Magical Realist Posted February 3, 2013 Posted February 3, 2013 Congrats Bluecheese! And related to the topic at-large here: I learned after my interview that the DGS will be doing phone notifications of decisions next weekend. So of course, my freakout here is acceptance or rejection related; I'm terrified of exactly what I'm supposed to say or how the conversation is supposed to go either way. Anyone care to share the details of their phone conversations? Am I overthinking this? I. Cannot. Wait. For. This. To. Be. Over, (Also, I've kept my applications a secret from my employer because I didn't want my sabbatical to be rescinded, and continue to keep it a secret because I don't want to be on the receiving end of ill wishes for taking such a long vacation when I wasn't planning on sticking around. So *not* being a high-strung, suspicious mess at work has been quite the challenge.)

Does NYU have phone interviews? Clearly, I've missed the boat on this information....
Magical Realist Posted February 3, 2013 Posted February 3, 2013 Ahh sorry for being unnecessarily confusing and/or panic-inducing.I probably should have said *an interview. But it was a comp lit interview, and most definitely not for NYU (sure would love to get a "yes" from that direction, though). And lastly, thanks.

I'm... I'm in. I'm in. I did it. YEEEAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! I was big time rooting for you, datatape. Pleased as punch. Do you do ecocriticism at all? UN Reno is supposed to be one of the great places to study Literature and the Environment. I thought of applying there when I was still more of an ecocritic. Edit: I guess I could've looked at your signature. There it is. Yes, you do ecocrit. Edited February 3, 2013 by TripWillis Datatape 1

Mercyhurst2010 Posted February 3, 2013 Posted February 3, 2013 There's another Iowa phone call acceptance on the board, so that makes three. What do we think? Could there be more on the way, or is this likely to be it? I really have no idea how many offers Iowa usually makes, but I do know that (based on previous years on the results board) this seems fairly early for Iowa's decisions.

squire_western Posted February 3, 2013 Posted February 3, 2013 There's another Iowa phone call acceptance on the board, so that makes three. What do we think? Could there be more on the way, or is this likely to be it? I really have no idea how many offers Iowa usually makes, but I do know that (based on previous years on the results board) this seems fairly early for Iowa's decisions. I'm wondering that as well. I applied to Iowa and my status hasn't changed from "in progress." I was also under the impression based on communications with the DoE and the results board of previous years that results aren't usually released before the first week of March. And it looks like at least about ten people posted that they were admitted in 2011, and I'm assuming not everyone admitted posts on gradcafe. I'm trying to console myself by thinking that perhaps the admitted individuals were in comp/rhet or creative writing, but there's no way to tell based on the results page.
DisplayCancel Posted February 3, 2013 Posted February 3, 2013 What are people's thoughts on NYU-more admits coming? or are the two posted it for the grad cafe cohort??
Gwendolyn Posted February 3, 2013 Posted February 3, 2013 Yippee! Got a call from OSU emphatically detailing a funding package. I haven't officially heard back from my other schools yet, but I think my mind is made up. feraleyes, wreckofthehope, Codex and 1 other 4

I haven't heard a thing yet, but we'll see. I see two Vanderbilt acceptances on the board; anyone want to claim the other one?
sadthatthisdefinesmylife Posted February 4, 2013 Posted February 4, 2013 Congrats to the Vandy admits. Its nice to see good news go up after the bloodbath earlier. Hope you all find the treasure map that leads to the lost treasure of The Fugitives.
