a problem. I lived in the Midwest for three years and defaulted to simply spelling my name first because no one seemed to understand me. It actually was a culture shock, and I became self conscious of how I spoke to people. When I moved back South, I forgot simple things like how we pronounce "water" and my own name lol.

Not sure about Virginia, but I saw one PhD acceptance to Auburn last week. I saw another one again yesterday. They may just be sending out notifications over the course of time.

Got accepted to Auburn for their M.A. I originally applied to their PhD, but they recommended I start at the M.A level. I'm from Alabama, so I'm fine with that. I'm excited because this would've made my second year being shut out. Let me know if you're also considering Auburn. Also, I went to law school at IU if anyone has questions about the school or Bloomington.

Vanderbilt’s rejection language: Thank you for your interest in our English graduate program. I am sorry to have to inform you that our review of your application and credentials did not lead to a recommendation of admission. If you have applied to more than one Vanderbilt program, you will receive a separate communication regarding your application to each program. The Graduate School at Vanderbilt University receives applications from many outstanding candidates. Unfortunately, limited resources and competition among well-qualified applicants preclude our offering admission to all who seek it. Please know that your application and supporting materials received a close and careful review. Admissions decisions are difficult, both for faculty who review applications and for applicants who await notification. I regret having to send you this disappointing news, but I wish you every success in the pursuit of your educational goals.

Lol at San Diego sending out rejections at 2:30 in the morning.

Yes, mine disappeared too.... not sure what that means.

Are the two Cornell acceptances and rejection for English or Comp Lit? It seems like they may be the latter. Or just me not giving up hope on Cornell just yet.

Lol I need to stay off the Results page....I’ve been incessantly refreshing hoping the acceptances are sent over time and not all at once.

You too!!

Yeah, me too. Last year, acceptances and rejections went out the same day. Since I haven't received either, maybe more acceptances will go out tomorrow.
