I was a film and media track for both.

Turned down U Oregon and U Florida today. I hope that helps somebody!

Just sent an email declining my Florida offer. Sorry it was so last minute! I was told that there were two places left, and I had a film and media studies emphasis. I really hope this helps out waitlisters--I feel your pain.

Hi everyone . I will most likely be enrolling in Pitt for their English PhD with Film Studies emphasis (I'd say about a 70% chance at this point). Just wanted to say hello to any other potential Pitt students.

I just got the same thing, woolfian. Looks like an unfunded terminal MA and haven't heard anything from the dept. Finding an acceptance buried beneath a bunch of links was certainly a new experience. I think the expression on my face went from expected disappointment to pleasant surprise to dampened enthusiasm. Still nice, though

Same here. No email, but Mike's legit.

Thanks, Lyoness!

I just got an acceptance voicemail this morning from admissions. So Florida doesn't accept PhD applicants if you just have a BA? I had forgotten. Anyway, that's pretty much the last notification for the fifteen schools I applied to.

Thanks for the clarification and the refreshing news

Anybody else see this on the status page? Department Recommendation: Admitted, Conditional Doctoral, English. Graduate School Action: Pending I'm not quite sure what to make of it.

I got the waitlist notification over the weekend as well. I was pretty surprised. Congrats to admits and good luck to the others on the waitlist.

I got the waitlist notification today as well...not too experienced with the waitlisted situation either.

@ladenkino, i'm on the film track as well. and i do agree that the correspondence has been very friendly and welcoming. i'll definitely take up the offer for a visit.

Thanks for the info guys! Makes me feel good about Pitt.

It's been my only acceptance/notification so far. Anybody else get in and thinking seriously of attending?
