blancacastillo Posted January 20, 2020 Posted January 20, 2020 I have taken the terrible decision of only applying to two major universities - not out of presumption, rather because there were not other programs which reflected my interests as much - and now I'm regretting it big time, as I fear both will turn me down. Do you guys know whether there are any late deadlines or spring admissions that I could lean on? cidadao 1
caeiro Posted January 20, 2020 Posted January 20, 2020 @blancacastillo, still very competitive, but IIRC the deadline for Columbia CPLT is 2/13. cidadao 1

ztshin Posted January 20, 2020 Posted January 20, 2020 One of my MA cohorts was contacted by Yale coordinator around the same time. (Actually not sure if the result page one was her or not.) She applied to Complit + Film Studies though. They might have a different timetable than pure Complit? cidadao 1

cidadao Posted January 22, 2020 Posted January 22, 2020 Still no word on Yale? Starting to lose hope, here...

Volodine1 Posted January 22, 2020 Posted January 22, 2020 do programs usually send out all of their interview invites in one batch? or do they sometimes do two waves of invites and/or acceptances? if we see that a bunch of people have been invited for interviews at one program, does that tend to me the program has finished reviewing and those who did not receive an invitation are out of the running at that point?

I think it depends on the program. I know UPenn's Comp. Lit. program did two rounds last year but I think most have like one big round of interviews? Maybe call their office tomorrow and ask or see if someone on here has any info to the school in particular that you're worried about

I'm the Yale interviewee! Got the email on the 15th (for the pure comp lit program), and the interview is happening next week (because I'm traveling a lot these two weeks). The coordinator sounds a little burnt out in our exchanges so that might be why no one has replied to @blancacastillo's email inquiries. It's my dream program and my dream POI will be doing the interview, so the anxiety is unreal.... vondafkossum and Rrandle101 2

Fingers crossed for your interview! The consensus is that Yale CPLT interviews all eventual admits, correct? And that invites to interview typically go out within a few days of one another? Trying to recalibrate expectations.
foreigncorrespondent Posted January 25, 2020 Posted January 25, 2020 Have Comparative Literature acceptances to Northwestern been sent out? I saw one acceptance, and now I'm just curious if there are any more. Taking this as an informal rejection...
foreigncorrespondent Posted January 25, 2020 Posted January 25, 2020 Okay, I think I spoke too soon, since I got my acceptance to Northwestern soon after this post. All the best to all applicants! Rrandle101, karamazov, caffeinated applicant and 1 other 4
Volodine1 Posted January 26, 2020 Posted January 26, 2020 Congrats! Anyone know when cuny and columbia make their decisions? Thanks and good luck everyone!

Columbia gets back mid-Feb, something around 15th to 25th, going by Gradcafe result trends. I've applied to the ICLS track too, all the best!

pdh12 Posted January 27, 2020 Posted January 27, 2020 Hey! Anyone here the Stanford interviewee on the results page? good luck!
caeiro Posted January 28, 2020 Posted January 28, 2020 Not sure how to read my interviews — definitely could have prepared better answers, but faculty seemed pretty friendly. Hard to know how decisive a factor these will be in the admissions process. Djinns&Dragons 1

Agreed...Had my Duke interview yesterday and it was definitely something like an exam...penetrating and scholarly questions, not just "getting to know you better" or clarifications of application materials. I'm just gonna (try to!) forget about it and wait for the decisions.
RaskolnikovsConscience Posted January 28, 2020 Posted January 28, 2020 I'm curious -- are there any other CompLit M.A. applicants here? I'm curious to see where you all have applied/when you start hearing back from places.
