  1. I am so grateful that my cycle has ended (still waiting for Penn State, but I have already made peace with my rejection). I saw some people accepted to the University of Arizona English and rhet./comp programs on the results page. I would be happy to connect if any of you want to claim those acceptances and plan on attending! For everyone else in this forum, I am rooting for you and wishing you sanity and confidence in your decisions as April 15 approaches and the waitlists roll. All the best, y'all, and thank you for everything! ✨
  2. Hey guys! Happy to have found this topic. Ivan, I'm brazilian too, it's nice to see you've been active on this forum 🙂 So this cycle I applied to some rhetoric and composition programs and to two SLA/APPLING programs (I'm interested in second language writing and multilingual writers identity, thus my research could fit well both fields). These are the 2 programs I applied to: MSU SLS - no interview, rejection; Penn State Applied Linguistics - no interview, no word yet... I am considering a rejection too, but would like to be sure. Someone posted on the results page that they got an interview there. Has anyone heard from Penn State? Good luck everyone and hopefully we can keep our sanity until April 15th. ✨
  3. Cool, nice to virtually meet you! ? Please feel all of my support as you go through the application season, I hope you get accepted to your dream programs and get to decide among those 7. I had many of these programs on my list too, such as ASU, OSU, Purdue and UMich. But ultimately my list got narrower based on the stipend and high cost of living, especially since I'm an international student coming with my spouse. I cut off programs in bigger cities and with low stipends, so ended up applying to only 2 programs, UoArizona RCTE and Miami (OH). I also applied to 2 other programs in Applied Linguistics because of my background, but I'm leaning towards rhet/comp and writing center work/pedagogies. What are your research interests?
  4. Fingers crossed for you! Have you applied to any other schools in comp/rhet? I feel like most of the other posters on the 2023 application thread are applying to Lit/comp lit programs, and I would really like to meet other folks in rhet/comp.
  5. Congrats on your acceptances! How are you going to decide which university to attend?
  6. Hey everyone, Seeing people posting here really helps calm down my nerves -- I can see I'm not the only one checking my inbox every hour and freaking out bc there are no news. I see most of you guys applied to Lit programs. I applied to 2 Rhet/comp PhDs, UoArizona RCTE and Miami (OH). (I also applied to 2 other programs, but for Applied Linguistics.) I am waiting to hear back from Arizona mid-February, but Miami's admission timeline is unpredictable based on previous results. Do you think is ok for us to contact GS Directors or assistants and ask about their timelines? Hope all of you guys hear great news soon, and please keep posting here so we can help each other during this anxiety season. ??
  7. Hi toad11, I'm an international student, so I'm not even sure what I'm saying, but conversations I've had with current PhD students iin the US always led me to believe rankings were not so important. That the most important part of choosing a PhD program is the relationship with the advisor... What do you feel that is happening in your current program? Is there a lack of funding due to raking levels falling? Or are you worried you won't get a good job after you graduate due to the program's reputation? Also, I've never heard of anyone changing programs in their second year, but you should prioritize your well-being. If you feel you won't get your reputation 'marked' for this, go for it! My two cents is that if I made this switch in my country, dropping off one program and trying to apply to others, and if my advisor got offended, I would probably be frowned upon in my field because professors talk... But I would also never be able to continue in a program where I am uncomfortable and anxious/stuck. So even if I were to be frowned upon, I would reapply and change.
  8. Hey ArcaMajora, hey everyone! I plan to apply for Fall 2023, Rhet-comp/English programs. I'm still researching programs but have already started to prepare the SOP and docs. Happy to collaborate with y'all, and best of luck to everyone!
