tinymica Posted February 27, 2020 Posted February 27, 2020 Me reading my Penn rejection: ahhh the sweet release of death ccab4670, jm6394, Volodine1 and 3 others 6
The Hoosier Oxonian Posted February 27, 2020 Posted February 27, 2020 Penn rejection on my portal too - thank goodness all my waiting is over! (I'm not even counting the implied rejection from NYU because I have zero emotional investment in it.) MichelleObama and jm6394 2
Cryss Posted February 27, 2020 Posted February 27, 2020 My application season ends with the official Penn rejection. Hope to never do it again. But alas, academia. Sending good vibes to everyone. AnachronisticPoet, merry night wanderer and MichelleObama 3

jm6394 Posted February 28, 2020 Posted February 28, 2020 I thought the rejection from Penn was sweet as far as template rejections go, even if they didn’t notify of the decision! Dogfish Head and merry night wanderer 2
Kelsey1599 Posted February 28, 2020 Posted February 28, 2020 Amidst the desperate cries for news from Boston, I am STILL trying to get a peep out of UCONN. I saw one rejection pop up the other day. I emailed the DGS, but I have not received a reply. Any suggestions or ideas?
digital_lime Posted February 28, 2020 Posted February 28, 2020 Anyone want to claim the Fordham acceptance on the board? ?

alphabet soup Posted February 28, 2020 Posted February 28, 2020 (edited) Just called Maryland- my app status still said “under departmental review.” She told me final results should come out next week. Just an update for those who are anxiously waiting cuz they saw the results people have posted of Maryland. Edited February 28, 2020 by alphabet soup
Jetpacked Posted February 28, 2020 Posted February 28, 2020 If there are any lurkers here for the Cambridge MPhils or PhDs — I know there have been acceptances on the board but not sure anyone has posted — I’ve been told by the department following a question about college scholarships that they’re not releasing any further info on funding (nominations or otherwise) for now. Results are due out with the rest of the studentship competitions in March. There have been some people this year who’ve mentioned hearing that they’ve not been put forward for funding, and last year they did seem to notify some nominees that they were under consideration in mid-March, but not sure what’s happening this time.

I am a novice to this whole process and generally afraid of emailing people in general. I mostly want to know 1) size of waitlist 2) general timeline for the process, but I'm not sure the best way to frame these questions. Reupping this, since I'm curious to know what the etiquette is for waitlistees to express their continued interest (beyond the initial "yes, I'd like to be on the waitlist" email). I'm also interested in knowing about how to ask/whether it is polite to ask about the size of the admitted cohort, the size of the waitlist, and one's ranking on the waitlist, in order to manage expectations.

gooniesneversaydie Posted February 28, 2020 Posted February 28, 2020 Holy crap that BU acceptance (not lit) on the board nearly made my heart stop and drop into my stomach. My heart/brain/head/waistline/wallet/mental health can't take much more of this. Lighthouse Lana, BetterLight13, Fading_light and 1 other 3 1
Emailchecker Posted February 28, 2020 Posted February 28, 2020 Anyone thinks BU will come through today?
tinymica Posted February 28, 2020 Posted February 28, 2020 Okay I just woke up from a stress dream wherein I went on a trip to Japan but completely forgot to get PTO from work. So I just......ditched my job and then got attacked by a Ring-esque creature. I need to relax, wow. gooniesneversaydie and vondafkossum 2

tinymica Posted February 28, 2020 Posted February 28, 2020 BU, you’re the problem. Yeah, you. It’s literally just you. Get it together. Lighthouse Lana, MundaneSoul and BetterLight13 3
Emailchecker Posted February 28, 2020 Posted February 28, 2020 Ok full disclosure: I think everyone is suffering because of me. I am in the mix, I am unusually unlucky, but this time I am taking everyone down with me. I am sorry. Someone/something is punishing me (with no acc, and one nail left to bite, and one school to hear from) and it's not your faults

While I hate that it comes down to this last school for you, I think you should recognize what an incredibly strong and bomb-ass person you are for going through this process. You are not taking anyone down - by being here and sharing your experiences you help lift us all up and give us comfort in knowing we're not alone. There are so many roads left to go down, so don't let this one throw you off completely. tinymica, Fading_light, MundaneSoul and 1 other 4

Hi, I am one of the PhD in English acceptances, and I was told that I was being put forward for funding when I was contacted by my POI, following which I had an interview with her. I don't know what the process is usually like, but I was very explicitly told that this is happening...
