That's good to know. Thank you!

Is this normal if I still have not heard anything from a program I applied to in December? It's a US program so I assume they go by the 4/15 deadline...

I feel you. I'm also waitlisted by two programs (and ghosted by one). The next few weeks are gonna be painful, and that's an understatement.

That's really inspiring! Thanks for sharing! Wishing you all the best as well ?

Good to know! Thank you so much! Also, congratulations on getting into UCSD!! So happy for you :)

If I still have not heard from a program (applied in December), should I reach out to them now or should I wait until April? I know that both rejections and acceptances have been sent out weeks ago. I imagine I'm on some invisible waitlist. Or maybe my application fell under the table and they never got a chance to read it. lol

Thank you! Congrats and best of luck with your future research!

Thanks for the update! May I ask if the Davis offer you declined was for English or Comp Lit? Thanks!

Sending you love and support! I'm also an international student with many theories about why I haven't heard back from certain programs. Maybe they have some secret invisible waitlists, who knows. At this point I just don't care anymore (jk, I still do care lol).

No update for me either. May I ask If you also applied to their comp lit program by any chance?

wow!! Congratulations! That's wonderful! I haven't heard from them. I think I'm waitlisted, but I'm not feeling super hopeful at this point.

Got an email from Rutgers asking me to complete a survey. Does this mean anything? Guess not lol. p.s. This survey is actually asking for a lot of personal information. Is this a scam? Did anyone else receive it?

I just want to say that I love your username!

According to the results page, Yale only takes 3 applicants this year, and Stanford only takes 2. I'm starting to think that this might be the case for most literature programs this year, unfortunately. Spent my day thinking about other (nonexistent) career paths and potentially reapplying next year. ?

That's very good to know! Thank you so much for your advice! I just heard back from the program coordinator who said that an unofficial e-transcript would suffice for now, and an official one sent from the institution would be required if they decide to admit me. Glad that they are being so flexible this year!
