Like if I haven't heard back by now should i give up all hope? I got my offer letter this morning, and in it it mentions a waitlist, so it’s possible that you’re on it! Best of luck!

Best of luck to you too! This is my mentor’s alma mater and they have an excellent 19c program so I’m excited. Not sure if we’re in the same field but I hope there is movement for you!!

I'm 20-21c, so a bit of a different ball game - but it's great to see that both of our work is supported by faculty there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JaneLWH Posted February 9, 2023 Share Posted February 9, 2023 To those who saw their rejection update on their UCLA portal; my portal hasn't updated or I'm blind lol. Would it mean a possible waitlist or am I missing something? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stressed_applicant Posted February 9, 2023 Share Posted February 9, 2023 Got an offer letter from IU this morning- I'm so relieved! Still waiting to hear back from 6 more schools now, but happy to have something secured. I think this last week was the most stressful week I've had since undergrad applications.

DarianAcademia Posted February 10, 2023 Share Posted February 10, 2023 Well I think it's time that I face that I may not get into any grad schools this round. I got the official rejection from Cornell yesterday and have heard nothing from Indiana university which means its probably a no go. I also never got an interview invite from Pennsylvania so that's also a no go. Still waiting to hear from Tennessee, Texas and Nebraska but I don't have much hope Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know someone whose proposed area is children's literature got waitlisted. But I (also children's literature) heard nothing from UConn. I really don't know hahaha I guess it will be rejection for me? But there are only two results posted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cat_rook2 Posted February 14, 2023 Share Posted February 14, 2023 Hi all, I just wanted to chime in as I know we are in the middle of the application season. A brief story: I applied two previous application cycles (non consecutively) and was shut out both times. Completely shut out. At first, I felt discouraged and not sure of what the next steps would look like. But I continued to focus my research interests, attend conferences, and work on the written materials of my application. I also thought more critically about what programs would be the right fit for me. This time around, my third time applying, I have several acceptances and offers. I felt inclined to share this to let you know that you are doing great, no matter what the outcome happens to be. Try not to be discouraged. Given that it has taken me three tries to get accepted, anything can happen!

Shuyaaaa Posted February 14, 2023 Share Posted February 14, 2023 Hi! I just want to share my happiness with you all! I am finally admitted somewhere (not top top ranked, but they have good reputation for child lit)! The perfect Valentine's present! I am very worried about the results because this year is my first cycle and I only apply to 4 phd programs. Also, I am not a native speaker, I have never studied in the US and my undergrad major is not english either. I just feel I am LESS compared to others. But today I received acceptance with tuition waiver, GTA and a merit fellowship award. They say I'm the top 2 phd admit to receive this award! I feel so happy that they like me and they value me! I wish you all good luck!!! I hope you will find my story encouraging and inspiring! johnokeefe, The Penguin and Podiatrist, conswrtng and 5 others 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
