Gustav Posted February 19, 2013 Posted February 19, 2013 Hi Gustav, I actually didn't quite understand what the director meant by inviting me to their Recruitment Weekend, but I have turned down the offer cuz I am going elsewhere. Oh, I see. Thanks for the info! PS: Congrats on your acceptances! Stanford! Such an amazing program!
ghijklmn Posted February 19, 2013 Posted February 19, 2013 Hi, jiajia! Penn State just emailed me too. But told me to wait for funding (not sure if this means being wait-listed). Did they offer you a place? Congrats! Does this mean they just don't have info on funding yet, or you're in line for funding? In any case, glad you're in! Are you going to try to go to recruitment weekend?
ghijklmn Posted February 19, 2013 Posted February 19, 2013 Oh, and for the rest of you UT Austin applicants: apparently the committee had their official meeting a few days ago, so hopefully news will start trickling down. aGiRlCalLeDApPlE 1
aGiRlCalLeDApPlE Posted February 19, 2013 Posted February 19, 2013 Days are so slow and the fact that I only have Friday as weekend kills me, cuz I have to count the hours on Sat. and Sun. and Monday too, since there is about 8 hours difference between here and the US. So, I have to wait to the evening until I expect to hear from them. So boring !
lettrice Posted February 19, 2013 Posted February 19, 2013 Also, quick question to those who were notified about Stanford Comp Lit via post: did you also get an e-mail or website status change? Hi guys! I'm new to the forum. I just checked my physical mailbox... and there was the "small envelope" from Stanford So far, no e-mail or website status change, just the letter via post. Good luck to everyone! Marie-Luise 1
bateauivre Posted February 19, 2013 Posted February 19, 2013 Has anyone heard anything from GC CUNY or Rutgers?

But you get an up vote for your cute profile picture.
yellow.wallpaper Posted February 19, 2013 Posted February 19, 2013 Has anyone heard anything from GC CUNY or Rutgers? I was interviewed for CUNY today. :/ We'll see what happens... bateauivre 1
Marie-Luise Posted February 20, 2013 Posted February 20, 2013 I was interviewed for CUNY today. :/ We'll see what happens... Good luck to you! Is it your first choice? Where else did you apply?
DontHate Posted February 20, 2013 Posted February 20, 2013 I heard from CUNY as well, interviewed there last week.
yellow.wallpaper Posted February 20, 2013 Posted February 20, 2013 Good luck to you! Is it your first choice? Where else did you apply? It's one of my top choice. I also applied to UMass-Amherst, UW-Madison (nominated for a fellowship) and UChicago. We'll see what happens. :'( Marie-Luise 1
Gustav Posted February 20, 2013 Posted February 20, 2013 Congrats! Does this mean they just don't have info on funding yet, or you're in line for funding? In any case, glad you're in! Are you going to try to go to recruitment weekend? Thanks, ghijklmn! But all that I can be sure of is that I am not out yet, because the wording of the email is a bit vague. It says "you are on our very top list of finalists ... though we cannot offer a funding package just yet." And "over the next several weeks the funding picture will become clearer." My guess is that it is just another way to say I was wait-listed. Still, better than straight off rejection. No, I am not going to the weekend as I am in China right now, uninvited and broke . Hope you have fun there!
Marie-Luise Posted February 20, 2013 Posted February 20, 2013 This doesn't sound like a rejection to me. It's an unofficial acceptance, since funding is pending.
lettrice Posted February 20, 2013 Posted February 20, 2013 But you get an up vote for your cute profile picture. Hehe, thanks Marie-Luise!
aGiRlCalLeDApPlE Posted February 20, 2013 Posted February 20, 2013 UT sent an e-mail asking for my transcript, they said the uploaded file is not viewable ? Anyway, I'm frustrated that while I'm waiting impatiently for their decision, they're still "in the process of reviewing my application". It seems that there'll be no end for that.
aGiRlCalLeDApPlE Posted February 21, 2013 Posted February 21, 2013 I've seen two posts on the results page from Upenn Comp. lit. Anyone want to claim that?
Bennett Posted February 21, 2013 Posted February 21, 2013 I've seen two posts on the results page from Upenn Comp. lit. Anyone want to claim that? Hi yeah one of them is me. Haven't been very (read: at all) active on these threads previously, because my response to stress is to hole up in a corner. Anyway it was a v. kind e-mail to be followed by a phone call and official (snail-mail) acceptance letter, and an accepted students' weekend in late March.
Marie-Luise Posted February 21, 2013 Posted February 21, 2013 Ok. Congratulations! Question: Has anyone gotten into Comp Lit at Stanford? There are nothing but rejections? Anyone wanna humbly claim those, tail between the legs? What about Penn State? Don't be shy people. I promise to post my Harvard rejection is that's what it's gonna be.
getoutofmyhouse Posted February 21, 2013 Posted February 21, 2013 I'd like my Brown decision any minute now...
DontHate Posted February 21, 2013 Posted February 21, 2013 I'd like my Brown decision any minute now... Oh my god, yes! It looks like historically they notified weeks ago
wmb Posted February 21, 2013 Posted February 21, 2013 So... Penn has released its decisions. Any lucky acceptances? And does anyone know if historically they release their rejections significantly later than their acceptances? aGiRlCalLeDApPlE 1
getoutofmyhouse Posted February 21, 2013 Posted February 21, 2013 I notice that my Profile Completion date has changed twice now. Once on the 15th and another today. I bet they're fiddling with our applications as we type. Composing personalized acceptance letters and one single rejection letter for roughly 90 people.
DontHate Posted February 21, 2013 Posted February 21, 2013 haha yeah probably. I'm too freaked out to poke around the application website
wmb Posted February 21, 2013 Posted February 21, 2013 ~*~*~losing my mind~*~*~ also, hello everyone, i have been lurking for a long time, more an habitué of the french forum
