South Carolina Comp Lit/English Application Status

[Gustav]

Hi, everyone!

 

I just checked my South Carolina application account, the status is now "recommend" and yet the decision status is "pending". I cannot quite remember if this is the default status after the submission (though I have checked the status for like a million times now). So I was wondering does it mean that I was recommended by the department? Or am I just being desperately paranoid again? Thanks!

It's probably just the Graduate School recommending you to the department, though I can't be quite certain as I haven't applied there or anything.

Thanks for the reply!  Not sure who was recommending to whom. But I just found out that I got in. Ye!

Congrats Gustav!

Thank YOU, asleepawake! 

 

I must say I really benefited a lot from your Dropbox SOP feedback group. I really appreciated it! But I did not post my SOP because I didn't finish it at the time and it felt like a total mess. I am still feeling pretty guilty about not sharing. So if the group is still running, I hope I may contribution now by posting mine. Many, many thanks!

Glad to hear it! I actually just purged that folder thusly kicking out all the members, but I'd love to see what you came up with if you want to PM me. Only a couple of us ever posted, but I got some great feedback there as well.

This is the University of South Carolina? I've applied there, as well. My status is still "New," with Decision Status "Pending." Did you get a call or email from them, or did you contact them to confirm? 

 

PS... CONGRATS!!!

Yes, at Columbia. I haven't heard from the Dept. yet. The App Status changed to "recommend" several days ago, and then, yesterday, the Decision Status became "admitted". But I don't know if they have started sending out formal notifications. I will let you know if I get one. Wish you the best of luck!

I actually just received a formal email from South Carolina admitting me to the English problem! Hooray!

 

Edit: I'm also excited about the English PROGRAM!

This is a wonderful typo/Freudian slip 

 

Congrats to everyone in this thread on your acceptances!

Hahahaha! I'm going to go edit that now. I was perhaps still a little too excited when I wrote that.

Congrats, muchado!!! I hope I get a positive email soon, as well... haha.

I hope so too! The words "advanced notice" were in my email, and I had to send something back because of the fellowship I was nominated for. SO - there's definitely a chance they are still sending emails out. I was told to expect word from the Graduate school soon.
