Childermass Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 I had entirely given up on this season. I had so given up that I ALREADY SIGNED UP FOR THE APRIL SUBJECT TEST. And here today a UCSB acceptance lands in my email. I'm so happy and so relieved. I was considering quitting academia! What nonsense! Congrats to a fellow UCSB admit!! Hope to see you in March at the open house. Also – Did I just see the first Stanford rejection? Or am I hallucinating? Anyone else get word from them? I haven't seen anything yet.

I haven't heard anything from English lit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gnossienne Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 (edited) Also – Did I just see the first Stanford rejection? Or am I hallucinating? Anyone else get word from them? I haven't seen anything yet. The rejection was for the modern thought program there, so if you applied for plain ol' English, then don't throw your towel in yet! Also congrats to all the recent acceptances! edited to add: zanmato, silenus, and anyone else I missed!

InHacSpeVivo Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 Congrats recent admits! Got an e-mail from UNC Greensboro this afternoon, but there won't be detailed information (funding, I assume?) for another few days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fordham, in my opinion, is an extremely underrated program. You're clearly pinning down the NY/Cali markets!

silenus_thescribe Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 (edited) Just got an email from the DGS at Miami of Ohio... fully funded MA offer! Since I already have a PhD offer, I probably won't be taking this, but still a very nice notice on this freezing afternoon.

silenus_thescribe Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 Just noticed that I switched my verbal and quantitative scores on the results posting board. Rest assured that I did not skate by with a 146 verbal on the GRE... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dazedandbemused Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 Howdy folks! New GradCafe member here. Throughout the application process I popped in and out of here without ever making a profile, and got some helpful advice. (Making a separate email for grad apps=genius.) You're all very helpful, which is much needed in a stressed-out first time applicant, so a big thanks to everyone on this site. Fortunately, my stress has been substantially mitigated by my first acceptance, to the University of Texas at Austin. This was very high on my list, and basically a dead ringer for research interests. (Perhaps fittingly, this was the one app that, upon finishing it, I felt truly confident and comfortable with.) This acceptance came after rejections from Cornell (my #1) and Columbia (predictable, but sad). Just got rejected from Pittsburgh yesterday. Truth be told I found it best at first to avoid Grad Cafe, as looking through acceptances only added to my stress. Now, however, I feel much more comfortable chiming in here given that I know at the very least (in fact, most likely) I'll be at UT in the fall. This goes without saying, of course, but major props to all of the acceptances so far! Congrats on UT! If you, or anyone else, has questions about it here, feel free to PM me.

That's a huge acceptance -- absolutely huge. Don't play it down at all...you should be VERY proud. Hell I'M very proud FOR you! Good luck with the other apps, but knowing you've got Brandeis nailed down should be a huge boon to you moving forward. emily.rose 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is my first acceptance, so I am currently in the process of calling all my friends and family No such thing as "small cheese" when it comes to English graduate study, especially when there's a fellowship/funding involved. Congrats! Waiting to hear back on their PhD. Their deadline was a later one, though, so I'm not expecting anything until start of March, probably. Speaking of, did anyone notice that Rochester let in some admits at the start of February? Their deadline was 15 January. That's crazy turnaround.
