Texas A&M

[byronlover]

I got a Facebook message (yes, I found out about my acceptance through Facebook!) congratulating me on my acceptance to Texas A&M from a friend who is currently a graduate student there. I hadn't heard anything from them, so I wrote my friend back asking for details. She said she'd seen the DGS a few minutes before and that the DGS asked her if she knew me, since we'd completed our MAs at the same institution. I called the graduate office, and the person to whom I spoke said that letters conveying decisions to all applicants would be sent Thursday or Friday via snail mail.

Good luck to everyone!

Does this apply for both PhD and Masters applicants?

That I don't know. Sorry Kurt.

No. Masters applications are processed after PhD applications here.

Hi Ya'll! I guess I'd better start saying "ya'll" now because it looks like I got in!!! I am soooooo relieved. I applied to 10 programs, English with creative emphasis, and was freaking out that I wouldn't get into any of them. To have my first result be an acceptance is beyond belief. Thanks to everybody on the forums--your commiserating has kept me (relatively) sane. Anyways, it was just a basic "congratulations!" email, no specifics about funding or TAships--I'm assuming that stuff is on the way via snail mail. But I'm so, so happy, and I hope it happens for you guys. Never give up. I almost did. I was already looking for a job!

Hey, I saw on the results board someone else got in to the English dept. Drop me a message!
