SPANGRAD22 Posted February 8, 2022 Share Posted February 8, 2022 I received a kind email from Cornell chair. I didn't get it. It was a tough year financially. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caromella Posted February 8, 2022 Author Share Posted February 8, 2022 Still haven’t heard anything. Probably a bad sign, I should probably start mentally preparing myself for the worst case scenario. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caromella Posted February 8, 2022 Author Share Posted February 8, 2022 Follow up- I emailed my POI and she basically said if I wasn't interviewed then I was not going to get in. It was a kind email where she told me that I had really strong materials but they just didn't have a lot of funding this year. This rejection stings a little since I thought I had a really strong application, but oh well. Life goes on and I am still very excited for my UNC acceptance.

MillerS Posted February 9, 2022 Share Posted February 9, 2022 Has anyone heard from BU, University of Houston or UMass Amherst? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caromella Posted February 9, 2022 Author Share Posted February 9, 2022 @MillerS haven’t heard from BU, but according to DGS they should get back by the end of this week…we’ll see if that is actually the case lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MillerS Posted February 9, 2022 Share Posted February 9, 2022 @caromella So they probably won't do an interview, will they? ? It's one of the results I'm most looking forward to... However, I know there's so hard! Good luck to everyone! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caromella Posted February 9, 2022 Author Share Posted February 9, 2022 I hope they aren't interviewing, bc I definitely did not interview...good luck to you as well @MillerS. This has been a rough semester to apply it seems Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vallejeando Posted February 10, 2022 Share Posted February 10, 2022 Hello to all! I wanted to ask for those of you who interviewed at Princeton how your experience was/if you have received any communication from the department afterward. Congratulations to all of you with acceptances from your programs—it seems it is a difficult year. Best of luck to all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GRADSPN1 Posted February 10, 2022 Share Posted February 10, 2022 (edited) Hi @vallejeandohow are you? In my experience everything went well. It was a nice talk and I was able to say everything I wanted about my interests and the program. I don't have high expectations because apparently we were 15 persons interviewed and there are only 4 places. However, after the business day was over, my POI wrote to tell me that we had many interests and problems in common and that the interview went well. How was your experience?

smgr Posted February 10, 2022 Share Posted February 10, 2022 ¡Hola a todos! Just checking in to see the news and I agree - this seems to be a very difficult year. Still, felicitaciones a quienes ya tienen respuestas positivas!!!!! In my case, I haven't heard back from any of the programs so my rejections will probably arrive soon. You'll see me on the 2023 topic as I'm already getting ready for a new admission season - trying to stay positive! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vallejeando Posted February 10, 2022 Share Posted February 10, 2022 Hi @GRADSPN1! To be honest I don’t think my interview went well haha. It felt more like I was defending a thesis than a casual chat ? I guess we’ll see what happens, but I also have low expectations. My best wishes to you on getting in! @smgr stay positive! It’s a difficult year, but sometimes programs are slow to respond. I’m still waiting on two that haven’t said anything. smgr 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MillerS Posted February 10, 2022 Share Posted February 10, 2022 No sé si alguien aplicó para University of Houston, pero confirmé la información con el departamento: el resultado del PhD program in Spanish sale a fines de febrero. UMass Amherst creo que será uno de los últimos. Según la información del sitio web, de 6 a 10 semanas después de la deadline (que era el 1 de febrero). Es decir, hasta alrededor del 9 de abril, en el máximo. UTDallas sigue siendo un misterio. Mi status aún se apresenta 'Application complete', cuando en la verdade creo que debería estar 'Under Comittee Review'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vallejeando Posted February 10, 2022 Share Posted February 10, 2022 Sorry to pop in again! Has anyone heard from UCLA for the literature track or been contacted for an interview yet? I was thinking about emailing the department, but I'm not sure what their process looks like. Anyone have any news? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hola, yo apliqué para el de Creative Writing en español, ¿es ese del que hablas? Es mi opción número uno. Btw, have anyone heard something from Tulane? I was rejected by Cornell earlier this week, very sad but still waiting on Houston and Tulane. Good luck to everyone! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MillerS Posted February 10, 2022 Share Posted February 10, 2022 (edited) @AnheléNo, en verdade hablo del programa de Spanish with a concentration in Literature or Linguistics. No les pregunté sobre Escritura Creativa. Pero creo que no hay problema en contatar con el programa, caso tengas un potencial advisor con quien pueda hablar. ¡Buena suerte!

Ecriture feminine Posted February 11, 2022 Share Posted February 11, 2022 (edited) Hello everyone! Sorry for asking again but I'm getting pretty anxious. Has anyone already have a response from Tulane? They said, on the generic mail, the decisions are posted about 4 weeks after de application deadline, it was on January 10. Thanks for your help!

GRADSPN1 Posted February 11, 2022 Share Posted February 11, 2022 Hi @Anhelé. I don't know if this comment will help because I don't know if this is what you mean, but together with another member of this group we were interviewed about two weeks ago. Is that what you mean? Or do you want to know when they will give the answer to the interview? I hope to help in something Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MillerS Posted February 11, 2022 Share Posted February 11, 2022 Where is Boston's results? I was thinking that they were going to send the results today. Waiting is hard... ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caromella Posted February 12, 2022 Author Share Posted February 12, 2022 @MillerS I know right...I feel the same way about Boston, the wait is torturous! I emailed them 13 days ago and they told me "within the next 2 weeks" was when they expected to give results. NYU told me they were aiming for last Friday and I still haven't heard anything from them either. I am assuming that things came up that delayed the decisions, especially with that giant snowstorm in the northeast a few weeks ago :') Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lolahola Posted February 12, 2022 Share Posted February 12, 2022 @caromella I sincerely hope that's why we haven't heard anything from NYU! I kind of figured that if I didn't hear anything it's because they passed over me for the interview round. I'd love to hear from anyone that has a little more info if they have it! @vallejeando My experience interviewing them was good! I had met one of the professors very briefly before because he guest lectured in one of my undergrad classes, so I felt a teeny bit more comfortable as a result. I don't have a strong rapport with any one POI though, and haven't heard anything since the interview. Best of luck to you, I'm sure you did better than you think! It's normal that the interviews take on that interrogative tone I think caromella 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lolahola Posted February 12, 2022 Share Posted February 12, 2022 Also I received a rejection from Harvard last night, which is unsurprising given I did the worst thing ever (named a different school in my SOP). Just sharing in case anyone is wondering about news from that department. I got into UC Irvine also! Very excited to have one great PhD option. Not super sure how the school ranks compared to others, does anyone have any info about UC Irvine's reputation? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
