Well, the email arrived from NYU today with the expected rejection. I had already emailed back and forth with Rutgers to know that I was not accepted to the PhD but was offered an MA spot. There is only UMASS-Amherst left for word. I expect I shall attend UNM given considerations.
I was accepted to the Masters programs at University of New Mexico. I will wait as long as I can for results from the other PhD. programs to decide. By looking here I am realizing many have their masters already when applying for PhD. So the smart choice may be to get my masters then go further. We'll see.
Email from Boston today with regrets. So far the plan of American Studies in the fall is not looking too good. It is nice to see a few here getting acceptances though.
