Tybalt Posted March 24, 2011 Share Posted March 24, 2011 I am visiting a school soon, and if all goes well, as I assume it will, I will be declining Albany's offer. That's more for my office mate than me. Albany is his top choice, and he's wait-listed (similar sub-field to yours, as well). You're going to love UBuffalo. I visit the area all the time (I'm doing my MA at St. Bonaventure at the moment). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're going to love UBuffalo. I visit the area all the time (I'm doing my MA at St. Bonaventure at the moment). Yes, I think he and I have talked actually. I am very excited for UBuffalo. It was one of my top choice programs. Good luck with your wait lists, I am hoping you hear good news soon! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John_Duble_E Posted March 24, 2011 Share Posted March 24, 2011 Declined CUNY (English), Pittsburgh(English), and UMassAmherst (Af Am Studies) Does this mean that you're trying to decide between Vandy, Temple and Tufts, ZeeMore21? Or have you made a decision? Best of luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

runonsentence Posted March 24, 2011 Share Posted March 24, 2011 Is anyone planning on turning down a funded offer to UW-Milwaukee? I'm holding two offers right now: Cincy and Milwaukee. I'll be making a decision between them by the 1st. Both are rhet/comp spots though, so I'm not sure if this helps you or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tybalt Posted March 25, 2011 Share Posted March 25, 2011 Hello! Is anyone declining Kent State, Old Dominion, Loyola or UNLV? I don't think UNLV has notified anyone yet. I know it's getting close to the deadline, but they've got some serious financial things to figure out in Nevada. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tybalt Posted March 25, 2011 Share Posted March 25, 2011 On 3/23/2011 at 5:57 PM, inafuturelife said: nope, no news from maryland yet. they're on spring break and a lot of visit weekends are this weekend or last weekend, so hopefully we'll have an update soonish. I think my odds just shrank. The Renaissance admit told me at the welcome weekend that he was going to accept, and I just received word that the third Renaissance admit (the one who wasn't at the weekend) is accepting as well. This whole wait-list thing is more stressful than I thought it would be (I don't expect to hear from Rochester until after their visit weekend in April, and Florida's wait list seems lengthy).

wild_rose Posted March 27, 2011 Share Posted March 27, 2011 This morning I declined an unfunded offer from UN-Reno (MA: Literature and the Environment.) Not sure if this helps anyone, but I thought I'd post it anyway! Tybalt 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sportsnerd Posted March 30, 2011 Share Posted March 30, 2011 Any updates on the Minnesota front? I know they just had their visiting weekend, so people must be making some decisions - either for or against! I'm on their waiting list, and it's definitely my top choice...soooo I. AM. DYING.

lyonessrampant Posted March 30, 2011 Share Posted March 30, 2011 Hey, sportsnerd! This really isn't good news for you, but I'm pretty certain I'll be accepting a spot at Minnesota in the next day or two. However, there were only four Ph.D. people at the visit, and I think they admitted 8 or 9, so maybe some of those people who weren't there will be declining? I don't know about the other three Ph.D. people who were at the weekend. Best of luck! What's your subfield? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
