jtractatus Posted April 9, 2011 Share Posted April 9, 2011 I hope it does, but I'm starting to lose hope on Maryland. I e-mailed Dr. Ray for an update on Tuesday, and have not yet heard back. She's been really good about returning previous e-mails (ie- within 6 or 7 hours). Plus, if you were offered the last spot, I think that means they've met their quota for early modernists (you're in post-modern lit, right?). Fingers still crossed and gut still clenched, but hope sadly dwindling. Yeah, you're right. I'm more just pretty much anything after 1950 plus a bunch of weird psychological/ disability studies things. But perhaps that doesn't mean anything. I'll pray for you! She--I feel bad I kept referring to her as a "he" (I'm an idiot)--was working from home today, so perhaps she didn't have time to reconvene with the adcomm to determine who would come next. I really don't know, but wish everyone the best. I hope we all just get in somewhere and never have to develop hypertension through this agonizing process again.

lyonessrampant Posted April 9, 2011 Share Posted April 9, 2011 Hey Tybalt! Don't give up hope! I think an early modern spot may yet open up at Maryland. I think one of the early modernists is leaning another direction. Best of luck!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tybalt Posted April 12, 2011 Share Posted April 12, 2011 Hey Tybalt! Don't give up hope! I think an early modern spot may yet open up at Maryland. I think one of the early modernists is leaning another direction. Best of luck!!! Hope is not totally gone, but it is dwindling. I still haven't heard anything (and I e-mailed Dr. Ray a week ago). That, plus the fact that she offered "the last spot" to a modernist has me a little more than worried. The fact that we're down to the last week and I have yet to hear from any of my three waitlists has me a bit freaked out (and on top of THAT stress, I defend my MA thesis on Thursday). This week is going to kill me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lyonessrampant Posted April 12, 2011 Share Posted April 12, 2011 Oh goodness! So much stress. Best of luck and I hope you get good news soon!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tybalt Posted April 13, 2011 Share Posted April 13, 2011 Anyone else still waiting on Maryland can stop waiting. I got a response from Dr. Ray--their roster is full. She's sending out the e-mail to the rest of the wait list tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hopefulwoolfian Posted April 18, 2011 Share Posted April 18, 2011 Any modernists who might still be waiting on UMD- I got offered a surprise MA/PhD funded spot today (considering they told me I only got the unfunded MA, it was quite the shock), but I'm already committed to Tufts, so I'll be turning it down tomorrow. I hope it goes to a GCer! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
