Fall 2013 English Lit Applicants


Recommended Posts

I wonder if that's it for Duke? There were only a three acceptances (and no waitlists) posted last year on the board.

 

Is it just horrible luck that none of the admits are on Grad Cafe? Leaving us in the dark!!!

Eep.  Anyone else feeling irrationally impatient since we passed the 1st of February?  I keep looking at the previous year's dates and wondering why there's so little activity right now.  Then I fantasize about careers of academic hotness, and realistic alternatives like working at a used bookstore for $8 an hour.

 

The inside of my brain looks like an indie web comic.  :blink:

Yes! I was doing fine, but then the 1st passed and it was like the anxiety/stress switch inside of me was turned to maximum capacity.

 

 

I still haven't heard anything from any of my schools. Anyone else in this position?

 

Also, yes. I haven't heard so much as a whisper. It's kind of unnerving.

I haven't heard anything yet, either. But it's still really early! Only one of my schools has done any notifying (Ohio State), so I am remaining optimistic.

 

That being said, I am planning on a high level of crazy come February 15 if I still don't hear anything.

I haven't either. And there is a possibility that 3 of my schools have started notifying (I say "possibility" because it seems way too early for one of them, so I'm suspicious/delusional).

 

I actually had to stop going to the results page altogether, and only allow myself to come to the forum once every day or two, because the waiting was driving me into emotional breakdowns.

 

But I'm living in hope until someone comes along to crack my bubble. Implicit rejections can screw themselves--if I haven't seen the rejection letter, it aint true *puts fingers in ears*

Would like to pile on to the "really early but feels so far along" group. I've only had one confirmed rejection, and it is still quite early for the vast majority of my other 12 targets. Still, as February 5 comes on, I'm going nuts.

Me!  I have three to four implicit rejections but no solid responses.  It's maddening

<p>I don't even have any informing yet. I really hope Berkeley informs this week. I am just so tired of waiting -- whatever the result is it can't be changed now <img class="bbc_emoticon" src="http://forum.thegradcafe.com/public/style_emoticons/default/mellow.png title=":mellow:" /></p>

Yes. I'm trying really hard to stay in this place, but it's not easy. The madness is slowly creeping in.

I'm extremely tired of waiting for WashU. My daily ritual is now to wake up in the morning, get on gradcafe with a cup of coffee, and then check my WashU status page twice. I should get up and immediately start reading for my thesis, not this.

Chicago results, oh crap! I hate waking up to find that there is a reason I'll be on the results board even more than usual today.

 

ahhhhhhhhhh....yeah, there's gonna be some anxiety in my world today.
