I have declined all but Stony Brook, but even after others have declined Tufts and WashU in St. Louis, no word from the adcomms. I will keep holding on until the last minute, but happy to be at Stony Brook if that's the case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

foppery Posted April 6, 2010 Share Posted April 6, 2010 Just accepted an early modern spot at Princeton. (I know the "already attending" bit is confusing--Princeton accepted me last year, I went somewhere else and decided to reapply to Princeton, and they let me in again. Weirdness.)

(I know the "already attending" bit is confusing--Princeton accepted me last year, I went somewhere else and decided to reapply to Princeton, and they let me in again. Weirdness.) Oh, I should mention that I didn't have anywhere to decline, because I applied only to Princeton this year. Long story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

downtownchick Posted April 6, 2010 Share Posted April 6, 2010 Declined U Conn unfunded MA (Comp Lit) today. It's a decline although I don't see it's really a spot per se. Good luck everybody. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Christmas Posted April 6, 2010 Share Posted April 6, 2010 Today I declined funded spots at Georgia, South Carolina, and Louisiana State. I have an MA, so these were all for a PhD. Good luck everybody! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meowmeow Posted April 8, 2010 Share Posted April 8, 2010 I declined funded spots at Virginia Tech and Miami University. I saw someone was wait-listed for a GTA, which I had, so I hope you get it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ratiocinator Posted April 9, 2010 Share Posted April 9, 2010 I accepted at Duke! I also turned down offers from Virginia (President's Fellowship), NYU, and Hopkins. I know that there are several people waiting anxiously on the first two, so hopefully the good news keeps on coming! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know that there are several people waiting anxiously on the first two, so hopefully the good news keeps on coming! YAY! Congrats! Duke's a fantastic program (though I'm glad to see that NYU made you an offer as well). You were innudated with good options...but I'm not surprised that Duke rose to the top on your list.

I would hardly call myself inundated (you, on the other hand, can certainly claim that honor), but it was definitely a tough call. NYU was both very tempting and very persistent, but I think it worked out for the best—and I'm so glad that you, too, got what you wanted this cycle!
