They havent even told me if im waitlisted. Should I be contacting them myself?

Ok. But I am still waiting on seven! schools!

Yes. What do you guys know about this? Say one school offers you something before April 15 and then on or after April 15, some people drop out and you get into your star school. How is that timeline handled?

What do you think it could mean if I am still waiting on seven schools? ?

I wanted to say hi back. I'm new too. Freaking out too. Also in wait-list-limbo. Welcome!

Has anyone heard from Purdue's Literature program yet? Thanks!

The MLA is what I use to search almost exclusively. It narrows down the field already, so you don't get chemistry articles by a person who ALSO happens to be named Hilda Doolittle and who ALSO is doing research on flowers. Ha. I couldn't live without the MLA database.

How did you guys know your status? I haven't heard anything from them yet ...

I got mail (bad news) from U New Hampshire on Monday. Hope you heard something good!

Hi All, I'm new, and am waiting to heard from 7 of the 10 schools that I applied to, for a PhD in Lit. (American) I'm wondering if you think that emailing the DGS of each school could be harmful? Also, have you ever heard of anyone not getting into a easier program but then getting into higher-ranked ones? Nice to *meet* you all.
