Oneshot13 Posted March 8, 2011 Share Posted March 8, 2011 (edited) Are any other rhet/comp applicants seriously fighting the urge to send an email to check the status of their application? I haven't so far because 1) I don't want to face the reality that my dream for the past two years might be crushed and 2) I know emailing about application statuses isn't exactly the best thing to do. Thoughts? Edited March 8, 2011 by Oneshot13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris83 Posted March 21, 2011 Share Posted March 21, 2011 (edited) Anyone? They've made their first round of rhet/comp offers. If you haven't yet heard, you might be wait-listed. I'd check it out with the director or with the graduate assistant. edited to add-- you can pm me if you want more details.

I emailed the secretary a few days ago and was informed that they were still reviewing applications. My email to Dr. Sullivan has gone unreturned. I'd just like to know if I'm at least rejected so I can accept it and move on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alorsjoy Posted March 30, 2011 Share Posted March 30, 2011 Has anyone heard anything regarding Purdue PhD applications (Literature)? Crickets on my end... I don't know if I should be hopeful or not! Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sausundbraus Posted March 31, 2011 Share Posted March 31, 2011 I told them I wasn't going today. I was accepted on the 19th c lit / theory track(s), so a spot should open up in one or the other. Good luck. The literature program at Purdue has so many fantastic people in it! Has anyone heard anything regarding Purdue PhD applications (Literature)? Crickets on my end...

stillthisappeal Posted March 31, 2011 Share Posted March 31, 2011 I told them I wasn't going today. I was accepted on the 19th c lit / theory track(s), so a spot should open up in one or the other. Good luck. The literature program at Purdue has so many fantastic people in it! I've also let the program know that I won't be attending. Similar fields: Victorian and modernist literature.

ComeBackZinc Posted April 9, 2011 Share Posted April 9, 2011 Well, I just got an acceptance, via email, to Rhet/Comp (my top choice) with 5 years of funding today. Judging by what's been said in here already, I guess I was pretty low priority-- but who cares! I'm in and funded!
