Lighthouse Lana Posted April 12, 2021 Posted April 12, 2021 Hi everyone! I just turned down Syracuse. I was waitlisted for funding, but I really hope this helps someone else!!
MariusTheEpicurean Posted April 12, 2021 Posted April 12, 2021 I just turned down acceptances at CUNY, UT Austin, and University of Tulsa. Hoping this helps someone! I'm having mixed feelings about it all, but I'm relieved that this chapter is over. Lighthouse Lana, Hard times! and kirbs005 3
The Maritime Scholar Posted April 12, 2021 Posted April 12, 2021 I just received an email from Auburn saying I was taken off the waitlist and accepted. I replied declining the offer.

maddykrob Posted April 14, 2021 Posted April 14, 2021 I know Penn State has been historically bad with response times, but have they ever been this bad?
maddykrob Posted April 14, 2021 Posted April 14, 2021 anyone have any insight on potential movements for UAlbany or University of Florida?

It seems pretty rude to make people pay a stupid amount of money just to never hear back... I just emailed them again to ask what's going on. maddykrob 1
Magic Lantern Posted April 15, 2021 Posted April 15, 2021 Is this normal if I still have not heard anything from a program I applied to in December? It's a US program so I assume they go by the 4/15 deadline...
EMar Posted April 15, 2021 Posted April 15, 2021 I have been accepted off of the UCONN waitlist. Very excited for this! For anyone still waiting, I turned down the offer of funding. I am already teaching FT in the community college system on the tenure track. Hopefully, this means another funded spot will open. Kaharim, cassidyaxx, isabelxarcher and 1 other 4

All initial decisions should be made by now (though there were posts here recently about Penn State abhorrently doing rolling admissions).

Lighthouse Lana Posted April 15, 2021 Posted April 15, 2021 FINALLLYYYY! Just got my rejection from Penn State! I'm so glad this season is over. I'm wishing all of you the absolute best! kirbs005, angrychalupa, isabelxarcher and 1 other 4
The Maritime Scholar Posted April 15, 2021 Posted April 15, 2021 I finally got rejected from Penn State. How freaking ridiculous. So disrespectful to other programs for taking this long. I can't believe I waited this long for them before making a final decision. I should've accepted at OSU literally a month ago. But whatever. I AM PROUD TO BE #BUCKEYEBOUND! Lighthouse Lana 1
jujubee Posted April 16, 2021 Posted April 16, 2021 My season has formally ended with a rejection from UNLV yesterday. I have signed with UCSD for Literatures in English! Thank you for all the encouragement and camaraderie and just the overall open-heartedness here. I wish everyone the best--those who are off to grad school and those applying next year. Now the real work begins ? 6a/7r kirbs005, mashatheicebear, Kapol-in and 3 others 6
