The status of my application page still just says "submitted," and I haven't received any email. I'm not notified by Stanford MTL either. Don't know what does this mean.

Or the email told you to check the app site for an update? I hesitate to contact Stanford just to get rejected. Made that mistake with Berkeley.

ashwel11 Posted February 21, 2020 Posted February 21, 2020 Just received my MTL rejection as well. Good luck to everyone!
shieldmaiden Posted February 22, 2020 Posted February 22, 2020 Still no word from Princeton...I am beginning to doubt that I applied to it at all?
brownjournal Posted February 22, 2020 Posted February 22, 2020 Just got my MTL rejection too. When your own school rejects you ?? (although I’ve since learned it’s not a great idea to get your PhD from the same place you got your bachelor’s, so I guess it’s okay)

I applied to Comp Lit PhDs at NYU, Princeton and Columbia. I haven't heard a single word from any of these schools. I saw the one person who said they an acceptance from Princeton a while back, and I think someone got an interview invitation from Columbia. No one said anything about NYU this year but it seems like they sent out results by this time in the years before. Does anybody have any other information about these schools. I don't want to lose all hope so please someone tell me I still have a chance! Do you think emailing schools asking about the results could affect the results in any way? My understanding, based on gradcafe forums, peers and those whom I know that are part of the Comp Lit NYU program is that NYU has not yet sent out interview invitations. I assume they will be doing so this forthcoming week, early on most likely.

I'm guessing all the invites went out around the same time?

Perhaps you should mark this on the results page as there has been no word concerning these invites and such yet. I suppose this is telling then for all of who have been patiently waiting.

AnneElliot Posted February 24, 2020 Posted February 24, 2020 Oof, tough day. I received rejection emails from both Princeton and NYU today! Congrats to everyone who got in.
lurkergalore Posted February 25, 2020 Posted February 25, 2020 Fully expecting a rejection, but if I didn't hear anything from NYU yet are they just slow on rejecting me or is there any hope left?

kvek Posted February 25, 2020 Posted February 25, 2020 Someone added rejection from Oregon in the board. Wondering when they will send me any kind of response. Oh, I still didn't get from them, Indiana and PennState. Exhausted... Waiting... Checking mailbox 50 times a day...

herinterstellar Posted February 26, 2020 Posted February 26, 2020 hey guys, have been lurking for quite a while and think it's time to post something. I only applied to Cambridge and Oxford's master courses, and got my rejection for the English one several days before. The only one I'm still waiting for and is slightly hopeful about is the the Comparative Literature and Critical Translation course at Oxford. However, there's very little information on that course on the internet and it seems to be an extremely new program (they just started it last year and it is attached to a research center rather than any department). I wonder has anyone also applied to this course or has heard anything about it (good or bad, whatever).

kvek Posted February 26, 2020 Posted February 26, 2020 I couldn't resist and I sent an e-mail to Penn State, if anyone is interested, they said that they were planning to send rejection e-mails in Monday, however because I asked, they told me that I was the one who is rejected. It was really very polite e-mail but it is rejection so.... Now, I have only two places which I didn't hear from them yet: Indiana and Oregon. Let's see what is going to happen...

RaskolnikovsConscience Posted February 26, 2020 Posted February 26, 2020 @kvek, Thanks for taking the time to email them/let us know. I'm bracing myself for a difficult start to next week now. Best of luck with Indiana and Oregon, though!
kvek Posted February 27, 2020 Posted February 27, 2020 @RaskolnikovsConscience If you applied MA, don't worry because the e-mail contains this: "We'll send out formal letters next Monday, after we've sent out the last batch of admissions (to MA applicants)." So, there is a possibility that they can send acceptance for MA applicants. RaskolnikovsConscience 1
