Vincenzo Salvatore Posted February 1, 2013 Posted February 1, 2013 we didn't apply to any of the same schools
vvvooommm Posted February 1, 2013 Author Posted February 1, 2013 I'm thinking we're going to have to suffer through at least another week before hearing anything else. My e-mail is my life now.
ghijklmn Posted February 1, 2013 Posted February 1, 2013 I'm thinking we're going to have to suffer through at least another week before hearing anything else. My e-mail is my life now. NOOOOOOOOO! I keep thinking... six hour time difference, that means I MIGHT hear something before I go to bed...
NowMoreSerious Posted February 1, 2013 Posted February 1, 2013 Yesterday I received the admission notification (with a summary of the financial offer) from University of Minnesota for the Program in Comparative Studies in Discourse and Society (part of Comp Lip Dep). The mail was wonderful, I am truly satisfied. The Welcome Weekend will be probably held in March.Congrats! I was the other board admit, and yes that personalized email made my day..month...heck, life.If you don't mind me asking what are your areas?
Magical Realist Posted February 1, 2013 Posted February 1, 2013 Magical Realist: nope, my interview is next Tuesday. When is yours? So much time to be nervous from now until then... I had mine today. My interviewers were incredibly friendly, and it wasn't too bad. Lasted about 30min with the kinds of questions you'd expect. But they appear to select interviewers based on shared interests, so yours maybe different.

Magical Realist Posted February 1, 2013 Posted February 1, 2013 (edited) So got my official (though not unexpected) Berkeley shutout. 3 down, 12 more to go. Edited February 1, 2013 by Magical Realist

Lasted about 30min with the kinds of questions you'd expect. But they appear to select interviewers based on shared interests, so yours maybe different. Thanks for this! I will certainly comb through the department reading up on faculty that might possibly be present... I'm glad that it went well for you! And vvoooommm: I'm in France. Are you abroad too?
vvvooommm Posted February 1, 2013 Author Posted February 1, 2013 Yes, I'm in the UK. The fact that Berkeley and Northwestern have come out suggests the flow has started...
t1racyjacks Posted February 2, 2013 Posted February 2, 2013 is it that Berkeley sends out comp lit rejections before comp lit acceptances or are we just real unlucky?
Magical Realist Posted February 2, 2013 Posted February 2, 2013 It's definitely hard telling, but it'd be nice to know at least someone here made the Berkeley list. I'm just hoping to get all the results over and done with so I can start thinking about the rest of my life. On the bright side, I got my first official offer today (it was the official version of earlier this weeks' unofficial version), but that has not assuaged my need to refresh continuously. I keep telling myself "just a few more weeks"... And to ghi..., I wish you the best of luck with the Penn State interview. For me, I'm now more excited about the program than when I was applying. Here's hoping (maybe we'll be classmates! )
ghijklmn Posted February 2, 2013 Posted February 2, 2013 (edited) Thanks, Magical Realist! I'm glad you have one acceptance under your belt now By the way, can anyone claim the Michigan Comp Lit acceptance?? Seems my source was wrong. Anyway, to whomever you are, congrats!

I am about to have mine on next Wednesday. Thanks for the info! And Congrats on your acceptance! So I suppose there will be more than one interviewer involved? And good luck to ghijklmn too!

ghijklmn Posted February 4, 2013 Posted February 4, 2013 Did anyone else apply to WashU? I e-mailed the secretary, and she said they hope to have decision letters for ALL (acceptances, waitlists, and rejections) in the middle of this week. Then, if you're nominated for an Olin fellowship, they'll fly you out for an interview on March 4. So impatient!!! Oh, and good luck to you too, Gustav!

That is about the same time for the Penn State interview. Now I am not sure which one I should be more nervous about.... But luckily I just got an acceptance to Stony Brook. Ye!!!

aGiRlCalLeDApPlE Posted February 4, 2013 Posted February 4, 2013 No news from UT Austin or Upenn comp. lit? When should I expect it?
ghijklmn Posted February 4, 2013 Posted February 4, 2013 I didn't apply to Penn, but my UT Austin app still says "in review"...
aGiRlCalLeDApPlE Posted February 4, 2013 Posted February 4, 2013 Mine too, I hope they make their decisions soon, happy ones hopefully
ghijklmn Posted February 4, 2013 Posted February 4, 2013 (edited) WUSTL is a go! Super excited! I was hoping so hard for a notification today Edited February 4, 2013 by ghijklmn
Gustav Posted February 4, 2013 Posted February 4, 2013 I got into WUSTL! Super excited! I was hoping so hard for a notification today Tuition + pretty generous stipend. Ahhh it's unreal! Big Congrats!!

asleepawake Posted February 4, 2013 Posted February 4, 2013 Congrats, Lady Mary! I would have thought it would be Edith to go for comparative lit... Enzian 1
