Thanks for posting and congrats to both of you! I'm also on the waitlist. Braden says it's not "linear," so I'm wondering if either of you can give any insight into how choices are made. For instance, is there one candidate waiting in the wings for each sub-field? That is, were you admitted because a previous 19th century lit candidate declined? You may not know this specifically, but I thought I'd check.
Once again, congrats!
