Have any rhet/comp applicants received a rejection yet? I emailed the secretary a few days ago and was informed that they were still reviewing applications. My email to Dr. Sullivan has gone unreturned. I'd just like to know if I'm at least rejected so I can accept it and move on.

Are any other rhet/comp applicants seriously fighting the urge to send an email to check the status of their application? I haven't so far because 1) I don't want to face the reality that my dream for the past two years might be crushed and 2) I know emailing about application statuses isn't exactly the best thing to do. Thoughts?

Have any Purdue rhet/comp applicants received notifications yet? I thought last week might be the week, but nothing. On a different note (and forgive my ignorance), but does 45 spots mean for the entire department? I was under the impression that each program within the department made their decisions independently from each other and had their own set number of spots. Is this incorrect?

Has anyone else who applied to ASU's rhetoric and comp program not heard anything yet? I've been checking my online status repeatedly, but it still says "in review." I'm assuming rejection at this point...

What is your field? Lit or rhet/comp?
