lyonessrampant 457 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 post Share on other sites
RosemaryJuniper 2 Posted March 30, 2011 Share Posted March 30, 2011 I second Florida. Also Fordham and Notre Dame? I just turned down Fordham (...awkward with my adviser, let me tell you). Link to post Share on other sites

My subfield is 20c American/AfAm lit. Link to post Share on other sites
lyonessrampant 457 Posted March 30, 2011 Share Posted March 30, 2011 Sportsnerd, of the 4 of us there, 3 were early modern/medieval (including me) and the other was 19th century, so it looks like the person accepted in your area didn't come, so that could be a good sign! PM me if you get in; I'm more than happy to share what I've learned. Good luck!!! Link to post Share on other sites
StormyGrad 1 Posted March 30, 2011 Share Posted March 30, 2011 ... Anyone? ... I have yet to hear from two of these programs and am waitlisted at one. The wait is torture and I would really like a trip to Atlantic City until this blows over. Of course, an acceptance this week would be just as awesome. If anybody officially declined one of these schools, please share. Hello! Is anyone declining Kent State, Old Dominion, Loyola or UNLV? Link to post Share on other sites
Olive 3 Posted March 31, 2011 Share Posted March 31, 2011 I'm declining Auburn and FSU. Both are funded PhD offers. Link to post Share on other sites
theboyfriend 0 Posted March 31, 2011 Share Posted March 31, 2011 lyon, At the weekend, were there any victorianists/19th brit lit? How was visiting Minny?

I am likely to decline in any event. I'll post when I do. Link to post Share on other sites
digitality 5 Posted March 31, 2011 Share Posted March 31, 2011 I just turned down a funded offer from U Minnesota's RSTC program. I'll be turning down an unfunded offer for NCSU's CRDM soon. Link to post Share on other sites

wreckofthehope 74 Posted March 31, 2011 Share Posted March 31, 2011 Anyone thinking of declining Rutgers Comp Lit? Also - I've pretty much lost hope for UBC now, but if anyone has a last minute change of heart I'd be delighted Link to post Share on other sites

Edelweiss 1 Posted March 31, 2011 Share Posted March 31, 2011 I'm going to accept an offer at Florida. I'll be declining a funded offer at UMASS and an un-funded offer at Michigan State.

augustquail 13 Posted April 1, 2011 Share Posted April 1, 2011 I see from the results page that five Vanderbilt "secret waitlisters" (it sounds so much cooler than it is...) have been rejected. Is there anyone else (like me) who is on this list but hasn't heard anything? Also, have any Maryland waitlisters heard anything? Link to post Share on other sites

tortola23 18 Posted April 1, 2011 Share Posted April 1, 2011 Still waiting to hear from both UF and UT. They're both supposed to notify wait-listers this coming week (first week of April). Link to post Share on other sites
