Musmatatus Posted February 22, 2019 Posted February 22, 2019 Big congrats to the Brown acceptance! I've never received a call, so I'm wondering...do the professors who are calling take into consideration time zones? I assume they are calling students in earlier time zones (I'm on the west coast, it's just turning 8am here) right now...or has anyone received a call at a wildly early/late time?
Englishandteamakesahappyme Posted February 22, 2019 Posted February 22, 2019 Okay folks, that's a wrap. Looks like a singular acceptance to Brown's PhD this year! Just kidding. Trying to provide some levity. ? mwils15, dangermouse and disidentifications 3
santraash Posted February 22, 2019 Posted February 22, 2019 Well, Brown has always informed people over emails. A lot of things going differently this year. But it's strange how NO ONE else here has heard anything from them since the notification. They take 18 people, for crying out loud! Someone ought to have heard something! mwils15 1

Someone ought to have heard something! Right. I'm expecting some rejections to be mixed in today as well. SOMETHING. On a separate issue, am I the only person here who has gotten no answer either way from any grad program?! I'm totally in the dark. After today, I think I shall safely assume I am in the "shutout" category. ?♂️

I’m pretty stoked. My focus is on psychoanalysis and trans studies. My proposed project was a critique of queer theory’s antinormative habits from a trans studies perspective.
writeshere Posted February 22, 2019 Posted February 22, 2019 @Englishandteamakesahappyme @arbie @sugilite That's my post on the board from this morning!!! I am still in utter shock!!!!!

As for Brown phone calls, I agree with @santraash -- I don't think it's the norm (due to previous results and the info I received via phone, which was very specific to my application, but hey, who knows?). I also received a nice acceptance email from the DGS not too long ago, so maybe information will go out shortly if it hasn't already! Best of luck!!! arbie, havemybloodchild, Musmatatus and 1 other 4
jusrain Posted February 23, 2019 Posted February 23, 2019 Does anyone know normal cohort size for Rutgers?

Yes, we're definitely aware of where you are and what the time difference might be. Sometimes makes for some bleary-eyed phone calls to international students ...

amphilanthus Posted February 23, 2019 Posted February 23, 2019 accepted at Rutgers!!! just about burst into happy tears when I saw the area code appear on my phone - it’s been a lot of bad news in a row and i’m really glad to (mostly) wrap things up with good news. dreampigeon, The Wordsworthian, thismortalcoil and 3 others 6
The Wordsworthian Posted February 23, 2019 Posted February 23, 2019 @amphilanthus Congratulations! Did you receive a call from your POI?

sad_diamond Posted February 23, 2019 Posted February 23, 2019 Accepted at Rutgers got a nice phone call from a POI. funny to me that i did well with traditional English programs and poorly with interdisciplinary programs when i thought it would be the opposite.

Rootbound Posted February 23, 2019 Posted February 23, 2019 In at Rutgers! What a thrill. Very sweet call from my POI. amphilanthus, thismortalcoil and ExileFromAFutureTime 3
