I'm now officially committed to Minnesota! I'm happy with this outcome: there are some amazing faculty in my area, the teaching load is perfect, and their program seems to be going in good directions in the face of the near-nonexistent job market.

I can't believe I'm finished with the months of waiting. Good luck to those of you still in suspense for the next handful of days, and the best of luck to those who will be going through this hell again next round. Thank you all for your camaraderie!! ... including the ghosts of threads from years past, which I heavily relied on for insight and moral support!

April 15th! Big day, crossing fingers as someone on the waitlist

Finally got a response from University of Arizona. They said the initial wave has been sent but decisions will continue to be made through June. So anyone waiting on them, if you haven't heard there's still a long wait to go.

i was on the waitlist for a phd and they emailed me the night of april 13 saying it was likely that they will let in one person waitlisted and asked me if i would accept if i was offered. i said i would likely accept. today they emailed me and said that i am rejected. i feel like their email on the 13 was cruel, am i being crazy

You're not crazy, that's cruel. They can't know if you turned down or didn't answer another program because of what they said.

thanks for saying that. it’s just been a rough season, i got rejected from everywhere and waitlisted there (emory).

 

i emailed them twice (right after i got the news and a month later to follow up) to say how excited was about the possibility of going there. but i let it go and understood it may not work out.

 

when they emailed me a couple days ago asking me if i’d accept an offer i was over the moon, i thought there would be no way they’d ask me that unless they were almost 100% sure. 

 

i’m just so crushed 😕 i feel like how they handled it was really mean. it’s like why ask me if i would go? why not just wait till the deadline to let me know? even if i were to have gotten in and rejected the offer, they could have just asked the next person! like wtf. they only had 3 spots and interviewed 16 people !

I completely agree: I would have thought the same. Your feelings are entirely valid, and I’m so sorry they put you through this pain.

I’m so sorry they did this to you!! This is cruel and unprofessional in my opinion, hope next season is kinder to you ❤️ I’m applying to adjunct in my area as I’m also preparing for my one waitlist to turn me down so right there with you
