It kind of gives me the impression that the more slots people are available for, the more likely they are to be interviewed, which I really hope isn’t the case since I’m only available one day (by chance, otherwise I work full time). 

To quote the email: “The department will not be able to interview all of the candidates at this round of the admissions process, so not all of you will receive a request for an interview.”

I would honestly like to believe that they're not going to reject people on the basis of being less than 100% available to do an interview with such short notice. That would be extremely shitty of them. As long as you opened up a couple of slots, I can't imagine it being a problem, not to mention a whole day. But, I mean, I'm just working off a basic assumption of minimal human decency and fairness. I sincerely hope you get an interview! All we can do now is wait.

I must learn this optimism (or basic faith in humanity...). I hope you get it too!

look at you go @arbie!

To be fair, I won’t say how many schools I applied to, but it’s an embarrassing high number to play the odds.?

Thanks!! It’s very early days still so the odds are definitely in our favor! Wishing you much success!

(Though, it is nice to have three days where we don’t have to constantly refresh our email lol)

Lol I checked the results page immediately this morning and then had conflicting feelings of relief and impatient desperation. Still feeling that feeling.

Looks like Ohio State updated the application portals with acceptances. I'm in, unless their system made a severe error. 

Congrats!!!

Sorry, I did not apply to Tennessee. I was just congratulating whoever had posted on the board. I believe it was @arbie!

I got an email from the DGS last Thursday. I checked the system out of curiosity and nothing had been updated on the online portal. I will say my offer came with an additional source of funding on top of the base, so it’s possible others are still to come, if that’s a common occurance. 

For reference, I study cultural productions of modern and contemporary women across the African diaspora, with a Postcolonial and intersectional lens.

@Matthew3957 Thank you! Just got the call today around four from a poi- he said funding info and official acceptance letter would be sent later this week. Good luck, I’m sure you’ll hear something soon.

Congrats and thank you very much! That helps a lot. Well, maybe there is still hope for more acceptance letters..
