Any other UK applicants out there? If so, any of you heard anything?
I can't help but feel my application must have seemed hopelessly quaint. My writing sample dealt with some pretty unfashionable mid-20th C poets and was totally devoid of any theory, while my statement of purpose was so rushed and unfocused that, when I read it again the other day, I just sat there laughing and shaking my head.
Going into this whole process I simply didn't have a clue (blagged GREs, no contact with departments, only the very briefest of mentions of POIs in statement etc etc). I wish I had known about this place 6 months ago, or perhaps that I had never come across it. I now feel painfully informed.
Hello all, by the way. You all seem lovely.
