    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
  10. bluemojav
    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.

    No update from me either :,) It’s my top choice so I’m holding out hope, because it really doesn’t look like they normally interview and the website says it’s not required. I’m thinking the one person who posted their interview here was also the one accepted, but idk.
  13. bluemojav
    Oh man, not even two hours after this I got rejected from Boston U. They were on the upper half in terms of schools I thought I was a good fit for, and I had been optimistic for a waitlist after seeing the rejections and acceptances come out earlier. I suppose the good comes with the bad.
  14. bluemojav
    Received an email from the graduate coordinator for my aforementioned undergrad institution saying I’m in a top spot on the waitlist for the funded masters program. This is the first positive news I’ve received for a funded program, so I’m crossing my fingers!!
  15. bluemojav
    Can anyone here claim that UPenn acceptance? I didn’t get an interview so assuming a rejection, but here’s to fruitless hoping :,)
  16. bluemojav
    I’m wondering the same thing…for past years, I saw at least one season where they seemed spread out over a few days, but most aren’t. But there’s also way less acceptances posted than usual…not sure if that’s because they just came out…
  17. bluemojav
    The website says that interviews aren’t required. The fact that only one acceptance has been posted (and that the call was last Friday) has me both worried and confused, because it seems like they always released acceptances on the same day for everyone in years past ….crossing my fingers for both of us!
  18. bluemojav
    Not all applicants are interviewed— it depends on the field and the POI you listed. I would assume that you’re at least on the shortlist if you got an interview, though…good luck! I’m hoping we both get good news when those decisions come out.
  19. bluemojav
    It’s nice to read both of those responses! I think the only guaranteed funding I’d get for an MA would be with my undergrad institution, and I’m trying to convince myself it’s not the worst thing in the world to happen to me if I end up pursuing that first.
  20. bluemojav
    That’s the plan! I can’t do another year of working this job and waiting, lol. Trying to remain optimistic though!
  21. bluemojav
    Oh man. None of my programs have said a peep since that rejection from U Maryland at the beginning of the month. I had been playing it cool but it’s starting to stress me out :,)
  22. bluemojav
    They don’t interview all applicants— it depends on your field. Idk exactly which ones are and aren’t doing interviews, unfortunately. I’d love to know too.
  23. bluemojav
    Oh WOW congrats to all the acceptances and interviewees :-)! Also, that sucks about the funding for international students. I’d seen posts on Reddit of people talking about that, but hadn’t thought so many university’s would be the same way.
  24. bluemojav
    Saw some Boston U rejections go out, but radio silence on my end w/ no update on the website…hoping that means something good since it looks like WLs and acdeptances came out after rejections last year (w me being rejected among them lol)…. Also, I was told by a professor that after around a month after you are waitlisted, a letter of continued interest is appropriate! I’m not sure what the consensus is for it.
  25. bluemojav
    I applied last year and got my rejection about a week after the first wave, so it wouldn’t surprise me if they are. Good luck!
