cordis Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 Waiting...waiting...waiting... Any results from CUNY English? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shortstack51 Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 Last year they started getting back to people on the 11th, so I'm assuming it'll be in the next few days. 2012 they e-mailed people with rejections first, 2013 they did acceptances and rejections at the same time, so we'll see what happens. I'm also waiting to hear from them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cordis Posted February 11, 2014 Author Share Posted February 11, 2014 I caved and emailed the DGS. Results are happening after Feb 18th. AAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGG! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shortstack51 Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 I caved and emailed the DGS. Results are happening after Feb 18th. AAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGG! Oof! Wonder if the extra wait was caused by the weather or if they just got a late start this year. I have to wait a whole week? Yikes. I was hoping to hear back from 3 schools this week, but now it looks like I might only hear back from 1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pelicano Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 anyone claiming the CUNY acceptance just posted? Seems personal emails are order of the day, which might mean acceptances are over a few days (says hopefully...) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReadingLisa Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 Yeah, I was the one who posted about my acceptance. Very nice email, which made my day. pelicano 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pelicano Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 Congratulations!They're my top choice, so really hope I hear back from them soon so that I know one way or the other. Do you mind if I ask if your email was from POI? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shortstack51 Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 There have been acceptances dribbling in since Friday--three in total I think. Congrats to those who got accepted! I keep checking my e-mail nervously since I saw the first one pop up on Friday or Saturday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pelicano Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 Tell me about it shortstack. Hope we both hear (good news!) in next couple of days. There are definitely more offers to come. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shortstack51 Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 There are definitely more coming! CUNY usually admits a decent amount of students, though funding is the big question. They didn't even provide funding a few years ago if I remember correctly, but they have certainly made a lot of changes to their program. I don't think they offer it to many, though. I hope we both hear good news as well! pelicano 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
viviandarkbloom Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 I asked CUNY about funding before I applied, and they told me all incoming students this year would get the same 25k stipend. (I haven't heard from them either, incidentally) pelicano 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shortstack51 Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 Oh great! That's great to know. They weren't offering funding to everyone last year. Crossing my fingers harder now... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shortstack51 Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 Sorry to those getting bad news it's making me quite anxious! At first I wanted an e-mail from the program today, but now I don't because so far there have only been rejections Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ozymandias Melancholia Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 Wait-listed at CUNY! No information as to the size or my placement on the list. I'll probably take myself off the wait-list. Hope that may help someone! cbttcher 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shortstack51 Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 (edited) I just got waitlisted as well! Hope you dropping off the list improves my chances! I know someone on the board already plans on declining. Edited February 18, 2014 by shortstack51 cbttcher 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cquin Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 Someone was accepted off the waitlist?! (So says the results board.) Do tell! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Postmoddities Posted February 21, 2014 Share Posted February 21, 2014 I just wish I knew what my place on the waitlist is. As someone already mentioned, in the email they said they made a total of 39 offers and they fund 21 people so... that's a pretty long wait list, no? I hope I'm not like number 20 or something yikes. But at the same time I'm stoked so six one half-dozen the other I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rougarou Posted February 21, 2014 Share Posted February 21, 2014 Hi guys, I am considering an offer from CUNY for French and I was wanted to ask you guys in general how CUNY is perceived by others. For example, to you guys, why would you be interested in going there ? I know its a different field, but it's still literature and there's some overlap (lit. theory, etc.) Thanks !

shortstack51 Posted February 21, 2014 Share Posted February 21, 2014 CUNY is pretty highly respected. I've been told that in terms of placement, you have a guaranteed placement in the city for a job if you want to be a professor. I would be interested in attending because it has a good financial package, is well respected, and is in the heart of NYC. It's part of the NYC consortium, so if you are a PhD student there, you can also take classes at NYU, Columbia, and Fordham (and maybe another school I'm forgetting) each semester. Also, the ny public library is great and their main branch isn't far from CUNY (actually, CUNY grad is pretty centrally located to lots of cool stuff being that it's on fifth ave). And, if the idea of living in the city appeals to you at all, there's that. Hard to beat NYC's diversity, culture, and vibrancy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cordis Posted February 21, 2014 Author Share Posted February 21, 2014 I don't know about French but the faculty in English are completely amazing. The courses are fabulous and it's pretty awesome to think that you can go to all of those other NYC schools as part of the consortium...now that they have funding it's pretty appealing--they have a 1-1 teaching load after the first year (research in the first year). But...I am waitlisted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shortstack51 Posted February 21, 2014 Share Posted February 21, 2014 Same. Wait list blues Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BijouxMcguffin Posted February 27, 2014 Share Posted February 27, 2014 I was accepted, but I will likely turn down the offer. I'm visiting NY in a week and a half, but I won't turn down the offer before then, nor will I turn it down long after, either. Wait patiently.
