kurayamino Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 I had a friend admitted to michigan for comp lit. She received a phone call Saturday night, so I can confirm that those acceptances are rolling out. Keeping fingers crossed for all who applied there!

Katla Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 I'm the emory rejectee -- unofficial -- emailed DGS and he kindly told me my status (unofficially). just letting you guys know I'm sorry about this! Hopefully you get some great news soon! In other news LinkedIn has sent me three emails this morning all pitching job openings. Maybe the universe is trying to tell me something... Or maybe the sudden activity created by adcomm people checking your profile is making them think that everybody is interested in a candidate like you!

t1racyjacks Posted February 3, 2015 Share Posted February 3, 2015 I'm hoping for the best now. ugh, I'm afraid my health is going. I'm skiving at work, but I don't feel quite well. I lost lunch :unsure: I'm not sure if I can eat dinner. I need a kitten pile. I wish they would just hurry up though with the rest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

t1racyjacks Posted February 3, 2015 Share Posted February 3, 2015 this is silly. I'm now getting to the 'no sleep' point along with 'no food staying down'. it's because it's feb and I'm like checking my email every 30 seconds, esp at night (it's day in the USA now but we are 13 hours ahead of east coast) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is there something you could do or someone you could hang out with that would temporarily get your mind off of all this? Yes, I'm still in the office, and was there until 5 AM yesterday (or today, i should say) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

harakiri Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 (edited) I know, me too... It is quite literally soul-draining... me too, I feel you...I am waiting for those official rejections (especially for NYU, which seems like an implied/official rejection at this point/for a while now), I am not very keen on being left hanging.. I have major hate for those universities that don't send out their rejections at the same time as their admissions, it's just pernicious.

It messes with your emotions on such a level there are no words for it. I actually applied to NYU last time around as well and as I recall they didn't send out rejections until very late in March. I'm also guessing I have quite a few other implied rejections among my applications by now though at least some of them seem to have an occasional waitlist notification.

youngcharlie101 Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 Hey, guys. I have 7 schools in total, but I only heard back from Columbia. I got rejected. Should I be worried that I haven't heard back from the others? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Katla Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 Hey, guys. I have 7 schools in total, but I only heard back from Columbia. I got rejected. Should I be worried that I haven't heard back from the others? I applied to ten and so far have only had decisions from two, and have had post application contact with a third. It's hard to say whether you should worry or not, there hasn't been an awful lot of information about Comp Lit acceptances this year so it's difficult to say whether the school simply hasn't sent out notifications yet or whether the admitted students simply aren't on GradCafe. Personally though,I'm currently writing off six of my programmes as implied rejections because the result board show at least one acceptance/show that people in previous years have been accepted in late Jan to early Feb. However, judging from the result board people are sometimes waitlisted a lot later in the season and sometimes get in, so it's difficult to say anything. Basically, maybe steel yourself against bad news but remember that there really is no saying. It's not over until you hear anything official from the universities and it is still early in the season. Anything can happen! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
