beardedlady Posted February 4, 2019 Posted February 4, 2019 Congrats to all the acceptees these last few days! And a very very sympathetic if socially-awkward nod of commiseration to those rejected and those still waiting. trytostay 1

The Wordsworthian Posted February 4, 2019 Posted February 4, 2019 Congratulations @kendalldinniene! I really hope the funding comes through.

havemybloodchild Posted February 4, 2019 Posted February 4, 2019 Thank you all for being much more positive than me. For some reason this acceptance hurt worse than my rejections so far. But if funding actually comes through maybe it'll turn out great. I'm not really a glass half full kinda gal, forgive me. @Sav the email wasn't too specific about how the waitlist works, it basically said it's possible for there to be movement and they'll let me know.

In 2017, I was accepted to my MA and waitlisted for funding also, and ended up receiving the equivalent funding everyone else received (GA>TA). Don't lose hope!

effietheant Posted February 4, 2019 Posted February 4, 2019 Does anyone know where that on McGill acceptance came from? I didn't think we'd hear from them until end of the month.
tacocat211 Posted February 4, 2019 Posted February 4, 2019 Happy to say I've just received my official acceptance from Texas A&M! (currently finishing my master's here) That first acceptance feels good. Pnwonder, arbie, mandelbulb and 1 other 3 1

AlmaZ Posted February 5, 2019 Posted February 5, 2019 Long time lurker here:) Just writing to claim the UChicago Comparative Literature acceptance on the board. Received an email from the head of the Admission Committee a couple of hours ago welcoming me to the program. Excited as this is one of my top choices! thismortalcoil, reluctanthuman, havemybloodchild and 11 others 13 1
The Wordsworthian Posted February 5, 2019 Posted February 5, 2019 Anyone want to claim the Colorado Boulder acceptance and give a little more info on the cohort size bit you included on the Results Board? Congratulations, by the way! CatBowl 1

I know I should not pin much hope on this top dream program when I did not receive the interview. Having completed my MA at Chicago and taken tons of classes in Comp Lit, I think it'd be ideal to do scholarly work as well as live there. Hope you'll say yes
tacocat211 Posted February 5, 2019 Posted February 5, 2019 Just realized there was a Penn. State acceptance on the board from Feb. 1? Anyone?? I thought Penn. State was a much later decision. Anyone claim this? Or has anyone else heard anything? or is this a rogue..

I have since been checking my application portal frequently, but nothing has changed other than a pending status.

Might've just been someone who typed in the wrong school or wanted us all to sweat a little bit haha.
havemybloodchild Posted February 5, 2019 Posted February 5, 2019 Anyone here the University of Illinois acceptance?
rr732 Posted February 5, 2019 Posted February 5, 2019 Congrats to the umass acceptance! Do you mind sharing your area of focus?

Do you mind sharing your area of focus? that's me!! just made an account to respond to this because i'm still so floored. my focus is american studies/poetics and specifically i'm interested in tracking linguistic change in radical/avant garde poetry movements! i'm also a comp instructor so i want to explore how white language privilege affects the creative writing workshop classroom, which is something i expressed in my SOP. let me just say i am completely floored by this acceptance. this is the main school i truly did not expect to hear from, and the rejection from the MFA 4 years ago still hurts, so this is some real vindication.
