yglesias Posted February 26, 2010 Share Posted February 26, 2010 Does any one want to claim the Purdue acceptance on the results page? I didnt think they would be making decissions for another week or so. Has anyone else heard from Purdue, or do you have any insights about the admissions for this year, class size, etc. - especially for those of us looking to the phd. in lit.

I'm pretty sure the secretary said they wouldn't be making notifications until March 7...I'm really confused, and thrown for a loop. Colleges need to stop this, or people need to stop messing with the results board. But if it was someone legit, I definitely send lots of congrats.

snowmiser Posted February 27, 2010 Share Posted February 27, 2010 The Purdue acceptance was mine. No idea if they notified multiple people or not--as always, this stuff is a mystery. As I've found myself with a couple acceptances this year that I thought were implicit rejections based on other people having been already accepted, though, I wouldn't assume anything yet (sorry, that sentence was way more complex than I meant it to be). Good luck to those still waiting! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good luck to those still waiting! Congratulations! That school looks wonderful, and if you decide to go, I hope it's fantastic. [Also, rereading my previous post, I realized I sounded very snippy. That was *not* directed at anyone. I should stay away from the boards when I have unrelated grad school crises. ] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm in the same (nervous) boat right now, as I thought Purdue would be sending acceptances later and am now excessively anxious about my chances of getting in ANYwhere, having not heard anything. As to snowmiser, congrats on the acceptance! Purdue is a strong program, and I'm sure you'll love it should you decide to go. All the best!

Nighthob Posted March 8, 2010 Share Posted March 8, 2010 Anybody got an update on Purdue? I still haven't heard anything, and I assume this is bad news. Can any confirm whether or not all PhD offers have been made? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blankPaige Posted March 8, 2010 Share Posted March 8, 2010 Anybody got an update on Purdue? I still haven't heard anything, and I assume this is bad news. Can any confirm whether or not all PhD offers have been made? Though I went to school in Bloomington, I lived a year in Lafayette while my boyfriend finished up in PharmD. There are definite cool spots in West Lafayette/Lafayette, and some not so good spots. Let me know if your wondering about housing/living! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nighthob Posted March 9, 2010 Share Posted March 9, 2010 I contacted the grad sec yesterday to get an update. She said Lit PhD applicants should hear something in a week or so. Good luck, all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chitown Posted March 11, 2010 Share Posted March 11, 2010 Any other Rhet/Comp people waiting to hear? I contacted the graduate secretary and she said my application was still under consideration, which I'm guessing means "We'll get your rejection out to you, eventually."

paddington5 Posted March 11, 2010 Share Posted March 11, 2010 (Sorry for such late posting, but I just got on GradCafe): I received an acceptance in the Ph.D. Lit program from Purdue around the first week in March via letter. The letter was dated late February, but the letter detailed TAship funding and a fellowship offer on top of it, which may explain the earlier acceptance. But best of luck to all -- it's a rough world out there, this year especially! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redread Posted March 28, 2010 Share Posted March 28, 2010 I'm still listed as "under review" for an MA application. Anybody else still waiting? Should I be concerned about not hearing from them, yet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
artist_lily Posted March 28, 2010 Share Posted March 28, 2010 I'm still listed as "under review" for an MA application. Anybody else still waiting? Should I be concerned about not hearing from them, yet? Tell me about it I applied to the MA in Literary Studies program and, like you, have yet to hear anything back. Luckily I already have a couple other offers I'm totally in love with, but seriously, what the heck are they doing over there? Let's just close this whole thing out already and be DONE with it all!

meowmeow Posted March 28, 2010 Share Posted March 28, 2010 I applied to the MA in Literary Studies program and, like you, have yet to hear anything back. Same here! This is one of the last schools I am waiting on to notify me for the MA. I was out of town this past week and was sure I would come home to find some news in the mail, but I was wrong.
