despejado Posted February 19, 2014 Posted February 19, 2014 (edited) I think I would also apply to MA this weekend. I think there are still schools out there with a very late ddl. Yes, there are. It's finding the funded ones that's tricky. Edited February 19, 2014 by despejado
jazzyd Posted February 19, 2014 Posted February 19, 2014 Accepted at U Michigan Ann Arbor! I may have accidentally danced my way across campus when I heard the news. This is my first acceptance, and before I got an acceptance...well, the mind goes to dark places. Like, "I'm not smart or qualified enough to be an academic; I'm a fraud; I should give up this fanciful dream of academia and manage a Chipotle" sorts of places. Good luck to everyone else who applied! Congratulations! Michigan is a great program, great school, and outside of academics you can't go wrong with the Big 10. Well, I just spoke to the DGS of the only program that I applied to, and I am first on the waitlist. Simultaneous relief and terror. There were four offers made. It feels weird to have one's future hinging on the decisions of four strangers. That's great news! Will be crossing my fingers that you get into a spot.
ArthChauc Posted February 19, 2014 Posted February 19, 2014 Has anyone applied to Rochester?? I applied to Rochester!
igetstuffdunn Posted February 19, 2014 Posted February 19, 2014 Odd to not have heard from UC Davis. Anyone else in this boat and bracing for a rejection?
pdh12 Posted February 19, 2014 Posted February 19, 2014 Hi, I was just accepted into SUNY Binghamton's Master's in Comp Lit. (applied for Phd). Does anyone know anything about this program? jazzyd 1
Kamisha Posted February 19, 2014 Posted February 19, 2014 Odd to not have heard from UC Davis. Anyone else in this boat and bracing for a rejection? I emailed Davis for my rejection and got a really nice personal response, but haven’t received the “official” rejection notice either.
mikers86 Posted February 19, 2014 Posted February 19, 2014 Shouldn't Brown be crushing all our hopes and dreams any day now?
andrewcycs Posted February 19, 2014 Posted February 19, 2014 Arthurian, we should be hearing quite soon. Don't beat me out of the applicant pool okay?? Okay, good deal.
Katia_chan Posted February 19, 2014 Posted February 19, 2014 Has anyone applied to Rochester?? I did as well. If history serves, should be seeing acceptances from them soon. Fingers crossed for all--fantastic program. Also, re: the Chipotle comment, from what I understand, feeling like a fraud never goes away. I have one acceptance, and i'm waiting for someone to realize they made a mistake and send me on my way.
semicolon2013 Posted February 19, 2014 Posted February 19, 2014 I got my Rochester acceptance a few days ago. It was a notification via website followed by a more detailed email about a day later. aGiRlCalLeDApPlE 1
bgguitarist Posted February 19, 2014 Posted February 19, 2014 Accepted at U Oregon! Woo! Katia_chan, jazzyd and anon455 3
igetstuffdunn Posted February 19, 2014 Posted February 19, 2014 Accepted at U Oregon! Woo! Congratulations!
andrewcycs Posted February 19, 2014 Posted February 19, 2014 Semicolon, whattt??? They started. Well shoot!
Kamisha Posted February 19, 2014 Posted February 19, 2014 Accepted at U Oregon! Woo! Let’s rule out notification theories What letter does your last name start with, what’s your emphasis, and when did they contact you? That’s SO exciting!
semicolon2013 Posted February 19, 2014 Posted February 19, 2014 Semicolon, whattt??? They started. Well shoot! Don't give up hope yet. I have no idea what their process is. You might still have a shot (and I will almost certainly be declining the offer, so if you get on the waitlist, there's hope!)
ArthChauc Posted February 19, 2014 Posted February 19, 2014 Yay to the Oregon/Rochester acceptances. I applied to both, feeling pretty jealous about now.
igetstuffdunn Posted February 19, 2014 Posted February 19, 2014 I emailed Davis for my rejection and got a really nice personal response, but haven’t received the “official” rejection notice either. Part of me knows it is going to be a rejection and that it's just a matter of time, but I still don't want to give up hope I guess (as sad as that is). If I email them and find out then it's over. Better to just not...hear...anything...? Ugh. I still have a lot of schools to hear from, I'm just hoping I don't get a ton of rejections all at the same time. Better to space out the pain.
bgguitarist Posted February 19, 2014 Posted February 19, 2014 Let’s rule out notification theories What letter does your last name start with, what’s your emphasis, and when did they contact you? That’s SO exciting! Last name "F," Victorian /19th Century Novel, called about 40 mins ago. They just had the ad comm meeting yesterday. They said they're looking for a cohort of 8-12 PhDs.
Katia_chan Posted February 19, 2014 Posted February 19, 2014 Yay to the Oregon/Rochester acceptances. I applied to both, feeling pretty jealous about now. Ditto... I guess there's still waitlists....
Kamisha Posted February 19, 2014 Posted February 19, 2014 Last name "F," Victorian /19th Century Novel, called about 40 mins ago. They just had the ad comm meeting yesterday. They said they're looking for a cohort of 8-12 PhDs. You kick ass. Thanks for the info And congrats again! bgguitarist 1
Tweedledumb Posted February 19, 2014 Posted February 19, 2014 Odd to not have heard from UC Davis. Anyone else in this boat and bracing for a rejection? Same boat. Inevitable drowning to occur in the near future. igetstuffdunn 1
Kamisha Posted February 19, 2014 Posted February 19, 2014 Brace yourselves: here come the Brown rejections Best of luck to all of you who applied.
despejado Posted February 19, 2014 Posted February 19, 2014 Brace yourselves: here come the Brown rejections Best of luck to all of you who applied. Just got mine. Totally expected though.
