UH Manoa

[rufzilla]

Hi all,

Has anyone heard anything from University of Hawaii's Literary Studies in English program (MA)? Or from the English department in general? UHM's English Dept website said that they want to finish PhD decisions by March and MAs by April, but should I be expecting a response soon? Or should I just chillax and wait until April finally rolls around? It seems that most graduate programs are letting applicants know already. Do you think I should be worried? Anyone have any past experiences or been accepted/ rejected to UHM for Fall '09? Thoughts?

I didn't even think of looking at schools in Hawaii.

I kind of wish I had applied there now.

Sorry I can't be of more help.

I heard last year on March 13, if that helps.

I really wanted to apply to UH but I wouldn't be able to take all my pets. Bummer.

For what it's worth from last year:

University Of Hawaii Manoa English (Lit/Cultural), PhD Accepted via E-mail on 26 Feb 2008 U 29 Feb 2008 4 year GAship, possibility of 5th.

So one person got an early acceptance last year, although that doesn't mean you've been rejected. If nothing else you could at least be wait listed. And those dreams do come true.

Best of luck to you.

Anyone heard anything about their Master's program specifically? Everything I see for acceptance/ rejection dates have been for the PhD program. Well, since PhDs heard in February and the time they wanted to finish processing everything is March, then should I just sit tight until the mid/end of March for the Master's program's response?

Sorry if I'm getting annoying, but I only applied to UHM since I've lived here all my life and didn't want to go to a mainland school. I'm kind of in a make or break situation. Ugh, I hate waiting!

Sit tight. You're on Hawaii time, as I am sure you know very well. :wink:

I know and I hate it! I'm gonna have a little pity party for myself.
