But, I'm extra grateful for the Davis acceptance I got a few days ago. It's keeping me from drowning in total despair. 2 hours ago, immanentfields said: Just chiming in here--I also got my Brown rejection this morning, by way of an email that told me to check the ApplyWeb portal. Got my Brown rejection too today, by means of an e-mail to check portal, where a laconic, brief letter of rejection awaited me. Luckily, I've already been admitted to Chicago which is a much better fit for me. superfluouswoman 1

glg96 Posted February 9, 2018 Posted February 9, 2018 @DatGuy @jshaarawi Congratulations !! I know how nerve wrecking this week has been so that email must have been a great ending to the week. Good luck ! Still haven't received anything from Penn ): ... I'm guessing this is an implied rejection if I haven't gotten anything by now. Happy for everyone that got an email though!

I could be very wrong, but I think they might be scheduled according to subfield! Do you work on anything within the broad field of postcolonial studies by any chance?

I have a feeling interviews are going to go on possibly for most of next week too!

immanentfields Posted February 10, 2018 Posted February 10, 2018 (edited) I also have a Penn interview for next week--which was a nice surprise after both Brown and Chicago rejections today. Good luck to everyone else! Edited February 10, 2018 by immanentfields glg96 and to_di 1 1
gregs Posted February 10, 2018 Posted February 10, 2018 Congrats @DatGuy and @jshaarawi! That’s so great! Didnt get the email, but I guess I can hold out hope another week? My feelings are kind of mixed right now. On the one hand I got my first acceptance (Rutgers), but I’m very unsure about how my CUNY interview went. I have a feeling that’ll turn out to be a waitlist situation. superfluouswoman 1

nichts Posted February 10, 2018 Posted February 10, 2018 Best of luck to everyone who got an interview with Penn! I do wonder about subfields, thanks to @DatGuy. Would love to hear from the other person who interviewed a few days ago. Congratulations on your first acceptance, @gregs! You're going to grad school! superfluouswoman 1

Thanks! It was a kind but formal email from Verena Conley, just a few details about funding, nothing really specific about my file (tho she said more info was forthcoming). I noticed a few other Harvard posts on the results page as well, so not sure if this was a big wave or not. I did name her in my app so perhaps they're notifying by field. Sorry I don't have more details! superfluouswoman 1

nichts Posted February 12, 2018 Posted February 12, 2018 Congratulations, @immanentfields and @Travala! How exciting! Would someone mind weighing in on a question for me? I just started a graduate-level internship that's relevant to my field and affiliated with an esteemed university. I don't want to inconvenience anyone but I'm also sitting on a good pile of implied rejections. Should I notify the universities finalizing decisions (Harvard, Penn, Maryland) and, If so, would program coordinators be the right contact?
