lyonessrampant Posted February 22, 2011 Posted February 22, 2011 So I'm getting totally tired of waiting and emailed to ask what the time frame would be. Here's the response: "The committee is making its final-round decisions for PhD applications next week, and letters will go out shortly thereafter." Best of luck to all of us waiting!

Hi how did you know you are rejected by UChicago? I have heard nothing from them. Thank ya
lyonessrampant Posted February 22, 2011 Author Posted February 22, 2011 I did my MA there, so I asked one of my rec writers what was up and he said they got over 600 apps for a 10-person cohort and if I hadn't heard, I hadn't gotten in. UC forwards lots of Ph.D. apps to their MA for review, so you might get an MA invite. They'll send out paper letters at the end of the first week of March.

I have already received my MA,so they won't forward me. Oregon has incessant rain! I have been accepted into their comparative lit program Will visit their campus March. Thank you! Good luck! BTW,Minnesota is a great school! Congratulations.
lyonessrampant Posted February 23, 2011 Author Posted February 23, 2011 Thanks Given silence from UTA. . .I'm probably going to go to Minnesota so whoo! (unless UW shows me some love). Anyway, good luck to you as well! Eugene is a sweet town in spite of the rain
crae Posted February 23, 2011 Posted February 23, 2011 Thanks for the info, Lyoness! I, too, am tired of waiting, so this is good to know.

Thanks for asking them. I remember on the application they asked for contact information of teaching references. I wonder if they will contact them before making decisions.
tweed Posted February 23, 2011 Posted February 23, 2011 Any word on the time frame for Masters applications?
crae Posted February 25, 2011 Posted February 25, 2011 I'm out! I checked the website after I saw someone's result in the postings. Good luck to everyone else! :-)
lyonessrampant Posted February 25, 2011 Author Posted February 25, 2011 Good luck elsewhere Crae. I'm surprised they did decisions this week after what the grad secretary told me.
lyonessrampant Posted February 28, 2011 Author Posted February 28, 2011 Yo! Who is still waiting to hear from UO? An earlier post said the ad com was making final decisions Friday, ssssoooo shouldn't we all know by now?
LongGone Posted February 28, 2011 Posted February 28, 2011 I'm waiting to hear from UO - I applied to MA program. Is anyone waiting for the MA desicisons too? :>
wanderlust07 Posted February 28, 2011 Posted February 28, 2011 I'm sitting a couple floors above the department and haven't heard anything. They said this week--it might take a day or two to get letters written up and out. I wouldn't worry yet. Of course, I could also be doomed to final quarter of shame...
lyonessrampant Posted February 28, 2011 Author Posted February 28, 2011 Kewl. Thanks for sharing wanderlust. Good luck to you and everyone still waiting!
Waiting patiently... Posted March 1, 2011 Posted March 1, 2011 I emailed Mike Stamm today to ask about application status and he said that they were making final decisions today (1 March). No word on numbers of admits, class size, etc. I assume we should all hear pretty soon. When I applied to the MA program a couple years ago, they sent out acceptances by email. Good luck to all!
bck203 Posted March 1, 2011 Posted March 1, 2011 Thanks, I've been wondering about this too (MA applicant). Just FYI, I emailed with current students before I applied and they told me there is NO departmental funding for first-year MA students--at least, there wasn't last year--though 2nd year funding (12k last year) is pretty much guaranteed through teaching freshman comp. I guess I just applied hoping that I might magically get some funding, though, because their faculty looks really great for my interests.
lyonessrampant Posted March 2, 2011 Author Posted March 2, 2011 So, just emailed Mike again to ask if people who were accepted or waitlisted would be notified by website as well (my website status hasn't changed). He told me that admissions decision were made yesterday and people who were chosen will be hearing by email by the end of the week and then official letters via USPS shortly thereafter. Good luck!
LongGone Posted March 2, 2011 Posted March 2, 2011 I saw that there are some PHD notifications. Has anyone with MA apllication been notified? Please let me know if you did. So, just emailed Mike again to ask if people who were accepted or waitlisted would be notified by website as well (my website status hasn't changed).

Jordan1217 Posted March 3, 2011 Posted March 3, 2011 Anybody else see this on the status page? Department Recommendation: Admitted, Conditional Doctoral, English. Graduate School Action: Pending I'm not quite sure what to make of it.
lyonessrampant Posted March 3, 2011 Author Posted March 3, 2011 Yep, mine says that too. It means you're accepted and will get official notice by mail soon. The dept is still figuring out funding details and will email all accepted people with that info by the end of the week.

wanderlust07 Posted March 5, 2011 Posted March 5, 2011 Congrats! Congrats to those admitted! Did any of you actually get the email? Those of us applying from within the program had to apply hardcopy and so can't check status online. NOT happy.
lyonessrampant Posted March 5, 2011 Author Posted March 5, 2011 Nope, no email yet, but Mike told me via email in response to a question I sent him, so I bet he'd tell you since you can't check online.
