It's (Not) About Me Posted February 21, 2013 Posted February 21, 2013 Alas, not a warm fuzzy person in real life (I am friendly though!). Something about apps makes me feel all "united we stand, divided we fall." Solidarity! I can dig it! I'm kind of the same way. When I post on here I have this overwhelming feeling of being among ~my people~. We all know how hard this shit is, so I really am rooting for everyone to find their perfect fit. My college could be a very competitive, cutthroat place at times, and I hated that. In at Loyola Chicago! YAY! Congratulations to you! WOOHOO! Congrats to HHEoS and all other recent acceptees! I just got my notification of acceptance at Lehigh. It's a bit of a small/unknown/rising program, but it's a very good fit, I think (and so do they)! There is no funding information yet, though. Way to go! My sister went to Lehigh for her BA and MA (although not in English), and she really loved her whole experience. It seems like an excellent school. I hope you get a great funding package!
dazedandbemused Posted February 21, 2013 Posted February 21, 2013 Congrats to HHEoS and all other recent acceptees! I just got my notification of acceptance at Lehigh. It's a bit of a small/unknown/rising program, but it's a very good fit, I think (and so do they)! There is no funding information yet, though. Congrats on Lehigh!!! I seriously considered applying there. The thought process was basically, "hey, I could live at home if I went to Lehigh!" followed quickly by "oh god, would I have to live at home if I went to Lehigh?" Their whole built on the side of a giant hill shtick didn't help either. Not much of a walker.
skybythelight Posted February 21, 2013 Posted February 21, 2013 That was me! I was contacted by my POI last night.Congrats! So it was a personal e-mail, then? Maybe I don't have to completely lose hope just yet.
HHEoS Posted February 21, 2013 Posted February 21, 2013 Congrats!!!! Congrats to HHEoS and all other recent acceptees! I just got my notification of acceptance at Lehigh. It's a bit of a small/unknown/rising program, but it's a very good fit, I think (and so do they)! There is no funding information yet, though. Congratulations to you! WOOHOO! Thanks everyone! Seriously, GC might make this process painful at times, but I love sharing this experience with you guys. Also: Congrats asleepawake! Hope you hear good news about funding soon.
isol3 Posted February 21, 2013 Posted February 21, 2013 Oh, I see. I think I searched for "UVA" which for some reason didn't bring those up. Well, that's a bummer. Those were for early fellowship nominees.
happygreengrass Posted February 21, 2013 Posted February 21, 2013 Oooh, I missed a lot of happy dances in the past week (I have the teacher plague). Congrats to all the new acceptances!!!!
thatjewishgirl Posted February 21, 2013 Posted February 21, 2013 (edited) Wow, so I was waitlisted in 18th/19th century at Minnesota. I am *totally* shocked. Also, anyone else apply to Minnesota in that area?! She said she is notifying waitlisters in that area today. Edited February 21, 2013 by thatjewishgirl
aGiRlCalLeDApPlE Posted February 21, 2013 Posted February 21, 2013 I've seen two posts on the results page from Upenn Comp. lit. Anyone in this forum?
blueberryscone Posted February 21, 2013 Posted February 21, 2013 Those were for early fellowship nominees. The acceptances? Does that mean they haven't rolled out the regular acceptances yet? (she said, super-nonchalantly)
It's (Not) About Me Posted February 21, 2013 Posted February 21, 2013 Wow, so I was waitlisted in 18th/19th century at Minnesota. I am *totally* shocked. Also, anyone else apply to Minnesota in that area?! She said she is notifying waitlisters in that area today. Awright! Yay waitlist! May your acceptance follow very soon.
thebeatgoeson Posted February 21, 2013 Posted February 21, 2013 Wow, so I was waitlisted in 18th/19th century at Minnesota. I am *totally* shocked. Also, anyone else apply to Minnesota in that area?! She said she is notifying waitlisters in that area today. Congratuations! I got the Early Modern waitlist call last week. They've been really kind. Best of luck.
thatjewishgirl Posted February 21, 2013 Posted February 21, 2013 Congratuations! I got the Early Modern waitlist call last week. They've been really kind. Best of luck. Yes, you too! I broke down and emailed her after I saw quite a few rejections on here recently.
thatjewishgirl Posted February 21, 2013 Posted February 21, 2013 Awright! Yay waitlist! May your acceptance follow very soon. Thanks!! I hope so! I'm desperate to get the ghost of a chance to visit their Sherlock Holmes special collections.
thebeatgoeson Posted February 21, 2013 Posted February 21, 2013 Sherlock Holmes special collections. Say what now? How did I miss that? Excellent.
thatjewishgirl Posted February 21, 2013 Posted February 21, 2013 Say what now? How did I miss that? Excellent. Obviously you don't spend all your free time obsessively looking at all things Sherlock Holmes on the web, so it is understandable. They're always turning down my ILL requests for stuff, so I definitely know them. https://www.lib.umn.edu/scrbm/holmes
Marie-Luise Posted February 21, 2013 Posted February 21, 2013 Anyone claiming the other UPenn acceptance for Comp Lit? Have ye heard from Stanford? I saw nothing but rejections!
ProfLorax Posted February 21, 2013 Posted February 21, 2013 Just got the call... IN AT MARYLAND! champagne, asleepawake, nothingnew and 7 others 10

dazedandbemused Posted February 21, 2013 Posted February 21, 2013 Just got the call... IN AT MARYLAND! Even Tyra's impressed. lisajay and ErnestPWorrell 2
HHEoS Posted February 21, 2013 Posted February 21, 2013 Just got the call... IN AT MARYLAND! CONGRATS!
It's (Not) About Me Posted February 21, 2013 Posted February 21, 2013 Just got the call... IN AT MARYLAND! GO YOU!! Congratulations!
ProfLorax Posted February 21, 2013 Posted February 21, 2013 Thanks, everyone! I had assumed rejection since so many acceptances went out yesterday, so it was a very surprising voicemail! It definitely sounds like they are still in the process of notifying, so I'll keep my fingers crossed for the other GradCafers waiting for news! aGiRlCalLeDApPlE 1
Panabelle Posted February 21, 2013 Posted February 21, 2013 Thanks, everyone! I had assumed rejection since so many acceptances went out yesterday, so it was a very surprising voicemail! It definitely sounds like they are still in the process of notifying, so I'll keep my fingers crossed for the other GradCafers waiting for news! Proving that much of our theorizing and worrying about implicit rejections is very silly. And CONGRATS!
It's (Not) About Me Posted February 21, 2013 Posted February 21, 2013 Proving that much of our theorizing and worrying about implicit rejections is very silly. And CONGRATS! Shhhhhh! Shhhhh!! La la la la I can't hear you!
