florentinoariza Posted February 14, 2015 Posted February 14, 2015 Probably you got the same email from the DGS that I just did, but in case they're sending it out piecemeal, it looks like their admit stuff is going to be the 18th-19th (W-Th) of March.... Thanks descendingblue, I just heard further and looks like that's right. I probably am not going to be able to make those days, because I'm across a big cold ocean from Brown in March. Let me know how it goes!
1Q84 Posted February 14, 2015 Posted February 14, 2015 Congrats to those lucky folks getting the Tufts admits!

Hannalore Posted February 14, 2015 Posted February 14, 2015 Welp, I'm on "high on the waitlist" for funding at GSU. The DGS told me to pretty much expect things to work out, so for the sake of my continuing sanity I'm going to assume this means I will be starting a program in the fall. I have no idea where news like this goes, so I apologize if I have chosen...poorly.
InHacSpeVivo Posted February 14, 2015 Posted February 14, 2015 Well played, Hannalore! JSYK, I told the DGS I would let him know ASAP. There are at least six programs that would cause me to drop the offer if they gave me funding, but one of them just needs to let me in!

May I ask the person you emailed, Hannalore? And In Hac? Edited February 14, 2015 by obrial42

CarolineNC Posted February 14, 2015 Posted February 14, 2015 I just talked to a friend who has a PhD from Ku, where I'm finishing my master's. She warned me that Davis (the school I'm leaning toward right now) is going to be a lot harder than Ku. What do you guys think of this statement? Should I be scared?

Personally, I hope it's harder. Shouldn't the PhD be, like, the hardest thing we've ever done? LCB and KGB 2

obrial42 Posted February 15, 2015 Posted February 15, 2015 Thanks, Hannalore and In Hac. I'll just let it go...
CarolineNC Posted February 15, 2015 Posted February 15, 2015 Got accepted to KU's PhD program today w/ a fellowship. I won't be accepting, so hopefully a waitlister will be made happy. (Has anyone applied to KU? I don't see it in anyone's signatures) Lycidas, Dr. Old Bill and allplaideverything 3
allplaideverything Posted February 15, 2015 Posted February 15, 2015 Caroline, congrats! I had to cut KU from my list, but I miss Kansas so much!
Lycidas Posted February 15, 2015 Posted February 15, 2015 Accepted at BU! This now means that over half my acceptances have come on a weekend. And here I thought I could relax and not check my phone obsessively on Saturdays and Sundays... lo.lee.ta, doc1 and Ramus 3
Dr. Old Bill Posted February 15, 2015 Posted February 15, 2015 Huzzah, Caroline and Lycidas! I have a friend who was truly crestfallen that I didn't apply to BU. She graduated from there many years ago, but has nothing but fantastic things to say about it.
InHacSpeVivo Posted February 15, 2015 Posted February 15, 2015 Congrats Caroline and Lycidas! This fines for any Boston admits, but as a six year resident (four of those in Boston proper), I'm happy to share any info via PM. It's funny, I was just saying correspondence is common in Saturdays, but I'm shocked by the number of Sunday notifications this year! And good luck to all the OSU fellow nominees! pannpann 1

(Has anyone applied to KU? I don't see it in anyone's signatures) I applied to Kansas but have heard nary a word! Though I am rhet/comp, which might not be the same field as you. And congratulations on your acceptance, CarolineKS! Edited February 16, 2015 by mmmscience
CarolineNC Posted February 16, 2015 Posted February 16, 2015 I applied to Kansas but have heard nary a word! Though I am rhet/comp, which might not be the same field as you. Nope, I'm lit. Good luck on the rhet/comp application. Our program for that is awesome (I'm at KU for an MA right now) and our rhet/comp faculty and students are the nicest in the whole department. mmmscience 1
mmmscience Posted February 16, 2015 Posted February 16, 2015 Okay I spoke a smidgen too soon. Just got off the phone with Kansas' DGS. Accepted with a fellowship! windrainfireandbooks 1

AsKingfishersCatchFire. Posted February 16, 2015 Posted February 16, 2015 (edited) Kansas decisions are dropping! Accepted with full-funding (MA) Hope others hear good news! Edited February 16, 2015 by AsKingfishersCatchFire. windrainfireandbooks 1
