Well, maybe there is still hope for more acceptance letters.. Expand Thanks! I think there will be—there isn’t a specific visit weekend, they just want to get them done by February. I am waiting to hear back from many other schools, so I’ll let you know what I decide to do! Edited January 22, 2019 by arbie JuliaStelmach 1

spectrum-in Posted January 23, 2019 Posted January 23, 2019 I also got in!! Longtime lurker :). I ended up applying to the Bridge Program and didn't hear anything back, they might let us know later! I know they said more info would be coming in a separate email. Musmatatus, mandelbulb and Pnwonder 2 1

Warelin Posted January 23, 2019 Posted January 23, 2019 Congrats to all of those that have received an acceptance letter thus far. To those that haven't, most schools don't release decisions until Mid-Feb. There is still plenty of time left. On a side note: Please review financial offers carefully. In previous years, some programs that used to guarantee 5 years of funding only offered 3 years of funding to certain students citing funding problems as a reason. Please, please review those letters carefully to ensure you know what you are getting yourself into. Side note 2: Some programs guarantee 5 years of funding based on satisfactory performance. I wouldn't worry about these as much as it's mostly to safeguard against someone accepting an offer and then leaving the program mid-way through. In most cases failing to keep up your grades would result in the end of your funding if one fails to keep them at the required level. Regimentations, The Wordsworthian, j.alicea and 9 others 12
Englishtea1 Posted January 23, 2019 Author Posted January 23, 2019 @WildeThing thanks! And yes I did opt to do the bridge program though I haven’t received any info on it in the letter.

Pnwonder Posted January 23, 2019 Posted January 23, 2019 To any of the Madison folks that have received acceptances so far ( @Englishtea1 @spectrum-in ) would you mind specifying if it was the Lit or Rhet/Comp program you applied to? And congratulations! ? spectrum-in 1
spectrum-in Posted January 23, 2019 Posted January 23, 2019 @Pnwonder it was to Literary Studies! Specific interest in Caribbean folklore :) Mumasatus and Pnwonder 1 1
Englishtea1 Posted January 23, 2019 Author Posted January 23, 2019 @Pnwonder I applied to literary studies! Also, @WildeThing I lied... lol I didn’t apply for the Afro-Am bridge program. I confused this with another school. After reading I realized the program offered an MA which I know I didn’t opt for given that I have an MA already.
j.alicea Posted January 23, 2019 Posted January 23, 2019 @spectrum-in and @Englishtea1 Congratulations! Such an amazing program. Tejumola Olaniyan's Scars of Conquest/Masks of Resistance has been on my reading list for nearly two years, hopefully I will find time to read it over the summer. Englishtea1 1
reluctanthuman Posted January 23, 2019 Posted January 23, 2019 Another longtime lurker here I got acceptances from Ohio State and UW Madison. @Pnwonder I applied to Literary Studies, my intended research is on ecocriticism and British novel with a focus on Deleuzean theory.

NAL Posted January 23, 2019 Posted January 23, 2019 (edited) @Pnwonder Did you also apply to C&R program at UW-Madison? The waiting game is dreadful indeed. Edited January 23, 2019 by NAL
sad_diamond Posted January 23, 2019 Posted January 23, 2019 Just got an email from UC Irvine Comp Lit requesting a brief phone interview :') illcounsel, mandelbulb, fortschritt22 and 5 others 6 2

Pnwonder Posted January 23, 2019 Posted January 23, 2019 @NAL yes I did. Hoping that the literary studies announcements mean C&R should be just around the corner! Honestly not sure if there's any correlation though since I'd imagine the admissions committee is different for each program. Fingers crossed for both of us!
