Harvard Post
Pynchonette replied to DorindaAfterThyrsis's topic in Literature, and Rhetoric and Composition
Come on already Harvard, I want my official Harvard stationary with my name on it so I can frame it and love it and treasure it forever -
I also had the T. Probably a check mark... OR we can pretend it stands for TERRIFIC!

So... after five rejections and only the big H, S & Y left, I guess it's about time to call it a day, right? What are people who aren't trying to get into Grad school doing with their time anyway? -
Rejection Feedback
Pynchonette replied to lolopixie's topic in Literature, and Rhetoric and Composition
I emailed UCLA and asked for advice on how to strengthen my application for the future. I got a very kind response within 48 hours that the Graduate Vice Chair, Felicity Nussbaum would be happy to do a complete "application review" with me after April 15th, and asked to please resend my email asking for one at that time. -

Honestly? Made my day. -
Thank you ALL for this thread! The closest thing to humor I can muster up about now is this...

I remember seeing on one of the other threads that Columbia will be notifying their decisions on or after Feb. 20th. Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong..

Amen to that. Fulfilling in a way that nothing else quite is, too. Also , even if I don't get it anywhere (starting to look around for serious Plan Bs already) I know I would have always regretted it if I had never tried. So here's for trying to make our far-fetched dreams a reality! -
Where my Duke applicants at?!
Pynchonette replied to cquin's topic in Literature, and Rhetoric and Composition
Keep your chin up. If you haven't heard anything than that proverbial fat lady has not yet sung. I too have not heard anything from any of the 11 programs I applied for, and have actually now limited myself to checking these boards only once every 24 hours to keep form falling into anxious misery. Something good will happen yet -- I know it! -
Congratulations!!

I wish they would just put us out of our misery already and send the rejections. I already know that Chicago, Duke and Stanford have probably already finished letting anyone relevant (ie not me) know, so why not just let me off the hook already? *pouts* -

Well, at least we're not alone. The irony of course being that if we *were* alone, we would have less competition and therefor not been in this dismal situaiton to begin with. Also, I think that gradcafe should have a limit where you can only visit the site once every 36 hours. I am relentlessly obsessive about checking the results! -

Ugh, am I the only one who has not heard back anything from anyone and feels like a complete masochist to have even started this process? -
Oy to the Vey, as they say...
