Saw some people get phone calls on the weekend and one person get an email this week? But no portal updates I applied last year and got my rejection about a week after the first wave, so it wouldn’t surprise me if they are. Good luck!

thea Posted February 8 Share Posted February 8 What's the consensus around sending letters of continued interest to programs we're waitlisted at? There is already a place in the application portal for me to indicate that I'd like to remain on the waitlist. Is it generally recommended to follow up with a letter, or is that overkill? I don't really have any updates for the program, and I'm still waiting to hear back from quite a few other programs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guavaloslos Posted February 8 Share Posted February 8 anybody else get an email from ucla english dept. telling you to save dates in March for prospective grad student welcome but they can't "confirm decisions just yet"? Doesn't seem like a mass email. Is this a subtle hint? Why play games like this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluemojav Posted February 9 Share Posted February 9 Saw some Boston U rejections go out, but radio silence on my end w/ no update on the website…hoping that means something good since it looks like WLs and acdeptances came out after rejections last year (w me being rejected among them lol)…. Also, I was told by a professor that after around a month after you are waitlisted, a letter of continued interest is appropriate! I’m not sure what the consensus is for it. leguinian22 and thea 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was waitlisted mid-January, so I think I'll send a follow-up email by end of next week. gagne and bluemojav 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I sent an email of continued interest + an updated CV to the Director of Graduate Studies immediately after being waitlisted at my top choice. She forwarded it to the Director of Admissions for the program. I also contacted the POIs I had previously spoken with to let them know. But the waitlist letter I had said "feel free" to contact your program. Fingers crossed! leguinian22 and bluemojav 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'll have much better intel than I did, I'm sure! I graduated from UGA six years ago, and I squeezed an English major into my last year (after I realized that I really really didn't want to be a number cruncher my whole life). 7 hours ago, sheherazade11 said: Thank you!

leguinian22 Posted February 12 Share Posted February 12 (edited) I just got my third waitlist decision this morning: I don't even know what to think anymore. I guess my application screams "great, but not great enough"! At least I'm slowly growing a bit of hope, as the probability of getting at least one acceptance increases bit by bit.

In particular, I feel like I screwed myself by being too honest in the alternative (but required, where I submitted it) statement of personal history. Of course, there are many factors involved, but maybe just maybe I am able to salvage this cycle and get one more acceptance so I have options.

Seiran029 Posted February 12 Share Posted February 12 Hi, Anybody heard back from McGill, Alberta, Toronto, and UBC English PhD programs? I know Canadian unis had way later deadline, and probably the results will be slightly later than US ones, but the anxiety is killing me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

©har1ie Posted February 14 Share Posted February 14 I was one of the Notre Dame admits from yesterday. I'm ecstatic, not just because it's my first acceptance. I really enjoyed visiting the campus during their recruitment event, I love the fit for me. It's nice to have something concrete. sheherazade11, leguinian22, wrappedupinclouds and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a huge acceptance, especially since you already know it's a great fit from the visit. I got my first acceptance, to Utah (hey @sheherazade11, once again!), and it Is a huge relief. I'll still be waiting anxiously for the waitlist results and news from other schools, but I'll definitely be going somewhere in the fall!!! ©har1ie, sheherazade11 and wrappedupinclouds 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
