Katla Posted January 25, 2015 Posted January 25, 2015 Every week I've said this, but, I think we should start hearing something this week! I'm keeping my fingers crossed this is the week when you're right...
PistonPython Posted January 26, 2015 Posted January 26, 2015 Hey guys this is actually my first post here. I've been a huge creeper but I figured it was time to come out of the woodwork. Just in case any of you applied to UT Austin's Comp Lit program, their acceptances are out! Check your emails! Good luck!
Appppplication Posted January 26, 2015 Posted January 26, 2015 Nice to meet you! I applied mostly to UC's and west coast schools. I've heard nothing yet. Congrats to UT Austin admits!
nuclearves Posted January 27, 2015 Posted January 27, 2015 I checked my status on UT-Austin and it says that my application is "in review."
SubmarineReflection Posted January 27, 2015 Posted January 27, 2015 Hey everyone, hopping on this thread right now. Comp Lit applicant and haven't heard from a single school yet. The wait is unbearable. iwontbelyeveit 1
t1racyjacks Posted January 27, 2015 Posted January 27, 2015 Hey everyone, hopping on this thread right now. Comp Lit applicant and haven't heard from a single school yet. The wait is unbearable. you're telling me. I'm just wasting my time here and I am carrying my sedatives everywhere I go. Even then it's hard to sleep. When it's hard to sleep sedated you know there's a problem. I got 3 British acceptances but I'm scared about funding...........

When it's hard to sleep sedated you know there's a problem. I got 3 British acceptances but I'm scared about funding........... Hey, congrats on those-- at least you've heard from somewhere! But yeah, it's frustrating. And I'm terrified I won't get in anywhere, because I haven't exactly made any backup plans.... Hang in there!

I'm pretty sure something is wrong.
SubmarineReflection Posted January 27, 2015 Posted January 27, 2015 well best of luck >_< I haven't even begun sedating and I'm already spaced out. I'm pretty sure something is wrong. I feel the same way... spacing out in the office right now. Thank you! Also, if you're in Singapore, we must be on a similar timezone!

Also, if you're in Singapore, we must be on a similar timezone! we are!! whacha working on? I think that the American system is designed to turn everyone into gibbering neurotics. Even if one wasn't like that to begin with. Perhaps it's one of those 'it's a fine line between insanity and genius' notions at work. So if they drive all of us very near insanity, some of us will turn into geniuses

And I agree wholeheartedly! The one thing I'll say is good about the American system is that it's not so test-oriented. Well, that's good for me at least.

I'm jobless but feel too listless even to inebriate. Whee.
SubmarineReflection Posted January 27, 2015 Posted January 27, 2015 not so test oriented? what about the disgusting GREs? I'm jobless but feel too listless even to inebriate. Whee. Meh. The GREs are just part of the package. I don't think it makes or breaks your decision-- at least, that's what I keep telling myself. What about watching some embarrassingly awesome TV show? That's what I would be doing if I wasn't at work.

quena Posted January 27, 2015 Posted January 27, 2015 Ok comp lit folks, I finally cracked and emailed Berkeley asking about decisions. Was told that successful applicants would be notified early next week. My chance of getting in: 0.0000001 on scale of 10. Stress level: 100000000 on scale of 10.

Appppplication Posted January 27, 2015 Posted January 27, 2015 LOL. you never know. Now can you email USC and all the other UCs in complit for me and see what they say?
Katla Posted January 27, 2015 Posted January 27, 2015 LOL. you never know. Now can you email USC and all the other UCs in complit for me and see what they say? Maybe we should just divide all the unis between us and start harassing them for information?
Appppplication Posted January 27, 2015 Posted January 27, 2015 (edited) Yes! That would be hilarious! We should all email the programs we did NOT apply to! Edited January 27, 2015 by Appppplication Katla 1
quena Posted January 27, 2015 Posted January 27, 2015 Yes! That would be hilarious! We should all email the programs we did NOT apply to! I'm ready. Bring it on.
