MyshkinLit Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 Hi! I just found out I was accepted into Austin's Comp Lit program. But they haven't sent me any details on funding. Does anyone have any idea when they send that? What do you know about the program? I'm choosing between there and WashU. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
antecedent Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 Hahaha oh man you just gave me a heart attack. I had to double check that Comp Lit and English were different departments. Also, congratulations! Sorry I don't have anything useful to say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I may have been checking my UT account multiple times every day for the past month. Okay, that's a lie. Multiple times every day since DECEMBER.

antecedent Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 I know! When I saw yours I wanted to yell "Jinx!" and "aaaaugh you understand!" at the same time. Their radio silence has been unnerving. Sorry to be off topic in your thread, MyshkinLit! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HaruNoKaze Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 I gasped when I saw this thread! I applied to for Rhet and haven't heard anything. Still says in review. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ryzhaya Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 Oh, well I'm soooooo glad all you English folks are feeling relieved! Meanwhile, us Comparatistas get to officially begin freaking out . . . plus, from the name, it sounds like the OP is also a Russian lit type . . . eeep! Anyway, I don't have much info to offer, other than that I've heard good general things about the program, Austin is a great city, and - if you are indeed going for Russian literature - their Slavic department seems strong. Congratulations! Starlajane 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rupert Pupkin Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 I imagine all the acceptances went out at once. Hope I'm wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ophelia9 Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 Just got my acceptance for the English Ph.D. by email! So happy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HaruNoKaze Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 Any accepted want to share their specialization? I applied to Rhet and wondering if any Rhet acceptances have gone out. And a super huge congrats to those that got in!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HunkyDory Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 I imagine all the acceptances went out at once. Hope I'm wrong. My status changed on the website, check that too? Haru -- I'm contemporary and digital poetics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
antecedent Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 Yeah I'd be curious to know if any of the acceptances have been for English Language/Linguistics. Eeep! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ComeBackZinc Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 Yeah I'd be curious to know if any of the acceptances have been for English Language/Linguistics. Eeep! What's your area of interest, antecedant? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
impending Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 Any accepted want to share their specialization? I applied to Rhet and wondering if any Rhet acceptances have gone out. I'm rhetoric too and haven't heard anything/my website status still says in review. Fingers crossed rhetoric decisions haven't gone out yet... Congrats to those with good news!

antecedent Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 What's your area of interest, antecedant? Historical sociolinguistics in a broad sense - more specifically historical shifts in attitude about the English language and their evolution into contemporary prejudices about grammar and language usage. I'm also interested in English Syntax as a more general topic, as well as discourse analysis and language issues facing marginalized communities. I come from a literature background though. That's how I ended up applying to English Language/Linguistics programs in various English programs. The Edinburgh program I was accepted into is the only program that is in the Linguistics department. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bdon19 Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 (edited) I just got accepted!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! FLIPPING OUT! Austin was one of my top choices!!!!!!!!! P.S. My area is plain ol' English lit. Studying the 18th-century, most specifically the novel.

HaruNoKaze Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 Things I'm telling myself: Rhetoric is full of slow people. The email will come. Your last name starts with 'S' so you're always going to be at the end of the line, if they go alphabetically. Deal with it and wait. Anxiously.

antecedent Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 Things I'm telling myself: No one but me is interested in this specialization, they've got to accept me yet! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
impending Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 Also trying to keep positive and avoid pulling my hair out in anxiety. If it helps, I know at ASU the acceptances for rhet/comp went out a full week earlier than those for linguistics, and rhet/comp/linguistics is considered a single specialization here. There's hope for us yet! antecedent 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
impending Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 Another accept just posted--could you share your specialization? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marlowe Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 Just got the email from the DGS! I am so excited; Texas was my top choice. Now I have some big decisions to make. I really didn't expect to be in this position. Good luck to you all still waiting to hear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
