Does anyone know if University of Washington offers interviews? Has anyone heard back from them?
-
This is my second cycle applying for PhDs and I ended up at a fully funded Masters with a TAship and an additional award. I came into this cycle from a very dark place last cycle. I've been a public school ELA teacher for the past 5 years (without a Master's), and desperate to realize my dream of a PhD program but feeling stuck and unappreciated as an educator. My research interests are in Rhetoric and still K-12 focused.
I'm very happy with the program I ended up with. It was absolutely about "fit" more than anything else. I really didn't think that a fully funded Master's program with a TAship was even in the realm of possibility because they seem so difficult to find, especially after COVID. But I'm excited to be a part of a program that is excited to have me!
I guess I'm writing this because it is what I would have appreciated reading as I scoured these forums this cycle or last cycle. I hope everyone else ended up somewhere they are happy with as well.

Is it pretty rare to hear back about a waitlist over a weekend?
-
UW just sent me an email saying they had reached their quota and I didn't make it off the Waitlist. I'm so bummed!

Just heard from the DGS from my waitlist school, and they basically confirmed that almost no one has committed or declined yet. You may be right that we are all waiting to hear about other schools!
This is what I've heard from a POI as well. It is so frustrating because it feels like everything is at a standstill. I know that movement is expected closer to April 15th.
-
This is a long-shot, but is there anyone here who has been accepted with funding to UW-Milwaukee who is considering turning it down?
But happy Friday everyone! I know this waitlist game has been long and still has over a month until it's over. Hang in there!

I declined my offer from UW last week, so maybe they’ll be reaching out soon. Good luck!
Thank you so much for sharing! Would you mind also sharing which track you were in?
-
Is anyone else here waitlisted at University of Washington? I think I am the only one who posted on the board, so I'm curious.

Turned down my offers at UW-Madison and CUNY today.
Congratulations on multiple offers! Have you accepted one?

Literature and Culture track- And yeah, I applied to A LOT more programs this year than I did last year. And though I also did a lot of work on my applications between then and now, I definitely feel like more applications paid off.
Congratulations! I applied for Lang & Rhetoric. It is such a beautiful school!

Hello all- early modernist here! Was waitlisted at USC and Notre Dame last cycle and didn't make it off those lists. This year I've got
Acceptances from UC San Diego, University of Connecticut, and University of Washington
Waitlists from: USC, UC- Davis, CUNY, UT Austin, WUSTL, and one of those long waitlists from UNC Chapel Hill
Some rejections and some schools still pending.
Thanks for making this thread! Which track are you in at UW?
I am still waiting to hear back from 3 programs, but so far I am waitlisted at University of Washington and in for the Masters program at UW-Milwaukee but waitlisted for funding. I am hopeful about this cycle after a shutout (only 4 applications) last cycle!

This is a long-shot but has anyone heard anything from Stanford's MTL program?

Has anyone else heard anything from the University of Washington? I saw one acceptance on the results page today
My phone won't let me click the "Submit Results" tab so I haven't been able to submit my own result yet, but I got an email stating I had been put on the Waitlist. I applied for the Language & Rhetoric track. The email said 4% of applicants were admitted. This is my dream program so I am really hoping that I get in eventually!
-
I'm still just waiting anxiously to hear back from UCI and anything from anyone about UW. I know they sent a top 15% email last year...
- Hard times! and s.renteria

Has anyone heard from UCI? In the past several years they have sent interview requests around this time.
-
I'm excited to see all these UNC acceptances on the board!
I did not apply to this school, but it seems that they have released results earlier than in previous years. Has anyone noticed this with other schools?
I haven't heard back from schools either way this year, but in my handful of rejections last year, each one mentioned the drastic increase in applicants. Has anyone heard from programs about a similar trend happening this year?
Good luck getting through this week!

Did anyone else receive an email from UW late last night about filling out a required sexual misconduct declaration? The email says that it does not predict future admissions decisions, but I did not receive one last year and I remember others on this forum had discussed receiving this email. They could also very well just be requiring all applicants to fill out the form this year!

I'm not exactly in this group, but adjacent--I taught middle and high school before pursuing an MA, now a PhD. I personally felt so out of the loop with the discipline of English that crafting a "relevant" SOP and writing sample that engages in current discourse for PhD apps felt very out of reach (when I was still teaching), and my MA has been so informative, enjoyable, and edifying. Though I also wasn't an English major in undergrad, which is probably relevant.
This is so helpful to hear! I feel this disconnect as well. Did you recently complete your MA? And were you able to complete it while also teaching? I thought going straight for the PhD would be the best route for me, but now I'm considering other options.
-
It feels so good to hear about everyone who has gotten in, especially people who have stuck it out for multiple cycles! I am so happy for you all.
Does anyone have experience going from teaching middle school/high school after undergrad and then straight to a PhD program without doing a Masters? If so, I'd really appreciate any advice!

UofW is really the last school I am holding out hope for. Did anyone who applied for the Language & Rhetoric track recieve an email about being in the top 15% of applicants?

Argh sorry about all this admissions crypticness-- I'll just paste the bulk of the UW email here for the sake of transparency, I'm not sure about state resident status:
"I am pleased to let you know that your application has been advanced for consideration into the second round of our review process. The applications included in the second round of review represent just under 15% of our total applications for admission to the Literature and Culture track, so this is a significant achievement, although it is important to note that we have not yet selected our finalists and this letter does not constitute an offer of admission. We expect to communicate final decisions on or around February 18th. In the meantime, as we continue with our ongoing review of applications, we need to ask that you please submit to the UW Human Resources department as soon as possible and no later than February 4, 2021, the form explained below.
The University of Washington is committed to ensuring a safe environment for all members of the UW community. As a part of that commitment, and in recognition of Washington state law, candidates for employment are required to complete a sexual misconduct declaration (see attachment). This includes prospective graduate students who might be offered employment-based funding with admission.
To ensure continued consideration for student employment, please complete the sexual misconduct declaration as soon as possible. Make sure you complete all sections and attach your electronic signature."
Thank you so much for sharing this. Did anyone who applied for the Language & Rhetoric track get a similar email?

I don't know if UW's COE has released acceptance for other tracks. I haven't seen anything posted for Ed Policy, only Learning Science.
