Has anyone heard from Yale EALL?

Could be good news! Good luck!

Brown is a bust for me. Good luck, folks!

Thanks for your kind words! I'm still waiting to hear from eight schools, including my BA and MA institutions.

Well, UCLA is a bust, despite my having interviewed with them. Seven rejections in a row, now! Good luck to you all and keep your spirits up!

Rejected by Princeton. Not surprised in the least, but given that I wasn’t interviewed at all, they at least could have told me sooner. Oh well! Onward. Good luck, everyone! (0a/6R/1i/0w/9p)

Me! I hear ya; the wait is agonizing. Like I said earlier, if I'm rejected I'd just like to know.

Still waiting to hear from ten programs. At this point, if I'm going to be rejected (as I expect is the case) I'd rather just know, so that I can move on and start making plans. Anyway, best of luck to everyone!

Looks like some people have heard from UW for interviews. Personally, I haven't heard anything from them yet. Good luck to you!

Northwestern is a no for me; good luck to everyone else who applied!

Congratulations! You may want to see if there is any tuition reduction for the second year. My program gives 50% off tuition in the second year, but I'm not sure if it's the case at Stanford.

Indeed! As an aside, it's somewhat of a relief to know--however strange it may seem now with all this uncertainty--that on April 16 we will (likely) know how it all worked out. What we know on that day may end up changing our lives! Who knows. It's funny to think that it's just a few months away.

Alas, I've only interviewed with UCLA so far. As you can imagine, my expectations for this cycle are pretty much as low as can be. Based on some of the historical data available in the Results section (which we can't take as totally factual), it seems that some programs in EAS/EALC (I'm not sure about Princeton's, but it may be worth checking) have admitted students without interviews. And there also appear to have been some errant decisions rendered already for some programs, which suggests that decisions are not made (or at least not published) all at once. So, there is hope, but only time will tell! Good luck, Justanotheraspirant! I don't know your subfield, but this whole process reminds me a bit of that by which men in imperial China studied for the civil service exams in the hopes of obtaining a position in the imperial bureaucracy. It's a bit of a crap shoot.

I haven't heard from them so far.

My inbox is getting pretty dusty ?

Haven't heard anything from Brown; not sure about NYU. Did anyone else apply to NYU Tisch Cinema Studies?

UChicago reject; good luck, everyone!

Mind asking him for me, too? ?

All we need is one! Keep your spirits up; I'm sure you have good news on the horizon.

Rejected by Berkeley! Good luck, everyone

It's possible that the grad strike situation in the UCs has affected the whole decision rollout process, but that's just speculation.

Has anyone gotten any interview requests recently? Are interviews ever done in February, March, etc.?

Three! Wow. And to think I didn't even get an application fee waiver...

Any news from Northwestern Comp Lit Studies Ph.D.?

Haven't heard anything yet
