One quick question. I'm presenting at a conference next month (mostly comprised of other grad students) and was asked for my academic affiliation. Since I'm not currently enrolled I just gave them the name of the university that I'll be attending in the fall. By the time the conference proceedings are published I will be enrolled there, but obviously next month I won't have started yet. Now I'm wondering if it's a faux pas to list a future institution instead of a current one or if I'm just over thinking this?

Final Decision Thread 2013

Congrats! It seems like the program is evolving in a really positive direction. Plus, my impression during my visit was that students and faculty alike were happy, supportive, and doing interesting work. So I'm sure you'll have a great experience. Also Boulder is pretty great! (It's my hometown so I'm a bit partial, but feel free to PM if you have any questions) -
I'm in the same boat as you. I have other offers and not having visited makes me a little nervous, but it seems like such an amazing program... Here's hoping for good news for both of us

Just turned down a very well-funded offer at Temple. I hope that helps someone!

I'm having a similar dilemma. Having such positive feedback and personal attention from certain schools is definitely pushing me in their direction, but I wonder if I'm placing too much weight on how well they're selling themselves and it's distracting me from other more important factors at other universities... I don't know. I have no idea how I'm going to make my decision and the wait lists have just made it even worse!

Fall 2013 English Lit Applicants
nada.am replied to harvardlonghorn's topic in Literature, and Rhetoric and Composition
At what point is it Ok to call universities to ask about one's status? I've seen rejections and acceptances here for several places where my online application status has not changed (for example Columbia, which I'm almost sure is a rejection) and I just want to know already! -
Post-Acceptance Stress & Misc. Banter
nada.am replied to TripWillis's topic in Literature, and Rhetoric and Composition
What kinds of questions have you been asking? I've had several POIs reach out to me and we've had brief exchanges, but I'm worried about bogging them down with questions about the program that could be answered by a DGS... -

Same with Columbia... just send me the email already before I confuse silence with hope! -
Can anyone claim/verify the Columbia acceptance that was just posted on the results board? I assumed they had already finished making offers...

Congrats on your acceptances cicada and katja! I just got the email from Laura Tanner as well and am going to try to visit in mid/late March, so maybe we'll be meeting each other there! What are your areas of interest? -
Haven't heard from... well, lots of places

Speaking of online statuses, my UIC app now reads "Referred to College for Review." What does this mean?!?! -
