brontebitch Posted February 14, 2019 Share Posted February 14, 2019 2 hours ago, Sav said: Thanks! No, they didn’t but I feel like I’ve heard CUNY admits a rather large cohort, somewhere around 20 students. Someone correct me if I’m wrong. Also, I received a personal email from a professor at 9:18pm CST so I think it’s fair to assume they are notifying individually, at various times. Fingers crossed for you!! Good luck! I spoke with my POI at CUNY in the fall and she said they only admit 8-10 students a year for the PhD but ???? Who knows and congratulations!!!

About two weeks ago a very kind professor called me. He told me that Cornell's Comp Lit Department only had 2 spots, which I think is ludicrous. Anyway, he told me that I was not accepted to Compt Lit, but that my application was referred to Romance Studies, where I was accepted (he told me they had a lot more places). In short, I think that ad comms recurrently come across wonderful applicants whom they wish to accept, but financial issues prevent them from doing so. Hope that helps. omg 2 spots. that actually sounds scary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MetaphysicalDrama Posted February 14, 2019 Share Posted February 14, 2019 I received an email notification from SMU to visit the campus as a "top tier" applicant. No formal offer has been made, so I'm just curious if there is any advice out there for slamming that final interview. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Wordsworthian Posted February 14, 2019 Share Posted February 14, 2019 Were the e-mail notifications for UVA acceptances form e-mails or personalized? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Incorrect. CUNY English now admits 20 PhD students every academic year. It was significantly more (40?) a decade ago when the funding wasn't what it is now. 341 applied last year. 40 offers were initially made. (This includes 25 funded offers and 15 or so waitlisted offers.) Our entering class was 20 when I came into the program for the Fall of 2017. This should not have changed, but we are now in talks to give offers to students who wish to pursue the program part-time. Do what you can with 26.1k though.

monsterheart Posted February 15, 2019 Share Posted February 15, 2019 Thanks for the response, @Sav. I'm just amazed every year at the cohort size that seems to be decreasing all the time. Well, cheers for everyone in the same boat! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is really helpful to know and plan in advance (for the next cycle...).

madandmoonly Posted February 15, 2019 Share Posted February 15, 2019 Officially heard back from all the schools I applied to (well, + one interview request, but for the sake of argument). I look forward to going through this process all over again in 20 years when I'm bored & itching for more suffering, & seeing which (out-of-state) schools I can, hopefully, get into (am I joking, probably not).
