Rejection from Brown came in today. It's my first rejection so it definitely stings. But, I'm extra grateful for the Davis acceptance I got a few days ago. It's keeping me from drowning in total despair.

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.

@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!

ME TOO!! CONGRAAAAATS!!! 

I have a feeling regarding how the interview calls were structured. 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? :P

Hold on yet still, I think. I have a feeling interviews are going to go on possibly for most of next week too!

You're always giving me hope on this thread! I hope so too. Hope your interview goes well!

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.

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!

Yup! Middle East/North Africa and postcolonial 

Amazing! I work on South Asia. Also, I find it absolutely insane that so many of Penn's shortlist is on a single forum. It really is astounding! Good luck, guys! Also, when are your interviews scheduled for? Mine is Tuesday!

Wow congrats! That’s super early too, do you have any more info? Like who contacted you, etc.?

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!

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?
