I also got into NYU (AAAHHH!). They called Saturday morning (and apparently before, but I never received it). I haven't had internet access until now so I couldn't post it here.

 

Congratulations!!!

 

I still have not heard from Ohio State or NYU. Assumed rejections?

 

I still haven't heard from NYU either. :(

Got a call from Northwestern on Friday. I'm calmed down now, but I was definitely very enthused after that call (and during for that matter!).

 

Haven't heard from NYU at all... so I'll assume a rejection :/

Congrats!!!

 

Any more light you can shed on the NW acceptance? What's your specialty? Any idea what the cohort size will be?

19-C American, 19th/20th C African American, critical race theory

 

No clue about cohort size, was only told that the applications were "competitive". And quite honestly I think I was shouting too loudly in my brain to be able to comprehend such details even if I was given them!

 

And thank you!!

Congrats to you all on your wonderful acceptances!

There's an acceptance up for U Michigan in English and Education... maybe that means English Lit will be coming soon. Eek.

In the nanoseconds between reading the words "english" and "education" I almost had a heart attack.

So does anyone think that Duke has already sent out acceptances? I'm not sure I understand how it is possible to have decided on waitlisters if admissions decisions have not already been made. The former seems to depend on the latter, no? :(

I think there are a few options with regard to Duke:

 

1. that's it, everything has been sent out

2. they're going to send out personal acceptances to the people admitted this year, so they haven't entered them online yet 

3. they'll finish in the morning and we'll see some actual acceptances (as opposed to just waitlists)

4. something else

 

I'm leaning toward the first one based on the number of people who have posted on the board (only 3 people posted acceptances last year, and no one posted that they were waitlisted)... but who knows

Yeah, who knows what they're up to? Personal e-mails or calls to the accepted seems likely... and that may have already happened. Sometimes nobody from gradcafe gets in... I'd say it's more likely coming very soon, though. I like #4, too.

I'm assuming that NYU is done with phd admits and that it's a no-go for me. I'd love to be proved wrong, though!

This, a thousand times this.

Yep.

Congrats to all of the Notre Dame finalists!

Is it pretty safe to say that all the interview invitations went out this afternoon, and that if you didn't get an email it's probably a reject? I'm not quite familiar with how the programs that interview (uncommon as they are in English) tend to operate. If so, looks like I'm 0 for 2 now.  -_-

I read a thread on here from last year or the year before -- I think about Emory -- that suggested that the waitlist could extend beyond the group of applicants interviewed. No clue if this is true for Notre Dame.

I don't really want to hear back from schools anymore. I just want to forget I made this horrible mistake of applying and thinking I might get in somewhere.

Well a lot of us are at that place. But if you want to be the best, you don't quit.
