ghost-enthusiast Posted February 8, 2021 Share Posted February 8, 2021 So if Cornell waitlists have gone out does that mean that the two acceptances last week were the only ones? also the lone McGill acceptance? and also Yale?? I feel very confused and I thrive on information but none of it is clear and my poor lil portals are just sitting there undisturbed!! cassidyaxx and languageisaskin 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MaoistTowelette Posted February 8, 2021 Share Posted February 8, 2021 Cornell rejection was no surprise. They've rejected me before, it's kind of the way our relationship works. Are they still out there in IU-Bloomington? Did they get buried in snow? And Vanderbilt? semiotic_mess, j.j.pizza, TheorySchmeory and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bopie5 Posted February 8, 2021 Share Posted February 8, 2021 In at Davis!!! My first English acceptance of this cycle. Really exciting and particularly validating since I was rejected from their program in my last app cycle. I'm so happy! Funding details to come, but it feels amazing to have multiple good offers on the table. cassidyaxx, kirbs005, HipsterDoofus and 24 others 25 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was raised in/lived in Davis for a while and still have family there/in the area, so if you have any questions about the town, send me a DM!

It did make me emotional ngl because it feels like such a concrete marker of how much I've grown as a person/scholar and developed my research over the past few years. This one feels particularly personal, in a good way. I'll definitely be sending a DM your way ? 1 minute ago, clara salmon said: Congrats!! I'm accepted to Davis as well, also my first acceptance!

What are your areas of interest? I've been rejected from Cornell and currently waiting on Yale, UAlbany, Santa Barbara, and CUNY. My specializations are a bit all over but mainly environmental/ecocritical studies and food studies, with film/horror on the side. What do you do?! Let me know if you want to connect!

queenofcarrotflowers Posted February 8, 2021 Share Posted February 8, 2021 Movement for UMich English has got me antsy enough to forget about the (totally expected) Cornell rejection... Wondering if the posted rejection was actually for English and Education, since results for that usually tend to come out earlier, and nobody else from the general programme seems to have heard anything? Either way, hoping we hear back soon... best of luck everyone, happy to see some of y'all getting very well-deserved acceptances!! sadevilminion 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have some things in common--I do television studies, particularly reality television, particularly reality cooking competitions. So essentially a triangulation of television studies, food studies, and ethnic studies/theories of race/whiteness studies. But I also do horror film on the side lol. I'll DM you.

Not_a_Robot22 Posted February 9, 2021 Share Posted February 9, 2021 Has anyone else not gotten any PhD acceptances yet? I'm finishing my MA this semester and this is my first cycle applying to PhDs. I've gotten 3 rejections (Berkeley, Northwestern, and Cornell), no interviews or waitlists, and 7 more programs left to hear from. I'm not holding my breath :/ Lighthouse Lana, cassidyaxx, R Westy and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robertsona_grad Posted February 9, 2021 Share Posted February 9, 2021 I've only heard back from one school, Berkeley, and it was a rejection. Hang in there! Kapol-in, cassidyaxx and Not_a_Robot22 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is my second cycle applying to PhD programs; 2 rejections so far, no interviews. Really not feeling hopeful, and not looking forward to going through it again in a year... For what it's worth, I think the usually absurdly competitive process is even more cutthroat this year, as people are applying to PhD cycles to put off entering the barren COVID job market post-graduation.
