  1. UPenn! Good luck to everyone in the decision-making process.
  2. Speaking of mispronouncing words you encounter first when reading, I havr alternate pronunciations in my head for all the theorists. I just started The Marriage Plot (as per the recommendations on this board in an earlier thread, so thank you!), and there's a point where the character is in class and someone is talking about Barthes and she goes, "Bart. So that was how you pronounced it. Madeleine made a note, grateful to be spared of humiliation." Story of my life. But at least I wasn't the student in my methods class who started talking eloquently about Mike Fuckilt...
  3. I told myself if I made it to the other side of this application process that I would get an Eve Sedgwick quote/phrase tattooed on my body...and now I'm like, oh shit, I get to follow through on that promise! Haha. Not in the literary vein as others on this thread, but a favorite quote nonetheless a la Judith Butler at OWS in October: "If hope is an impossible demand, then we demand the impossible."
  4. Haha my only secrets are 1) lurking this board lyke whoa and 2) drinking a lot of low quality booze while lurking (although be careful the time of day you do this because a DGS might call you when chugging said booze alone on a weekday evening. Um, not that this happened to me or anything).
  5. My main interest is queer studies, especially as it intersects with/how it can be applied to other fields. I realize my username is misleading, haha (although Virginia Woolf was totally queer). Thank you! I am in disbelief. I hope that you get more good news soon!
  6. Thanks! It is not by some crazy miracle, though I'm really excited by Rutgers program. This whole experience has been surreal and I recognize I'm in a very lucky position. I am sending good vibes to everyone on these boards!
  7. It was about an hour ago (East Coast). Rooting for you and everyone on these boards!
  8. Hi! I just wanted to start a thread for Johns Hopkins, as there were a few acceptances posted yesterday - congratulations to all! I didn't think I had a shot at getting in so I'm in utter disbelief, but also taking into consideration some things I have heard about the nature of the program. I'm looking forward to getting a sense of things during the visiting days.
  9. I didn't get any details, but the official acceptance is on it's way, so perhaps that will give some more information. According to last year's posts, acceptance calls seem to roll out over the course of a few days, so I'm sure they are still notifying! Good luck
  10. Just got a phone call from my POI, also surprised by the Saturday notification!
  11. Received my acceptance email late this morning and thrilled, excited to see what kind of funding comes through (if it comes through, the email just noted that official information about funding would be sent soon). Congrats to those already accepted, and good luck to all!
  12. Thank you so much! My interests are in queer studies, critical race studies, and contemporary lit. Best of luck, I am pulling for everyone on these boards!
  13. Congrats, OverTheMoon! I also just received an acceptance and am beyond elated. Good luck to everyone!
