  1. Hello

      This is veryy random... but I have been reading your feeds and I believe that you can help me out... the thing is I am an English PhD aspirant this year and there has been certain things I need to talk to someone well accomplice with!!!

  2. Don't feel guilty! Just think of all the (hundreds of) worthy students that these schools rejected.
  3. Berkeley, for Romanticism and Modernism. Rather excited. Also, Synecdoche, New York is my favorite movie of all time!
  4. To echo rawera about GRE: I got an 800 on Verbal and 780 on Subject, and got rejected from plenty of places. I got into some good places too, but it certainly wasn't because of good GRE scores.
  5. If you can't share I understand, and you may not even know, but any chance you could say which three are leaving? Just curious. (aka I got rejected there and want to make myself feel better by saying "oh, my poi(s) are leaving, that's why")
  6. If anyone is going to Brandeis to work with Laura Quinney - MAD PROPS! She is amazing (don't know her as a person, but her scholarship is some of the best stuff on Romanticism now, I think).
  7. Yeah. That same person also spelled Gordon Braden's name wrong in their post...I guess they aren't that interested in UVA?
  8. Nope it's not rude at all. And I'm pretty sure I'm not going there, though it's a good program with a VERY generous financial offer (just not the best fit for me). I'm waiting to visit my number 1 choice (in like 10 days) before I let Cornell know, though, just to keep that the Cornell open in the unlikely situation that I absolutely hate the city/department of my number 1. But in all probability I'll tell Cornell thanks but no thanks within two weeks. Best of luck to you Lithlyapo! BTW what's your field? I do 19th and 20th century transatlantic (mostly poetry).
  9. (I second the above Blake). Can't pick a true favorite, but here are the incredible last two stanzas of Hart Crane's "Proem: To Brooklyn Bridge": Under thy shadow by the piers I waited; Only in darkness is thy shadow clear. The City’s fiery parcels all undone, Already snow submerges an iron year . . . O Sleepless as the river under thee, Vaulting the sea, the prairies’ dreaming sod, Unto us lowliest sometime sweep, descend And of the curveship lend a myth to God.
  10. Am I the only one who interviewed and still got flat-out rejected? I figured I might have blown the interview, but this kinda sucks...
  11. I don't mean to get falsely get anyone's hopes up yet, but I just checked my email recieved my acceptance, and the email wasn't sent until like 30 minutes ago...so they still could be sending acceptances...
