descendingblue Posted February 10, 2015 Posted February 10, 2015 OMG Congratulations!!! What program? The Lit PhD -- assuming I don't get a follow-up email in a little bit being like "oops, we sent this out to everyone, you are totally not accepted." Although the result search is back up (finally!!) and it looks like other people got notified in the same way, and that this is how Brown does it...so I'll settle down with my impostor syndrome for now.

Comp Lit or English, if you don't mind my asking?
Dr. Old Bill Posted February 10, 2015 Posted February 10, 2015 Yes, congrats to those Brown admits, and any others I may have missed! Definitely a big Tuesday for many folks so far.
kurayamino Posted February 10, 2015 Posted February 10, 2015 Congrats to the Brown admits!! I'm one of the cuny wait lists, but I'll most likely be removing myself from the list.
allplaideverything Posted February 10, 2015 Posted February 10, 2015 Congrats to all the new admits! Big day!! Has anybody been accepted to CUNY yet? Or only waitlists (as far as we know)?
windrainfireandbooks Posted February 10, 2015 Posted February 10, 2015 Congrats to all of the Brown admit! And congrats to the CUNY waitlists! Such exciting news!
madamepsychosis Posted February 10, 2015 Posted February 10, 2015 Huge congrats to everybody! I hate to be this person but can I ask - any other U Chicago applicants who weren't waitlisted or contacted for an interview? Are you presuming rejection?
InHacSpeVivo Posted February 10, 2015 Posted February 10, 2015 Huge congrats to everybody! I hate to be this person but can I ask - any other U Chicago applicants who weren't waitlisted or contacted for an interview? Are you presuming rejection? I didn't apply this cycle, but I was rejected from Chicago during the 2013 cycle. FWIW, that year that sent out rejections way after admits and WLs.
omensetter Posted February 10, 2015 Posted February 10, 2015 Major congratulations to the Brown admits, and to everyone else who's heard good news in the past few days! madamepsychosis, fwiw I had an interview with Chicago and have heard nothing since so am assuming rejection.
margeryhemp Posted February 10, 2015 Posted February 10, 2015 Huge congrats to everybody! I hate to be this person but can I ask - any other U Chicago applicants who weren't waitlisted or contacted for an interview? Are you presuming rejection? Yep! Assuming a rejection since it's been so long with no news. Congrats to all the admits today!!
jhefflol Posted February 11, 2015 Posted February 11, 2015 (edited) Another early modernist from my program was accepted to UCI. While he deserves the acceptance entirely, I will admit I'm a little selfishly bummed by the news while also excited for him. Here's hoping for a waitlist! ETA: Completely posted this in the wrong place. Whoops!! Edited February 11, 2015 by jhefflol
bgt28 Posted February 11, 2015 Posted February 11, 2015 There's a Brown MCM admit on the results. YES. Finally we're moving along.
bgt28 Posted February 11, 2015 Posted February 11, 2015 Assuming, of course, that there is not any trolling going on...
SilasWegg Posted February 11, 2015 Posted February 11, 2015 I'm gonna read brown as an implied rejection but hold out hope for a few more CUNY admits.
bgt28 Posted February 11, 2015 Posted February 11, 2015 I'm gonna read brown as an implied rejection but hold out hope for a few more CUNY admits. I just want us all to feel safe and happy and loved. This is such a brutal process, I could cry. kurayamino, ilnomedellarosa and SilasWegg 3
youngcharlie101 Posted February 11, 2015 Posted February 11, 2015 I just want us all to feel safe and happy and loved. This is such a brutal process, I could cry. I second that. I think this is more severe than childbirth. TeaOverCoffee 1
ProfLorax Posted February 11, 2015 Posted February 11, 2015 I second that. I think this is more severe than childbirth. Hahahahahahahaha. xolo, dazedandbemused, Dr. Old Bill and 2 others 5
hreaðemus Posted February 11, 2015 Author Posted February 11, 2015 I second that. I think this is more severe than childbirth. Hahahahahahahaha. OMG this exchange made me burst out laughing in the library... More seriously, I send those of you still stuck in limbo ALL the hugs. I would send you cookies if I had an address. Academia hurts because it is a vocation as well as a profession: we're in the business of using our heads, but our hearts are what got us here. (I mean, really - no head would be so idealistic on its own!) Just remember that your heads AND your hearts are more than who is willing to pay for them - and be good to yourselves as the wait drags on. I'm really rooting for you! ilnomedellarosa, jean-luc-gohard, Page228 and 2 others 5
SilasWegg Posted February 11, 2015 Posted February 11, 2015 I'm writing a thesis chapter on "Bartleby" right now and I can't help but wish I was more like him. I really would "prefer not to" care about if I get in, where I get in, stipends, POIs, adcomms... but like the story's narrator, I am confounded by my own inability to withdraw from the conundrum. "Ah Bartleby! Ah humanity!" __________________________ 1
sillyrabbit Posted February 11, 2015 Posted February 11, 2015 Congratulations to all the Brown admits!
Radcafe Posted February 11, 2015 Posted February 11, 2015 Congrats to those admitted! And hugs to those who are stressed out! Passion for the profession will ensure a happy ending for you beautiful people! It's not over yet! I took a gap year this year after not getting in any (funded) programs, and it was sucky, but I'm having an awesome year and am learning a ton about literature while training as a competitive ballroom dancer. So there's always that.
