PhD English - 2024 Admissions

After a long and nerve-wracking cycle, I am excited to share that I've officially committed to Rice! This thread has been a source of support for me over the past several months, so thank you. 🙂- 309 replies

Congrats! I'm still in waitlist limbo, unfortunately, but hoping for the best! This program has historically notified students up until the 4/15 deadline, so it may be another couple of weeks.- 309 replies

I am also still waiting on USC and UCSB. I saw more acceptances and a waitlist go out for SB, so I'm not getting my hopes up...- 309 replies

Still waiting to hear from USC, but ND emailed me back and let me know that I wasn't included in their first round of offers and to anticipate a final decision by mid-April. I assumed I would be outright rejected, as I did not receive an interview...- 309 replies

I know a few of us are still waiting on USC, so I decided to email them today. I'm expecting a rejection at this point, but we'll see.- 309 replies

Can't believe it's March and I'm still waiting to hear back from six programs (mostly California schools). This time last year I'd heard back from all of my programs. Does admissions seem a bit delayed this year? I am not sure if I should just be preparing for rejections at his point.- 309 replies

Anyone have any updates yet from USC English (not the Literature/Creative Writing program)? Still only seeing one interview/acceptance. Did anyone else interview?- 309 replies

I sent a brief letter of continued interest yesterday to the DGS after having been on the waitlist at a program for about a month. I kept it simple and reaffirmed my interest in the program. I noted it was my top choice and that I would happily accept if admitted, followed by a short blurb (2-3 sentences) reiterating why this program is my top choice.- 309 replies

Thanks for the tip! I was waitlisted mid-January, so I think I'll send a follow-up email by end of next week.- 309 replies

What's the consensus around sending letters of continued interest to programs we're waitlisted at? There is already a place in the application portal for me to indicate that I'd like to remain on the waitlist. Is it generally recommended to follow up with a letter, or is that overkill? I don't really have any updates for the program, and I'm still waiting to hear back from quite a few other programs.- 309 replies

I was wondering the same thing. Their website states that an interview "is not required" for admission although I wonder if they're switching up the process this year.- 309 replies

Happy to see some decisions starting to go out. I recently received my first decision and it's a waitlist at Rice, which is one of my top choices. Not a bad way to start off the season, I think 🙂- 309 replies
