That was strange too because (my)dreams are never this nice ?I am still trying to reckon if it is true or if something went really wrong and the acceptances ended up in my mailbox--haven't told anyone at home. I got a pretty nice acceptance mail from UConn's DGS (midnight mail) but didn't know how to put it up on the dashboard. Yet to hear from 7 places... I used two different proposals for the two schools but drew heavily on narrative ethics and the philosophy of time for both (post-1945 visual-verbal texts). I hope we all have something to validate our efforts and anxieties by the end of this cycle! Awesome! Congratulations! This is great to hear.

I hope you can sleep easier at night knowing not only that you’re going to grad school but that you also have a choice! If you’re comfortable sharing, what is the second school? Rochester. It's a good fit but I am still waiting to hear from my top choices... if at all. Though I am relieved. How about you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hard times! Posted February 19, 2022 Share Posted February 19, 2022 Btw, anything on Northeastern? Have they sent out acceptances and rejections already? I didn't see much on the dashboard except a couple of invites (also interviews I assume?)--NE is a top choice though only one person does comics in the whole department which is Hillary Chute. But then again she kind of made comics academic enough in the US... I know it's a redflag to not have an invite or interview but knowing for certain would make things easier.

katerinas Posted February 19, 2022 Share Posted February 19, 2022 If interviews have gone out for a school and you haven't received one, is that pretty much a guaranteed reject? I keep flipping back and forth between feeling hopeless about some schools and holding onto a little glimmer ? Still waiting to hear from 5 places, but at least 3 of them I've seen posts on the board about interviews or recruitment events, so I'm starting to feel a shutout creeping closer...

I have no idea really. I am international student and the US system is completely different from ours which is quite similar to the UK system... In the US, it seems some universities do interviews selectively: for some subfields or for some people. Sometimes they interview everyone. Pretty erratic in their patterns! From what I have heard (and I have only heard things) Northeastern always does interviews. So does Notre Dame. Not receiving an invite is not a good sign if the school you have applied to has been doing interviews historically... if only they were more transparent about the whole process!

sadevilminion Posted February 19, 2022 Share Posted February 19, 2022 I only applied to MA programs, and I’ve noticed a trend that some programs send out results for their PhD applicants and then send the MA results a few days or weeks later.

I reached out about a week ago to ask about the random open house invitation that I got. It ended up being nothing, but I was told that they are still very much reviewing applications and hope to finalize decisions in the next few weeks. I agree that not getting the interview invite is a red flag, but I didn’t receive one and was told that applications were still under review. I guess what I’m saying is that they didn’t tell me that I was rejected. I would expect that they might say “You’re not on our shortlist, so unfortunately, you were not accepted” if the interview was a definite short-list mechanism. So, maybe not getting the invite doesn’t imply rejection? Hard times! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alixxy Posted February 20, 2022 Share Posted February 20, 2022 (edited) Can anyone claim the Penn State Comp lit acceptances or rejections on the result board? Did my interview with them in late Jan (and saw a few other people posted interview invites around the same time), when they told me it would take them two weeks to make decisions but it's been a whole month and radio silence... I saw someone said they're admitting 6 out of 21 interviewed; do any of you have info on possible waitlist or if all the offers have gone out, etc? Any info would help, thanks!

Rejections from Stanford, Berkeley, Princeton, Yale, UChicago - all of which I'd have preferred, but happy w/Cornell. Have yet to hear from Columbia, but likely rejected since I didn't get an interview. Also likely rejected at Irvine. WLd at CUNY. I wouldn't be surprised if you got more acceptances Excited!

Hi there, I interviewed with them in late Jan as well and got rejected 2 days ago (an informal email from the DGS; unfortunately she had Omicron so the admission process has been slowed down). I might be wrong, but my impression is that all the acceptances and rejections have gone out at this point. If you haven't heard anything from them, then you're probably on a waitlist. It never hurts to email the DGS or the grad program coordinator to confirm. Gook luck! DavidFosterWallaby 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless you are talking to the Chair, it is unlikely, I believe, for anyone else to say that you are out of the game... People who are currently at Northeastern agree that they do interviews customarily. But who knows! I first reached out to the director of graduate studies. She answered my message that evening and said that she didn’t know anything about the open house and that applications were still in review, and that she hoped decisions would be out in the next few weeks. She then CC’d the coordinator to see if she had any info about the open house. The coordinator said that the open house was nothing but also said the same thing: applications are still in review. Could just be the DGS not wanting to release a decision early via email, but who knows! I crossed them off my list a while back when those interviews started going out, so I’d be surprised if anything happens. A lot of the people getting into CUNY seem to be getting other offers, so I’m hoping my spot on the waitlist is up soon—staying positive!

plainblacktights Posted February 20, 2022 Share Posted February 20, 2022 Hey everyone! It makes me so happy to see people getting good news!!! I am still waiting to hear back from CUNY comp lit, there were three informal acceptances on the board a week ago, so I don't think an admit is in the cards for me. However, I'm still holding out hope that I've been waitlisted. Does anyone know if they actually let you know when you've been waitlisted? I am terrified of writing and getting a big, fat rejection back ? heterotopia and Hard times! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just wanna give up all the hope and expect a rejection but my hope is sadly still strong because there is still a very minute chance for a waitlist. Also, I wanna know about University of Maryland. I saw one reject on the result board (1st Feb) and a few interviews and waitlists (first week of Feb) but no acceptances. That's super weird, isn't it? Does anyone know more about this? I emailed the department on the 10th and they said that the application process is still not complete and it would take a few weeks. I'm getting somewhat impatient. haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
