Just turned down three offers: UMass- Amherst English Ph.D.-- plus Teaching Assistantship awardCUNY Graduate Center Ph.D. -- plus Enhanced Chancellor's FellowshipCollege of William and Mary American Studies Ph.D.-- was wait-listed for a fellowship, but their funding is really good and I hope that someone else will benefit from being bumped up the waitlist another place! Hope that helps some people out. Those are all really great places and there's money to be had. That being said, I'm still waiting to hear from Michigan-- such a great program, great financial packages, and the DGS said she'd let me know ASAP, hopefully Monday. I hope people decline Michigan in droves today and tomorrow... to go to other great programs, of course!

I got a fellowship offer on the 11th of March, so that's technically within the last month. I intend to decline it this evening, and I hope it'll go to you!

I got an ECF fellowship but definitely will be declining (better fit/funding at other programs). Hope it goes to you!

I was admitted yesterday, phone interview for a TA-ship scheduled for next week. To those who received the admissions email: did anyone else get one that said, "I'm writing to congratulate you on your acceptance into the English Department's M.A./Ph.D. Program for Fall 2009?"
