Thanks though, I guess we will see what happens at the end of the month! I knew quite a few acceptances were out but I hadn't seen any waitlisted results so I wasn't sure what was going on. Talked to my friend again and she did confirm that all acceptances for the PhD have gone out. Apparently the MA offers are going to go out in a couple weeks. I don’t really know about their waitlist process, if they notify or if it’s invisible ??♀️

I feel like at this point I'm just accepting that it's probably bad news.
dilby Posted February 22, 2019 Posted February 22, 2019 At long last, my Duke Literature rejection has arrived! I had to jump through several confusing hoops to access the portal, so thank god I know what the outcome was going to be. Otherwise I might have had a heart attack. mandelbulb 1

Interesting how application deadlines play in! I think my first application was actually pretty decent because it was due the week before any of my others, so I focused more on writing for that one (which had a separate statement of purpose & then a personal/diversity statement). Then I scrambled in the next week to craft one solid standalone statement of purpose, which I think made later applications suffer.
dilby Posted February 22, 2019 Posted February 22, 2019 Got my rejection from Modern Thought and Literature at Stanford. MTL was my dream program so this one really hurts my heart. Looking like Rice may be the only place I'm able to go if I move off the waitlist. Good luck with these final programs, everyone.

Oh, shoot. I'm so sorry! Via E-mail, or is the decision also reflected on the portal? (I'm also still waiting for my results.) Also, fingers crossed for U of T and Yale still for ya!
dilby Posted February 22, 2019 Posted February 22, 2019 It was via email! If you haven't heard back yet I'll keep my fingers crossed for you. spacea 1

WildeThing Posted February 22, 2019 Posted February 22, 2019 That solitary Brown acceptance is really messing with my head. Englishandteamakesahappyme 1
dilby Posted February 22, 2019 Posted February 22, 2019 Got that Toront-NO, so my only pending programs are Yale (LOL) and the Rice waitlist. I am not holding my breath on Yale, so good luck to everyone who still has places to hear back from !!!
deka Posted February 22, 2019 Posted February 22, 2019 Just got rejected from Brown Modern Culture and Media. Was getting a bit antsy even though I most likely wouldn't go over the other programs I'm considering. I can't say I'm that sad, because after Wendy Chun left a year or so ago, the department is pretty all over the place in regards to media theory. It just sucks getting rejected, period, haha. I thought my app was solid, but there honestly was no fit. Well, now I just have the master's programs left.
tacocat211 Posted February 22, 2019 Posted February 22, 2019 anyone else heard from Chapel Hill? is it to early to consider it a rejection if we haven't heard yet? I know a few waitlist notices went out and just a couple acceptances were posted to the board, so i'm kinda confused.
havemybloodchild Posted February 22, 2019 Posted February 22, 2019 Honesty felt good to let those sweet, sweet UPenn and JH rejections wash over me this morning. I’m ready for April. ExileFromAFutureTime 1
Musmatatus Posted February 25, 2019 Posted February 25, 2019 (edited) No news is bad news for Brown, it looks like! Empty portal. Edit: Reviewing the results board from last year, it looks like they will send out official rejections ~3 days after. Edited February 25, 2019 by sugilite mustmatatus 1
santraash Posted February 25, 2019 Posted February 25, 2019 Yeah. And I was just checking out Brown results over the past decade. No one has ever been waitlisted there! Ever! Don't they have one? How do they maintain their cohort size?

If they are accepting ~18 every year, then I guess they're just depending that 1/3 of them accept?? IDK.

Brown English maintains an invisible waitlist. You're still in the game if you haven't received a rejection from Brown. We discovered that last year when some of us asked why we hadn't been notified and the coordinator told us about a waitlist. Musmatatus, dangermouse and spectrum-in 1 2

santraash Posted February 25, 2019 Posted February 25, 2019 Oh! Good to know. In that case, I really hope I don’t hear from them in, what, three days from now?! Will be a welcome change when I frantically check my email in the hope of not getting anything! Musmatatus 1

grandr Posted February 25, 2019 Posted February 25, 2019 Why haven't NYU and Berkeley sent out their rejections yet? This is getting ridiculous honestly... Also, how are we feeling about Yale? Is that an implied rejection?

Also, how are we feeling about Yale? Is that an implied rejection? Looking at last year Berkeley didn’t bother to send rejections out until like late March, I think.
