    As an update to anyone searching, I wound up at UIUC. I got my first offer for a TAship 3/29, my second 4/1, and my third 4/8. I accepted the third one because it pays the best.

    All of my applications were for Information Sciences or Library and Information Sciences Masters programs! I do already have an MA but wasn't sure if I wanted to commit to the PhD quite yet...

    Making a little post because it's usually dead in our corner of the forums, but I'm applying for admissions for the Fall 2026 cycle. Have been admitted to two programs, waiting to hear back from 5 (UCLA, UMD, UMICH, Simmons, UIUC). How are y'all doing? How's the cycle feeling?

    Also not really at the time! I submitted the MA app. and despite what she said, the tuition remission offered was only 33%, lol, so it DOES feel more like a bait-and-switch.

    I was accepted off the waitlist for the funded MA at Virginia Tech and accepted :-). I’m kinda bummed I didn’t get into a doctoral program, but I think ultimately it’s what’s best for me right now and will be good experience (I also didn’t realize how uncommon it was to get into an English PhD program w/o the masters, but thinking back on it, it makes sense). Congrats to everyone else on their programs!!!

    Received an email from Northeastern saying that “while I wasn’t admitted into the PhD program, I was rated highly by faculty and could be offered a significant amount, if not complete, tuition assistance with an acceptance into the masters program.” I’m not sure if she’s bluffing with how much aid they can provide, because most of the Northeastern masters acceptances I’ve seen in the past have seemed to max out at 33% tuition assistance, but we’ll see. I’m still at the top of the waitlist at my undergrad institution for their funded MA program…feels bad to be in limbo, even if the email from Northeastern was still flattering albeit disappointing.

    I’m really antsy about not hearing things from my last few schools…just saw the UPenn letter only because I checked here.

    Haven’t heard from UPenn, USC, UC Santa Barbara, Syracuse, or NEU… trying to be patient and optimistic, but assuming the WL for the MA program is my best bet…

    Is it binding, like EA in undergrad? Or if you ended up getting in and changing your mind on programs, would the only thing you’d lose be the deposit? ND is still a really nice school, nothing to be upset about.

    Let me know what they say! I’m also expecting a rejection, but was too nervous to reach out, lol.

    You’ll grow older regardless. The only difference is you could be x age with an MA/PhD, or x age without them. Rooting for you!

    Got that email from UCLA about delays :,) Nice to hear something from them at all, though

    It is! I tried to post something a few days ago w a link from a statement from someone on an admissions committee but it didn’t go through. Because the FAFSA stuff and federal funding is delayed, admissions is also delayed because schools don’t know how much funding they’ll have. This would impact private AND public schools, as long as they get federal funding.

    Idk if anyone on here is active on Reddit, but I saw a post from someone on an Adcomm who said that funding is really screwed up and that pushed back a lot of results from being released. Something to keep in mind! The link to that post.
