WildeingOut Posted February 20, 2019 Share Posted February 20, 2019 @Englishandteamakesahappyme yeah who knows! It seems that rejections are really late this year. Of course no one wants to get one, but at least there's a sense of certainty then. I guess we have no choice but to stay tuned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WildeingOut Posted February 20, 2019 Share Posted February 20, 2019 @breemartini i'm also one of the ones to not receive a Columbia rejection. I was wondering today if it's because rejections are going out in an alphabetical order, but there's no real way of knowing after all. It's confusing being that some people reported being waitlisted for Columbia, so not receiving a waitlist notification would imply a rejection, but maybe something else is up. Everything seems to be very mystifying this cycle. breemartini 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rr732 Posted February 20, 2019 Share Posted February 20, 2019 i thought i read somewhere on here that it's normal (maybe even encouraged?) to ask to be connected to current students where you've been accepted/waitlisted. i'm in touch with the DGS--is he the one to ask to connect me??

I’ve asked at all my waitlist schools, I just asked whoever let me know I was waitlisted and I’ve been connected to grad students within a few days every time.

So looking forward to being out of this limbo and planning the future. At least I had a snow day from work today and could take Ursula on a nice hike: Yeah, that's the case for me too. There's so many things I have to do, but I can only do them after I hear back from all the schools I've applied to. But oh gosh, what a cutie!!

awildsheep Posted February 20, 2019 Share Posted February 20, 2019 2 hours ago, trytostay said: Hm, that does seem a bit odd. Have waitlist/acceptance/rejections been posted for any of the schools you applied to? I've seen that people have already been accepted to NYU, CUNY, and Duke; however, I haven't heard back from any of them. A few of the others still don't have anything (Harvard, UPenn, Rutgers, UCLA-comp lit). I'd honesty rather have the rejection than being in this state of uncertainty. tcatherine 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hate to break it to you but I think you’ve still got a shot for a waitlist at all of those! So you might have a few more days of uncertainty. I do know that all of NYU’s offers are out, though. Not entirely sure about the others as I didn’t apply there! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stressbot3000 Posted February 20, 2019 Share Posted February 20, 2019 So I have heard literally nothing from UVA. No rejection email, no change to portal. I asked not to be referred to the MA. Anyone have ANY idea what’s going on rn? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Englishandteamakesahappyme Posted February 20, 2019 Share Posted February 20, 2019 @stressbot3000 This is why we all call it "purgatory." I did not apply to UVA, but I'm chiming in for emotional support. Best of luck to you! Hopefully you get some good news soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anjali.P Posted February 20, 2019 Share Posted February 20, 2019 Hi, I'm an international applicant. Has anyone heard back from Rutgers University (New Brunswick) about their PhD English application for Fall 2019? I saw just one acceptance on the results page posted on 8 Feb 2019. Has anyone got any idea if Rutgers has sent out all their first list acceptances yet? I checked their website but it just says 'no decision'. This is so nerve-racking!

purrfectpals Posted February 20, 2019 Share Posted February 20, 2019 Hi, fellow international applicant! I also applied to Rutgers and unfortunately haven't heard anything from them either. ? It's so, so nervewrecking. I really hope they would get back to us soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone have ANY idea what’s going on rn? same situation! no additional insight here, but waiting in solidarity. it seems like it’s clearly a no since they said all acceptances/waitlists went out, which makes it extra frustrating to have heard absolutely nothing. @Anjali.P I think the consensus here is that nothing has officially gone out from rutgers! no one has heard anything else apart from that one stray post - someone could have been alerted unofficially but it doesn’t seem like it was part of a round of notifications. we should be due for news from there soon. fingers crossed!

tcatherine Posted February 20, 2019 Share Posted February 20, 2019 If Rutgers can see how many times I've checked their app portal then it's almost definite they're going to deny me on grounds of insanity. eddyrynes, kvlt.nihilist, FiguresIII and 5 others 6 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
