TripWillis Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 Congrats, Trip! I'm so happy for you. I've had my fingers crossed and I think of you every time a Rutgers post goes up I hope you get in! Thanks SP!! Gosh, the people on this board are just so awesome and supportive. So glad I found this place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bdon19 Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 What's with them and us poor 18th centuryists? I was sure we'd get into ONE of our mutual programs together bdon! Well, we still have Cornell and Toronto...though I'm not holding my breath for either. And no matter what, you still have Duke, which is freaking amazing!! If you end up there and I end up at UNC, we can be friendly rivals, k? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think I'd have made it to this point without y'all. TripWillis 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stately Plump Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 Thanks SP!! Gosh, the people on this board are just so awesome and supportive. So glad I found this place.

hedgerows Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 Are either of you hoping to work with Deidre Lynch if you get in to Toronto, bdon and/or hedgerows? I definitely am, because I work with women writers and later 18th c. novels that border on the gothic. But I can't even begin to think about Toronto. That's one of the last ones on my list that'd give Duke a real run for its money... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TripWillis Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 It will be sweet to get to know you in real life when we're classmates at Harvard There's the positive thinking (no joke, as soon as I adopted this new "pos thinking" approach, I immediately got waitlisted. Cool.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I agree 100% with not thinking about Toronto...it would just make my decision that much harder. Watch us both get wait-listed or something ridiculous like that...

cquin Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 (edited) Congrats, Trip! You're knockin' 'em dead this year! I'm pretty sure Rutgers is a bust for me, but I'm still going to keep my fingers crossed for a waitlist notification... Maybe...

bdon19 Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 Trip (and anyone else waitlisted), has your status on the website changed yet? Mine just says "No Decision." Why can't these programs just reject me already?? I just want closure! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cquin Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 Thanks, Trip. I'm not *too* distraught because I still have my 2 acceptances, plus 4 more to hear back from, PLUS I'm meeting with the director of CUNY's MALS program tomorrow to investigate that possibility... Oh well, congratulations to all the acceptees and wait-listees! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bdon19 Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 Oh, Rutgers... You broke my heart </3 Did you call them? I still haven't heard a word, which I'm sure means I'm out, at this point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cquin Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 Did you call them? I still haven't heard a word, which I'm sure means I'm out, at this point. Yeah, I called the department and just gave them my last name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

admirari Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 I haven't heard a thing till now. Do I really need to bite the bullet and call the office to confirm my rejection? I kind of want to believe no news is still a good sign.....ohe this is cruel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rainy_day Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 I didn't find anything in my spam folder, either, so I bit the bullet and sent them an email. All this radio silence is doing a number on my sanity! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
admirari Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 Check your junk e-mail. That's where I found my rejection. No kidding. I did that. I checked, for like twenty times, all my inboxes including the junk box. Nothing. Feels like eating from garbage bin. Painful indeed. Thanks for sharing anyway, bdon19!

TripWillis Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 Pulling for you guys; maybe a waitlist? Waitlist notifications were staggered last year over the course of a few days... not to get anyone's hopes up... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TripWillis Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 Okay, so they just called to check in. I'm #1 on the 20th century subfield list and also high overall. She made it sound like a have a really good shot at this. They also made me feel really good about my application, which is nice. I love compliments.

jma310 Posted February 28, 2012 Author Share Posted February 28, 2012 Yay, Trip. What's with us that haven't heard? It's bizarre, my bf's status says denied & mine still says no decision. Anyone else? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
