Looks like mostly everyone has received notice, but I haven't received anything. Wondering if it's a glitch, since waitlists went out, too... I'm also waiting to hear from Brown. The limbo... it's so frustrating. When I talked to the Brown grad manager last week, I told her my husband's name and she said it "should be a good thing" that we haven't heard yet, and that they do not have a wait list, but some applicants have been "set aside" and are "pending." Whatever all that means. GOOD LUCK!
chellyfish_ Posted February 27, 2018 Posted February 27, 2018 Another waiting for Washington! I'm not allowing myself to think that they'll have movement this week since moooost of the week is still going to be February, so I'm hegding my bets on next week! Also waiting and stressing over UCSB I just want into the admissions panels braaaiiinnnsss, what's taking so long?? LibraryLivingJT 1

These are the only two schools I got full applications into. I emailed the graduate advisor for ucsb (who'd answered questions for me before) and the email bounced back.
ThePandaBard Posted February 27, 2018 Posted February 27, 2018 I'm seeing Boulder rejections going up, and I checked my portal to see no rejection. It looks like acceptances were already notified on the phone, though, and that wait lists went out. I'm assuming that my rejection is just coming later.
FreakyFoucault Posted February 27, 2018 Posted February 27, 2018 Rejected at Harvard! I suppose I'll never get the satisfaction of pummeling a Yalie. Oh well. 3 acceptances and 13 rejections is the final tally! It's been a wild ride, folks, but I'm glad to have gone through it with you all! LibraryLivingJT, JustPoesieAlong and Hermenewtics 2 1
OceansAreBlue Posted February 27, 2018 Posted February 27, 2018 @clinamen @Zooks Have you guys heard anything from NYU? I became so frustated that I mailed them last week. I absolutely need a response from NYU now.

I'd like to put NYU to bed myself, though it is already sitting in the rejection pile for me.
Zooks Posted February 27, 2018 Posted February 27, 2018 @OceansAreBlue I haven't either. But it seems highly unlikely that its anything but a rejection at this point I'm afraid.

I’m waiting on Purdue and Tennessee. Some MAs from Tennessee are on the board but no Rhet/Comp PhDs have been posted since the first round of rejections over a month ago...

Well, congratulations on officially entering decision mode! That's so exciting! It's funny, I feel like you got all of your acceptances wicked early, then had to ride out the wave of rejection. This process is something else. Unpredictable. I'm sorry to hear about Harvard--but we'll deal with the Yalies on your behalf.

I'm sorry to hear about Harvard--but we'll deal with the Yalies on your behalf. "Unpredictable" is exactly apropos. My last acceptance was 25 days ago! Since then, I've gotten 13 rejections, which comes out to almost .5 per day. So February has been, at different times, one of the most joyous yet also consistently disappointing months of my life! It's been strange, to say the least, and I still haven't finished processing all the thoughts and emotions. But now comes the time for visits, and I'm happy as a clam! Be careful with the Yalies, though. I hear they fight dirty.

DeePee16 Posted February 27, 2018 Posted February 27, 2018 Anybody been ghosted by Columbia? How should I read not having received a response yet?

a_sort_of_fractious_angel Posted February 28, 2018 Posted February 28, 2018 Low stakes - I see a Lehigh wait-list (PhD) on the board. It's a tiny department. Can I assume rejection?
agunns Posted February 28, 2018 Posted February 28, 2018 Still being ghosted by Brown and Berkeley; anyone else in a similar situation? I'm going to assume rejections from both of them at this point. Rootbound 1

They sent out acceptances for the PhD program two weeks ago, and then those the referred to the MA program last week. I think flat-out rejections should be coming soon. Thank you. I had mailed DGS last week and he replied me this morning telling me that I had not made it.As far as the MA is concerned, I had categorically asked NYU not to consider me for MA. So, I would never expect to hear anything about MA. I love NYU's PhD program. I am sad that I did not make it. However, I do have some amazing acceptances. So that heals the pain. Good luck to you!
LexHex Posted February 28, 2018 Posted February 28, 2018 I just got a second chance to submit missing materials for what I thought was an implied rejection. Wish me Luck! youngim, Warelin, FreakyFoucault and 3 others 6

eliserichelle Posted February 28, 2018 Posted February 28, 2018 Anyone have any insight on Syracuse? I know of one English person who's gotten accepted, but it's hard to tell if the other acceptances have been English or Comp/Rhet.

I know Comp/Rhet heard last week, and I (Lit) got accepted on Monday. So, at this point, I think both have gone out. Edited February 28, 2018 by signandsignifiers
