Ategenos Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 Ugh I totally understand how you're feeling. After going 3/3 to start, I'm apparently 0/3 in the last 3 (rejection Davis; implicit rejection from Rutgers and Maryland). Some schools think I'm awesome and others not so much. Weird feeling. Better that than 0/5. Apparently, no schools think I'm awesome... and I at least thought there was a smidgeon of awesome hidden somewhere. ;P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mono411 Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 Got a call on Saturday morning from one of my POIs. So shocked! I had 23rd percentile on the subject test, 69th percentile on verbal, but I got 6/6 on the writing. I guess they didnt care since they really liked my writing sample and what i was doing for my thesis. This is my top choice, so I'm super excited! I'm an early americanist.

rainy_day Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 Okay, between Columbia and now a Rutgers wait list tonight, I might need to stay away from grad cafe for a few weeks for my mental health. This resolution will last an hour, tops. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TripWillis Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 WOW! I just got waitlisted! The week of pain and suffering just got much better! It said my name is "close to the top." I do wonder if a lot of people hear that... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do wonder if a lot of people hear that... I've still heard nothing. And my status on the website (which I've checked roughly 3 million times) still says "no decision." Hmph.

I hope you come to the day-- it would blow my mind to meet real GC royalty! hanover -- when is the day? I do want to go.

Bayo Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 Congrats!! But what are these programs trying to do to us?! Phone calls on Sundays, emails after 11:00 PM (I'm assuming that's the case here) - are no hours of the day safe? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hanoverkontent Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 (edited) Bdon, I also have my fingers crossed for you! The visit day is Tuesday March 20! The funding is damn good. Edited February 21, 2012 by hanoverkontent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DorindaAfterThyrsis Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 Yay, Trip! Your positivity is paying off big time! I pat you on the back with my left hand, and shoot myself in the face with my right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
girlmostlikely Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 Congrats, TripWillis! My work is very vaguely queer theory-ish, if I decline, please take my place, Rutgers has enough Victorianists. Funding is very generous for what I imagine to be the standard of living for New Brunswick--about 26K for first year (plus a 5K summer stipend to be taken first or second years), and the 25K+ for following years with teaching fellowship.

TripWillis Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 *goes to sob in a corner, rejectedly+* (+still only implicitly, at this point) At least you have Duke to keep you warm. Jealous. Did you ever hear about funding from CUNY? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hedgerows Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 I still haven't heard anything else from CUNY, which means I probably won't get much (?). I wish I'd printed out the acceptance from Duke so I could keep it under my pillow to comfort me in this, my hour of need. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hedgerows Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 Ditto. What's with them and us poor 18th centuryists? I was sure we'd get into ONE of our mutual programs together bdon! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
