Zissoupy Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 I was looking through the results page again (god I need to not be obsessed with this site) and there were some ppl notified the 5th and some notified the 10th and both were acceptances, so perhaps it isn't as clear cut as we thought? Perhaps. I'm not holding out much hope for myself, but you never know! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Academicat Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 So Congrats to the folks who were accepted to Ohio State! The results search doesn't indicate where you're in the comp/rhet program or the lit program. Has anyone gotten an acceptance for Comp/rhet yet?

despejado Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 Lol. Have confidence! It's all about "fit" and I'm sure each of us will find the school that works best for us! Liking your outlook applied to an ungodly number of schools, so hoping something works out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrewcycs Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 I didn't see the one on the 10th!! I definitely saw the one on the 5th. I'm feeling the hope slip from my greedy little fingers! And the self loathing isn't too far behind. Haha. I would be happy to get into any of the schools I applied to. Seriously, even one acceptance and I would be ecstatic. I just really did not want to start with a rejection! And everyone says to expect that from Duke, but I feel all the programs are just as hard to get into! Dahhh!

Zissoupy Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 I hate to bring the bad news, but apparently the person who posted in the 10th was actually notified the same time as the others (according to the date he/she listed). It looks like the only year where they did two rounds of acceptances was 2008. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zissoupy Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 Oh well... For me, that's one likely rejection down, thirteen rejections to go. Haha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looks like the only year where they did two rounds of acceptances was 2008. Oh well. It looks like today or maybe tomorrow would be the last day of good notifications. I was really hoping it would be in february. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zissoupy Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 Haha Switters!!! I feel the same way. Where did you apply?? Berkeley, Duke, Chapel Hill, Irvine, Vanderbilt, Davis, U of Washington, Riverside, Boulder, Oregon, Arizona State, Lincoln, Florida State, and Baylor. I tried to make sure I had a couple schools in every tier, so I applied from rank 1 to rank 121. How about you? The only rejection that is really going to kill me is Berkeley. I'm in love with that place. I walked around the campus in October while at a conference and just fell for the school so hard. It will break my heart.

I'm feeling like I should have applied through the 100s as well. I stopped somewhere in the sixties and am having huge regrets right about now.

despejado Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 I wouldn't. Fit is fit. You're going to do great. Don't be so down about Berkeley! I know you wouldn't have applied if you didn't think you had some kind of shot, and I'm sure you DO have a decent shot. Head up! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know you wouldn't have applied if you didn't think you had some kind of shot, and I'm sure you DO have a decent shot. Head up! You are kind. Haha. Berkeley gets over 600 applicants, so qualifications are really secondary. I honestly should have applied to their Film program. It was a better fit. But I want to teach in an English department, so I thought I'd just go for the visual culture sort of emphasis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrewcycs Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 Nice! Have you heard from Baylor, I know some people got interviews. We're applying to a couple of the same schools. I'm applying to duke, nyu, brown, vanderbilt, notre dame, michigan Ann Arbor, georgetown, chapel hill, and WashU. Georgetown is a masters. I wish I had picked some "easier" schools as well! Oh well. Lol. Too late now. I have a back up plan at least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you have a Film focus in undergrad? Regardless, I wouldn't count anything out just yet. If qualifications really are secondary, then I'm sure the variety of your interests would stand out to an adcomm as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zissoupy Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 (edited) Not exactly an emphasis, but my undergrad thesis and my master's thesis (both in English programs) focus on film and culture. Edited January 30, 2014 by Switters Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
semicolon2013 Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 I have implicit rejections at two places (Emory and Duke) and am terrified I won't get in anywhere. The worst thing is, I have no idea what to do differently if I have to reapply. My "numbers" are pretty strong (3.8 undergrad 168V, 670 subject). I was happy with my SOP and writing sample but now I am questioning everything. Maybe one of my recommendations wasn't as strong as I thought? Maybe my SOP was too narrow or I didn't assess fit very well? Ahhh. I'm going crazy trying to figure out what went wrong, and it's not even February! Sorry for the rant.

andrewcycs Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 It's okay semicolon! This is the place to get out the frustration. Lol. I think we all feel the sweeping insecurities about our applications when we get rejected somewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zissoupy Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 Maybe we will be at Chapel Hill together I DO have the paid-interview at Baylor next month, so at least I have something to feel confident about. Haha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
