But like, edgier, who lectures Fred on his misogyny and why he isn't entitled to direct the group. Given my profile picture of a romantic young Donne with the locks of love, I’ll put dibs on Shaggy. havemybloodchild 1

jadeisokay Posted February 22, 2019 Posted February 22, 2019 unless i get into the maph program at chicago, it's looking like a shutout for me. see you all next year and best of luck to everyone the rest of this cycle. Englishandteamakesahappyme 1
jillcicle Posted February 22, 2019 Posted February 22, 2019 (edited) wtf 3 rejections from UVA sent through and my email is... still empty??? Did they lose the app can you just reject me already?! Columbia did gradually rollouts of rejections too and that also sucked. I just want to know! There's nothing on my portal, either. I checked just in case. Edited February 22, 2019 by jillcicle

MeginAK Posted February 23, 2019 Posted February 23, 2019 Got my funding letter from Oregon, and I'm pretty confused about what it's saying. Is there anyone I could message who might be able to help me? I emailed them back but I have a feeling they won't be answering until Monday...

roadrunner_33 Posted February 23, 2019 Posted February 23, 2019 Hiiii! Is anyone else still waiting to hear from UPenn (English PhD)? Still no email or decision posted on ApplyWeb. Waitlist? Implied rejection? writeshere 1
writeshere Posted February 23, 2019 Posted February 23, 2019 @roadrunner_33 I haven't heard back either! I keep checking my portal but it seems like all acceptances and rejections went out already...? It's weird! roadrunner_33 1

Good riddance, UVA! @toxicmoss - I'll post my general tips to interpreting offers just so it's public knowledge and anyone can weigh in with their tips, too. Basically, sometimes offer letters are a little confusing at first glance. Depending on the institution, sometimes they state the amount of money they are covering in tuition, student fees, health insurance, which is all included in part of your package. However, the only amount of money that you'll ever see (i.e. be able to use to pay rent/buy food) is the stipend--which is much, much less. Be sure you're using the stipend only when you're trying to check out the cost of living in an area! Edited February 23, 2019 by sugilite MeginAK, Anonymouse124 and toxicmoss 1 2
