pannpann Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 (edited) Got an acceptance to UVM. Waitlisted for funding. Applying to MAs was my backup, so not getting funding has left a crushing anxiety on my chest. (I want to make a Giles Corey joke here.) After five rejections, I'm more devastated by the terms of this acceptance. Edit: Sorry for the melodrama, I know I should feel more grateful.

zanmato4794 Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 Looking at the results boards, I'm proud that I haven't seen the brattiness in posts of English rejections that I see in some of the other fields. Sheeesh! Entitlement! angel_kaye13, squankabonk and Kathy Song 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1Q84 Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 (edited) I have been placed on wait list at U Toronto! Edit for a little more info: The Department of English Graduate Admissions Committee at the University of Toronto has read your application materials with much interest and enthusiasm. Thank you for your interest in the PhD program. I’m very sorry to say that we are not at this time able to offer you a space in the PhD program: competition was especially intense this year, with over 125 applicants for 18 spaces. However, we have placed you on a waiting list for a space, which would come with a five year package of combined fellowship and Teaching Assistantship. I will be in touch with you around April 6th, perhaps sooner, to update you on your status.

Lycidas Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 I have been placed on wait list at U Toronto! Edit for a little more info: Congratulations! April 6th is at least a bit better than some schools "We'll tell you at 11:45pm on April 14th if you got in or not" policies Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
margeryhemp Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 I have been placed on wait list at U Toronto! Edit for a little more info: Congratulations!!!

windrainfireandbooks Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 Congrats to all new admits and waitlists!

Katla Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 Congratulations on UW Madison, Brandeis and U of Toronto you guys!!! 1Q84 I'll keep my fingers crossed that you'll get off the waitlist! tacitmonument and eachevery 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1Q84 Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 (edited) Thanks, all Congrats to windrainfireandbooks on the full admittance and awesome fellowship! (Frankly, I'm a little torn about UT anyway... not sure how I feel about returning to the land of ice and snow...)

lo.lee.ta Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 (edited) Congrats to all of the recent admits and waitlisters! (I'm on the mobile site, so can't upvote any of your posts, otherwise I would!) I just found out that I got into U of Toronto also, although I will probably decline their offer soon, so that'll mean good news for someone on the waitlist! (I do 20/21C lit and theory--feel free to PM me if you want more info.) That was the last program I was waiting to hear from, so now it's really decision time. Good luck to everyone still waiting on schools! Edited February 26, 2015 by lo.lee.ta windrainfireandbooks 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
staggerlee Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 Is anyone who's been accepted to UNC-Chapel Hill (English PhD) considering possibly turning it down for another offer? I'm on the waitlist and incredibly anxious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarolineNC Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 (edited) Uhhh ditto what Staggerlee said. I emailed them yesterday and apparently I'm "very high on the waitlist" whatever that means. They also asked for a list of schools I've been accepted to, and I don't know if that's a good or a bad thing. Also, I just got accepted to the University of Oregon's PhD program. Tempting, since one of my best friends lives in Eugene, but I doubt I'll accept.

Did UNC happen to tell you how long the wait list is and/or how many admission spots aren't officially filled? It's my top choice program and I'm waiting with bated breath.

Nope She said she couldn't give me anything else. They're trying to keep us in suspense I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
allplaideverything Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 Dude, Caroline, Oregon!! Congrats!! I talked to Lara, the DGS at Oregon, last night, and it sounds like she has made two thirds of the calls, and I don't think there will be a waitlist. She didn't give me a time line, but I suspect she'll finish making calls this weekend. CarolineNC 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
