I got waitlisted at the BC English PhD program so I know for sure offers have been sent out for them. Is this the program you're waiting to hear back from?

yes, i havent heard back from them yet (or any of my schools)—im expecting a rejection, but i just want to know for sure at this point. i hope you get off the waitlist!

Thank you, and it can't hurt to reach out and confirm at this point. 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.

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!!!

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).

So, is it most likely a bad sign if I haven't gotten an interview invite from UPenn?

Hard to say. 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]

Interesting. Thanks for sharing what you know.

Hi, anyone here who's done the interview with UChicago? I finished mine on Friday--not sure how I feel about it. Did anyone get info on when we'll be hearing back? I'm expecting sleepless nights til then.

Hi - I did mine on Friday as well! I heard the committee is meeting on Monday, so I would guess they will be sending offers sometime next week. This seems to have  been the case last year as well - interviews between 25th and 28th of Jan, offers on 1st and 2nd of Feb.

Thanks so much for sharing! That sounds like we won't have to wait too long, and I really hope there are no rejections from the interview pool. Wishing good luck to us both.

Madison! Apologies, all the university abbreviations confuse the life out of me. Literary Studies, fwiw.

Looks like someone just got accepted to Alabama. Has anyone else heard from them? My app status still says "Department Review In Progress." 

[apatheticalliterations]

saw an acceptance for WUSTL Comp Lit on the results thread—can anyone claim this or share if they’ve gotten interview invites? Haven’t heard back from wustl at all:/

Radio silence here, too. I suppose no news is good news, but it sure doesn't feel like it.

Hey guys does anyone receive interview invites from yale?

[CarlosAntonio88]

Anyone still waiting to hear from University of Wisconsin-Madison (Rhet Comp)? I saw some acceptances, rejections, and waitlists posted, but I haven't heard anything. Wondering if this is good news or bad news...
