50/50 on whether I’ll reapply. Still considering with opportunities available and whether now is the time (wanting to do it close to finishing my Master’s but already adjunct teaching). -

I’m so sorry they did this to you!! This is cruel and unprofessional in my opinion, hope next season is kinder to you ❤️ I’m applying to adjunct in my area as I’m also preparing for my one waitlist to turn me down so right there with you- 309 replies

Concordia emailed me yesterday (first the dept’s graduate coordinator, then the form letter). Rejected due to lack of funding/they were unable to fully fund me and stated they don’t accept applicants unless they can fund them. Looks like my first season is ending (unless Illinois turns that waitlist to an acceptance like a doctoral program dark horse). Looking into adjunct community college jobs near me (I have an MFA and a master’s in Childhood Education and TESOL so could apply to adjunct positions in any of the three at a community college).- 309 replies

Mid-Friday my time so late afternoon Friday Montreal time, the portal for Concordia updated to say my file has been reviewed and I will hear a decision soon. 🤞(fingers crossed) that means good news coming soon- 309 replies

One month until the big PhD admission decision deadline. Maybe tides will turn in my favor (Illinois hopefully turns my waitlist into an acceptance and/or Concordia accepts me)- 309 replies

Thank you for sharing this! I applied to McGill and Concordia. Finally got McGill rejection yesterday. Who knows when Concordia will release. Some of these unofficial notifications are brutal. Also confused why those not accepted or waitlisted (thus, rejected) receive news in waves??- 309 replies

Went to a general grad into session with Concordia online (couldn’t make it for in-person grad school open house last month) and still no admissions news 😕 also haven’t heard from McGill but saw a Canadian acceptance around Valentines Day and an American acceptance around the 28th. Concerned this is a silent rejection- 309 replies

Thank you all for the advice and link! I took a chance and sent an email. It's approximately a month after the initial email (I was so stunned and then felt awkward just sending an "omg thank you" email in response). I informed them they are my top domestic choice and when I will likely hear back from at the latest from my remaining programs (both of which are international and thus, may not have great funding for me). I'm hopeful that by sending this email-letter of continued interest outlining once more what drew me to the school-program and an example of my extension of my current research methods in poetics will aid my likelihood of acceptance.- 309 replies

Thinking about sending a letter of continued interest to Illinois. Does anybody have a model for programs they've sent these letters to previously? The email from Illinois doesn't discourage reaching out nor does it encourage it.- 309 replies

No news from McGill or Concordia for me. I saw results in years past coming out in late February so hoping it'll come soon.- 309 replies
