Might you know if the interviews are not for all shortlisted applicants and/or whether there's still a chance even if one doesn't get a interview request? Congratulations and good luck to any anonymous posters who did get that invite! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
antifragile Posted January 24, 2023 Share Posted January 24, 2023 Hey all, I haven't heard back from any program yet. Shall I brace myself up for rejects? Has anyone heard back from UHM or Univ of Oregon? Seems like the general process is really slow this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
conswrtng Posted January 24, 2023 Share Posted January 24, 2023 Hey everyone, Seeing people posting here really helps calm down my nerves -- I can see I'm not the only one checking my inbox every hour and freaking out bc there are no news. I see most of you guys applied to Lit programs. I applied to 2 Rhet/comp PhDs, UoArizona RCTE and Miami (OH). (I also applied to 2 other programs, but for Applied Linguistics.) I am waiting to hear back from Arizona mid-February, but Miami's admission timeline is unpredictable based on previous results. Do you think is ok for us to contact GS Directors or assistants and ask about their timelines? Hope all of you guys hear great news soon, and please keep posting here so we can help each other during this anxiety season. ??

zanthia122 Posted January 24, 2023 Share Posted January 24, 2023 I don’t know if it’s a good idea to email and ask for the timeline… either way you’re going to hear back. It’s extremely hard but I’d try to be patient. I feel this year’s results have been late across the board. I heard back from BC and OSU but they’re both later than the previous years.  (actually no, BC is right on track. I just checked) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crazysouthie Posted January 24, 2023 Share Posted January 24, 2023 If any other anxious folks want to feel better. I've spent the last week checking Grad Cafe every day. My anxiety is so high I need to keep peeing every ten minutes. I've seen my top choices send out interview invites already. Trying to figure out how not to wither away completely during this cycle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scratchedrecord Posted January 24, 2023 Share Posted January 24, 2023 Did anybody else get that email chain from Berkeley? First nearly giving me a heart attack with the header "You are important to Berkeley. Then the email preview saying to pay my application fee (which I've already done!). Then the email itself being basically nothing more than spam. Then FINALLY a second email apologizing for the first one - but only for the error saying to pay the application fee! firwidgeon 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zanthia122 Posted January 25, 2023 Share Posted January 25, 2023 So I just realized I didn't actually apply to Duke's literature program. That one sent out interviews and admissions and rejects today. I applied to the English program... ? Why do they need two, I have no idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fulldarknostars Posted January 25, 2023 Share Posted January 25, 2023 (edited) Re: Princeton--a few more interview reports have popped up. from my conversations with a previous alum, interviews are not necessarily a prerequisite for admission (this person did not have one but was admitted over 5 years ago), they're often used to compare 2 similar applicants and structure a wait list. that being said, I still wish I would have gotten a request, but still not totally scratching it off just yet. Â Also worth noting that last cycle some folks heard from them later in Feb Edited January 25, 2023 by fulldarknostars beaumont_and_fletch and nat35 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beaumont_and_fletch Posted January 26, 2023 Share Posted January 26, 2023 Does anyone have any tea on the UPenn interview process? It was my top choice and I was very disheartened to see interviews go out on the results board (and...like...not get an invite). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crazysouthie Posted January 27, 2023 Share Posted January 27, 2023 I see there's someone admitted to the English Language and Education program at Michigan. Does this mean the other PhD offers have gone out too? :(( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From the email I got, it sounds like they're made the decisions that needed to be made, so you should have heard back already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shuyaaaa Posted January 28, 2023 Share Posted January 28, 2023 I was away to celebrate Chinese New Year with my friends, and now oh whoo Feb is coming and I can feel my anxiety level is rising again. All the programs (UF, UConn, Texas A&M, Illinois State) I applied to do not hold interviews, and I have been waiting ever since I submitted my app in Dec. Such a torture. Congratulations to all the offer holders!!! Finger-crossed for myself and everyone else!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bootscootinboogie17 Posted January 29, 2023 Share Posted January 29, 2023 Hey team -- first comment on GradCafe, though I've been lurking for a few weeks now. I interviewed w. UPenn yesterday and they told me I wouldn't hear back for...wait for it...a month or so. It seemed like they're very much still figuring things out so I wouldn't count yourselves out just yet! So far I have 0 acceptances, 1 waitlist (UW-M)m, 1 rejection (Duke). fulldarknostars and Mona62 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mona62 Posted January 29, 2023 Share Posted January 29, 2023 So, is it most likely a bad sign if I haven't gotten an interview invite from UPenn? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since the timeline they told me about is so drawn out, I feel like there's still a chance for another round of interviews. But I only had 15 min w. them so I don't have a ton of info! Mona62 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
