The only problem with the forehead-star system is that if you frequent tanning salons or apply spray-tan to your noggin, you begin to resemble a dragon ball. And before you know it, people are running after you and demanding the fulfillment of their wishes. Talk about stressful! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isocrates2.o Posted February 7, 2018 Share Posted February 7, 2018 PhD applicant here. I've been accepted to the Saint Louis PhD program, but I'm eagerly awaiting others because it's not my absolute first choice. I've also applied to VTech, Clemson, NC State, Penn State, Memphis, Miami and Nebraska. Has anyone heard back from any of these PhD programs? Wishing you all luck!

Wishing you all luck! @klader knows about Miami, but I think she said next week maybe? Clemson will probably notify within the next two weeks as well. Definitely before the end of Feb. NC State's website says mid Feb... but who knows what "mid Feb" means, haha. Edited February 7, 2018 by mk-8 Changed "late" to "mid" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It offers a lot of tools for grading and feeeback (IMO). It also lets me know if students have looked at my feedback, and I spend a loooooot of time on feedback (more than I should), so it’s nifty. Yes!! We used to have Moodle, and then we switched to Canvas. It's suuuuuch time saver. If the SpeedGrading tool was the only advantage I would still choose Canvas everyday. But Canvas also has better page layouts and course copying abilities (I make one version of a class and then copy it over to my other sections). 6 hours ago, JDRichter said: PhD applicant here.

klader Posted February 8, 2018 Share Posted February 8, 2018 Hopefully notifications will go out by early next week for Miami! I think they know who they want to admit but have to go through the proper channels now. And if you're admitted, prospective student weekend will be on March 9 (maybe even March 8, too) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's weird because we have a J term here at Miami, so coordinating everyone's schedules and stuff is extra tricky with that. Plus, they're just behind a little bit. I got my MA acceptance on Feb 8 back in 2016 (so, should have been today! Lol) Edited February 8, 2018 by klader Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't apply to SU but some of the programs I've applied to have done this in recent years. Beyond the personal statement stuff, what're they interested in?

klader Posted February 9, 2018 Share Posted February 9, 2018 So frustrating!! I replied on Saturday, too. And I've no idea, but I imagine asking about your research/thesis, and future projects you could do? And how you think the program could fit? I'm just going to study their website until I know it by heart, lol, and be ready to talk about my interests and basically anything I mentioned in my SoP.

Some of them have some pretty lax privacy settings, she says in a way that is definitely NOT creepy.

Rhet/comp is such a small field- honestly ppl's facebook's pop up on my feed all the time anyways just from mutual friends at my current my program. First step, facebook stalking. Maybe one day I'll actually have the confidence to approach them in person. mk-8 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
