anyone here still waiting to hear from NEU??

Oh big congratulations! I’m happy one of us finally heard something good. I hope you have fun at the admissions event!! I’m waiting for my Fulbright office to let me know, but in the event of positive news I will contact you :))

I wish I could give you a positive answer lmao but congratulations!!! When did you hear?

thank you for the info!! what a bummer tho haha I wish good things for everyone waiting to hear! why would they leave people in a limbo like this if they already have accepts and waitlists sorted 🫠

speaking of Boston schools, does anyone know what on earth is going on w NEU?

yup I hate the rounds as well. hopefully they send out waitlists soon so we can stop being in this weird limbo 🫠

nono it came from a mailing list I’m assuming! it’s like a q&a thing about graduate programs. apart from that, I have heard nothing from them

omg thank you for contacting them!! it genuinely made me v nervous. but end of March?? why not release rejections at the same time 😭😭

did anyone else get an email about an open house from BU?? it lowkey gave me a heart attack

Big big congratulations!! As a non-native speaker myself it makes my heart happy to see others succeed. Hope you treat yourself to something nice today!!

Aw thank you for this! I got a rejection today and your encouragement made me feel better. Congratulations on your offers!

counting myself out UMD since people mentioned interviews on the board and i didn't get one ? anyone here knows what's up?

omg ty for letting me know, I guess we’ll know soon either way! keeping my fingers crossed for the both of us ?

has anyone heard anything from northeastern?

Has any of you heard anything from either UMD or Northeastern?

Has any of y’all heard from UMD? Looking at the past years’ results they should be sending interview invites around this time.

Hii! I feel you, I've also had trouble sleeping. Try to tire yourself out with hobbies! Ik it's hard though. Your field is super interesting! Are you interested in Cherie Dimaline and the like?

Me too! I see, I'll try to keep occupied until then. :')

We might end up in the same city! My top programs are Northeastern and UMD College Park. :)) do you know when we might hear about interviews for Northeastern?

I'm into modernist sapphic lit! I'm a foreign Fulbright candidate and they allow a maximum of 5/6 apps per candidate. As an international student I'm happy I'm not fully on my own this year, but it's still stressful. Do you have a top choice?

I understand, applying to MA programs was fun compared to this ? 11 seems like a solid number though! My situation is a bit different as I was only allowed to apply to 6, so I'm basically trusting someone else with my future (as we are all now, I guess). What is your field?

I know I'm getting really anxious too! Especially since some schools do interviews and I'm scared I'm going to be rejected if I don't get any invites. But I'm keeping a positive mind, lighting a candle, etc. How many schools have you applied to?

Hi!! I'm sure we'll be able to give each other some comfort on this forum. I'm also avoiding bombarding my family and friends with PhD issues haha I'm applying to 6 programs in the US! Maryland, Colorado, Boston, Northeastern, New Hampshire and Missouri. V nervous. Your choices are all alluring!

Hi! I'm interested in translatlantic and sapphic modernism. What about you? I'm also considering schools in Europe but that will be a problem for the Spring if i don't get in anywhere haha

Hello everyone! I noticed that this year the topic is a bit dead, so I wanted to be more active on the forum this time and maybe start a conversation (this is my second cycle). What unis have you guys been applying to? I've selected six, hoping to get at least into one!
