I'm also entertaining the dream that the first acceptances were those who get the bigger funding packages, and that another round of acceptances will come through for the base packages. Unlikely, but it's a nice thought. E. Coronaria 1
jrockford27 Posted January 27, 2018 Posted January 27, 2018 (edited) Every school has a waitlist, fear not. I attend a program very similarly ranked to tOSU and we admit off the waitlist every single year (I got into my program off the wait list!)

punctilious Posted January 27, 2018 Posted January 27, 2018 I have to confess that after having this song stuck in my head since @FreakyFoucault suggested this title, I finally just HAD to listen to it. I also have to confess that my first real concert as a child was the Backstreet Boys. Pretty sure I haven’t listen to this song since that concert. I kinda enjoy it, actually... lesaid 1

I'm pretty sure that all of the lyrics are still stowed away in the back of my brain somewhere. Every time I read the title of this thread, some of them surface and I sing to myself. FreakyFoucault 1

This was my first break-up song! Without a doubt, it eased a young FreakyFoucault’s adolescent pain.
Ufffdaaa Posted January 27, 2018 Posted January 27, 2018 *calls Wisconsin and sings them this song* Seriously though, acceptance/rejection notifications always go out in January for Wisconsin. This year, there are three acceptances on the board and silence in regards to rejections! My heart!

Traditionally, Wisconsin Rhet Comp notifies the Monday after English does.
pronountrouble Posted January 28, 2018 Posted January 28, 2018 long time listener, first time caller, here to say I am DYING waiting for boston college to post their results--they usually send out acceptances the last friday of january buuuuut nada. not sure if I should be frustrated or just bummed. mads47 and lesaid 1 1

Barely any of the results specify composition and rhetoric. Nearly everyone just lists "English PhD" for Wisconsin. Thanks for the info! I couldn't get that from the results board.

I'm waiting on Boston College as well, I'm just hoping that they didn't already notify accepted applicants but the admits just didn't report on Grad Cafe? I don't know, that's worst case scenario, so it's probably (hopefully) not that. Maybe they're just running a little late this year! Do we know if they usually call or email or update the website?
Ufffdaaa Posted January 28, 2018 Posted January 28, 2018 Oracle/Peoplesoft error when I try to log into Ohio State's system: "This is not a valid time to access the system. Click here to see hours of availability." Don't they know that I need to obsessively check for updates at 11pm Pacific on a Saturday night? Just give me the official rejection OSU! I know all of the acceptances went out last week! E. Coronaria, pronountrouble and lesaid 2 1
frenchlover Posted January 28, 2018 Posted January 28, 2018 Columbia is a no. I suspect I will get into their unfunded MA program, but lol.

lesaid Posted January 28, 2018 Posted January 28, 2018 i keep seeing people getting accepted into the U of M (MN) Comp. Lit and I'm coming to terms that Im probably not going to get in and i don't know what to do with this year if I don't get in (a small part of me still thinks its possible)

frenchlover Posted January 28, 2018 Posted January 28, 2018 (edited) @M(allthevowels)H I applied to French and Comparative Literature at Columbia, and people have started to hear back for interviews, so that's a no to me. Why would they not admit to their unfunded French MA program though? Columbia is notorious for its overpriced MA programs. Oh well. Edited January 28, 2018 by frenchlover
msmith1381 Posted January 28, 2018 Posted January 28, 2018 Waiting on NYU, Albert Einstein, Weill Cornell. So 99.9% sure that I was rejected... I just wish it didn't feel so sad and devastatingly depressing.
M(allthevowels)H Posted January 28, 2018 Posted January 28, 2018 @frenchlover ah, I gotcha. But yeah, you're probably going to get that offer. Which means you get to make the empowering decision of weighing world class prestige against...ever eating again. (Everyone's financial situation is different, and going would be a no-brainer for those who could make it work financially, so absolutely no criticism to those who exercise that option. I just quite like food and would have to choose.)
CulturalCriminal Posted January 28, 2018 Posted January 28, 2018 While I am every person here who sees other acceptances coming in as proof that I’m not going to get into X school, I do feel the need to point out that just because people are getting in to those programs right now—doesn’t mean they’ll actually go to that program. Here’s to hoping I’m a second or third round pick! JustPoesieAlong, posts and pronountrouble 3

I currently go to NYU and have spoken to a couple of my professors (who have sat/sit on admissions committees), and they've told me they're reviewing at the moment. That might have been just to make me feel better, though. I seriously doubt if @msmith1381 was applying to English PhD programs with Albert Einstein and Weill Cornell on her list, but who knows for sure?
