  1. Hi! I just got accepted to present at a panel for the 2022 MLA convention and now I'm terrified! ? I would love tips and feedback from members who have presented there before. What advice do you all have for a first-time conference presenter?
  2. Dude, same! It reminded me of last year (after being shut out) when one of the schools I got rejected from accidentally sent me a welcome letter to their school. Bad form! ? I totally feel your pain, though. Wishing you the best of luck with the rest of this brutal cycle!
  3. If people feel otherwise, please chime in. I definitely don't think it would be wrong to let them know if it is in response to your waitlist email. This is how I framed my waitlist response last year: 1. I thanked them for considering me for their program and told them that I wanted to use this opportunity to share what I have been up to since applications had been turned in 2. I wrote about new accomplishments 3. I reiterated that this was my dream program and that I would eagerly matriculate if extended an offer Again, it might have just been printed out and put in my file, but I think that it showed that I was still actively building my resume even after submitting my applications. Best of luck, though! And feel free to message me if you have other questions on that!
  4. I’m also in the same boat. I know that UVA keeps a pretty big waitlist, so it might be that. I made the waitlist last cycle, but this application cycle is ultra-competitive so I really have no idea what they’re thinking. Just wishful thinking... I have my fingers crossed for all of us!
  5. I've mostly heard people on this forum saying that you don't need to do anything for waitlist emails other than let them know you're still interested in the program, but I did do something a little different last year when I was waitlisted for UVA (albeit, I was still eventually rejected so take my advice with a grain of salt). Per my professor's advice, I used the waitlisted email as an opportunity to share with the DGS what I was able to accomplish in the time since turning in my application. I wouldn't necessarily do that for little things, but during the couple month period in which my application was being considered I had been nominated for a prestigious award at my university. If you've gotten a big award or have been accepted for a publication and it's not included in your application, I would definitely take the waitlist email as an opportunity to share that achievement. Worst case, it does nothing. Best case, it could move you a couple of spots up the waitlist!
  6. Thanks for sharing! I feel it! And it's still so early in the process...I just need one acceptance and I'll ease up a bit I'm sure. Seriously, though, congratulations! A 2-3% acceptance rate is totally insane... Feel good. You fucking earned that!
  7. Ugh... Same. I'm watching all the X-Men movies in order of release. That's right... two decades worth of films. Just trying to distract myself somehow. The WUSTL acceptances this morning have amplified this super dread. Twice as many applications?! Honestly, though, congrats to all who have been accepted, and best of luck for those waiting on good news!
