Carnegie Mellon (English OR History) & Wayne State (English). Also Resubmitted App Question.

[StillWaitingInBoston]

Hi,

 

Has anyone heard back from Carnegie Mellon in the humanities yet? I'm waiting on the English PhD and my boyfriend is waiting on his resubmitted History PhD app (he was accepted and then deferred for a couple of years, in which time the department began full funding, so they offered to resubmit his app automatically.) It says their notifications are handled exclusively by the individual departments, so there are no projected dates, but neither of us have heard from our respective departments, which seems odd this late in the season. 

 

Also, anyone know how the once-deferred-now-funded-resubmitted app affects his chances this time around? It's hard to tell if this is a formality, as they kind of recruited him last time, or if the funding has really changed the program's selectiveness that much.

 

 

Also, anyone hear from Wayne State in Detroit? They were my super-safety school, and I'm a little perturbed not to have heard yet.
