Spritely Posted March 5, 2009 Share Posted March 5, 2009 From what I can tell, the first Arizona State acceptance was posted earlier this afternoon. This person received a phone call from a professor. I saw on my.asu.edu that 1) my status is still "in review" (I suspect they're slow to update hundreds of profiles) and 2) their spring break is NEXT WEEK. So, that gives us Friday and, if we're lucky, the weekend, for potential news on our status. I doubt I got in, but I'd like to know for sure. Anyone with more juicy details on acceptance or rejection from ASU please let us know so we know what to expect or look for. I'm very curious if they are in the process of updating our status online or if they are more worried about calling or sending out postal rejections.

Spritely Posted March 9, 2009 Author Share Posted March 9, 2009 Never mind, I now have the resources to answer my own questions. Dear Spritely. I just checked my.asu.edu and noticed that my status was updated today, showing that I was not admitted to the program. Hopefully this helps, and good luck to everyone else. Love, Spritely xoxo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jthh Posted March 21, 2009 Share Posted March 21, 2009 FYI, as of March 21 my Rhet/Comp & Linguistics application is still "In Review." I've been accepted elsewhere, but it'd still be nice to know what's up! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magelette Posted March 21, 2009 Share Posted March 21, 2009 My Lit application is still in review. Since there haven't been any new notifications since before spring break (last week), I think they're still going through the pile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jthh Posted March 26, 2009 Share Posted March 26, 2009 That must be quite a pile. I liked how ASU was the example of schools that are having huge budget problems in the recent NY Times article on the subject. OK, I didn't like it...but it did make me less confident about the availablity of funding there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dantesinferno08 Posted March 26, 2009 Share Posted March 26, 2009 I emailed the graduate coordinator yesterday and she responded today and told me that I was put on the wait list, but she couldn't tell me where I am on the list and that she would find out and let me know. For some reason they have made all the decisions, but have been slow getting out notifications. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magelette Posted March 26, 2009 Share Posted March 26, 2009 So, 'in review' might not necessarily mean on the wait list on the website, it might mean there's a decision, they just haven't actually updated the website status yet? I'm having deja vu to last year, when I was in the exact same position. Whoo! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magelette Posted March 26, 2009 Share Posted March 26, 2009 Yup, please welcome me to team waitlist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wrappedupinbooks Posted March 27, 2009 Share Posted March 27, 2009 Yup, please welcome me to team waitlist. I'm glad for you.... How did you find this out? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magelette Posted March 27, 2009 Share Posted March 27, 2009 I emailed the DGS and asked. She emailed back and said, waitlisted, will let you more later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wrappedupinbooks Posted March 27, 2009 Share Posted March 27, 2009 If anyone else who hasnt heard yet hears something, let me know... I'm happily waiting. (comp teacher comes out with red pen, writing "awk". Oh well) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jthh Posted March 28, 2009 Share Posted March 28, 2009 The secretary answered my email: "As far as I know, you are on a waitlist," and said she'd get back to me with more details later. Kind of weird... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

magelette Posted March 31, 2009 Share Posted March 31, 2009 Just got rejected off the waitlist. Whoo! I'm thrilled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wrappedupinbooks Posted March 31, 2009 Share Posted March 31, 2009 Sorry to hear that! I'm scared as heck..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magelette Posted March 31, 2009 Share Posted March 31, 2009 Well, if you get an email from donotreply@asu.edu, and the subject is "ASU Rejection Letter", congratulations! You too are off the waitlist! I guess there's always next year. Third time's a charm? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spritely Posted March 31, 2009 Author Share Posted March 31, 2009 At least you people made the wait list. I was rejected outright, and I thought the program was one of my better fits. I love how the e-mail is entitled "ASU Deny Letter." Why bother filling in the body of the e-mail after that point? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jthh Posted April 1, 2009 Share Posted April 1, 2009 I just got an "ASU Admit Letter" from the applied lingustics program (I applied to 2 programs at ASU), but I remain in waitlist limbo (i.e., "maybe you're on the waitlist?") with the English dept. EDIT: I've withdrawn my application - hope this helps other waitlisters! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wrappedupinbooks Posted April 2, 2009 Share Posted April 2, 2009 Darnit. Why do they send the rejection letters at midnight? Because bad things happen at night. Watch out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mkmason Posted April 5, 2009 Share Posted April 5, 2009 I got an acceptance email on March 24, no other info yet in the mail or anywhere else. I have called and emailed, no answers, and I know it's not spring break. I'm still holding out hope for a GA position. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magelette Posted April 5, 2009 Share Posted April 5, 2009 ASU only had something like ten funded spots this year, to be divvied up between PhD and MFA, so competition for funding was fierce. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wrappedupinbooks Posted April 5, 2009 Share Posted April 5, 2009 Darn that sucks. I really wanted to go there too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mkmason Posted April 11, 2009 Share Posted April 11, 2009 The graduate coordinator told me on the phone that probably no MA students would be getting TA positions as PhDs have priority. Soooo.... are they expecting any new MA students I wonder? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
