Hey guys, I saw a posting on the results board yesterday that someone had heard from Bloomington, email from faculty. Do you know if they've contacted all of their accepts yet or is this a late fellowship notification (there were a few fellowship nominations a few weeks ago)? Any news would help all of us sitting here biting our nails.

I think that Bloomington breaks their applications into focus area and then once each area committee makes a decision they notify the potential candidates. I saw some posts as early as the the beginning of February saying people heard back with a fellowship offer. My focus area is 19th Cent British/Transatlantic and I heard from a Victorianist by email that I was accepted with a fellowship. Still awaiting the formal offer, which I should get in the mail. So, I don't think Bloomington is done sending out the good news. Hang in there and best of luck!!!!

Hi all, I was accepted by phone today, and I'm completely freaking out. Best of luck to all!!!

Hey all, I just received an email accepting me to the PhD program with the info that I am wait-listed for a first-year fellowship. So it looks like they are still sending out acceptances. Good luck to all!

I emailed the graduate secretary and she said that all notifications have gone out--those nominated for fellowships were informed by email/phone, the rest of us will get hard copies of their decisions in the post. At least we'll know for sure soon.

Just got an acceptance off the wait-list. SO. EXCITED. I feel like I'm coming in really late in the game. Anyone know details on this wait-list for first-year funding, etc? Have they just had a visit weekend and that's why someone declined? Any details you all have would be great. Now I have a really tough decision to make...Texas, Florida, Indiana?

I just checked the mail and found a letter saying that I am "high on [their] waiting list". Given my lack of plausible options, I emailed them to say that I would like to keep my place on the list. However, I am wondering how anyone affords to go there w/o a first year fellowship? If you know the ins and outs of their funding, please share. From what I can tell, I'd be on my own financially for the first and responsible for paying tuition. Also the AI offers for the other years don't seem to be very good - not really enough to live on from what I can see. Despite the crappy funding, CUNY Grad Center is looking better and better.

I know what you mean. I'm looking at an offer from UT and it's much better, from what I can tell. I do love Indiana's kick-ass Victorianists, though... Apparently I was supposed to have received the same letter you did before my acceptance email today (still haven't gotten the wait-list letter; I had no idea). I'm told I'll get a more detailed offer letter tomorrow. I'll try to remember to post more specifics on the funding situation.
