sportsnerd 1 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lyonessrampant 455 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? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RosemaryJuniper 2 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). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

lyonessrampant 455 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!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
StormyGrad 1 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? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

theboyfriend 0 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
digitality 5 Posted March 31, 2011 I just turned down a funded offer from U Minnesota's RSTC program, and I just accepted an offer for Clemson's RCID program. I'll be turning down an unfunded offer for NCSU's CRDM soon. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Edelweiss 1 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. I'll also be bowing out of my spot on the waitlist at Southern Methodist. Best of luck to those who are still waiting. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

augustquail 13 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? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
