Alex Stinson Posted March 16, 2014 Share Posted March 16, 2014 I just turned down Minnesota, so hopefully that means good news for someone on the waitlist. Which topic area are you? Apparantly they list people by period of study. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
semicolon2013 Posted March 16, 2014 Share Posted March 16, 2014 I did not attend the prospective student weekend. I am living abroad and was not able to visit any schools. My areas are literary theory and contemporary American literature. Best of luck to everyone waiting! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mattie Roh Posted March 26, 2014 Share Posted March 26, 2014 FWIW, I just found out that I've "moved up to number eight" on the wait list. This was relayed as happy news, but doesn't seem all that encouraging. Anyway, it's good to know and I'll probably stop holding my breath now. I did not ask if this was within a specific subfield, but I imagine so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mattie Roh Posted March 27, 2014 Share Posted March 27, 2014 I emailed Dr. Scheil (who had contacted me before) and explained that I only have a small window to visit the campus with my job situation and need to put in my requests soon. I basically asked for insight on the wait list to see if I should try to visit in April or May. I didn't ask for my rank, but she gave it to me.
