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- 308 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).- 308 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- 308 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)- 308 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??- 308 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- 308 replies

McGill and Concordia keep sending me emails that are not my admission decision. Killing me !- 308 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.- 308 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.- 308 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.- 308 replies

Still no updates from Brown...feeling less optimistic. For Concordia though, I'm curious if it's typical to get Open House invites? It seems like a general DGS Open House, albeit in-person and on the 17th, so I cannot go (even looked into flights and too tight a turn around). Maybe this is somehow a good omen for Concordia and Montreal.- 308 replies
