InHacSpeVivo Posted March 5, 2015 Posted March 5, 2015 Second on the WL at Mississippi. Good news from my perspective, but it would be great to have something solid before I need to notify the other school with the early deadline! CarolineNC, Katla and 1Q84 3
CarolineNC Posted March 5, 2015 Posted March 5, 2015 Second on the WL at Mississippi. Good news from my perspective, but it would be great to have something solid before I need to notify the other school with the early deadline! Yay! Congrats! Is Mississippi one you really like?
InHacSpeVivo Posted March 5, 2015 Posted March 5, 2015 (edited) Thanks, Caroline! Discounting implied/actual rejections, Mississippi is definitely up there on my list. My personal "first tier" programs are primarily those I have yet to hear from, but I sent out e-mails to most of the schools today (given that I have the looming March 13 deadline for one of my offers) so hopefully those will all shake out soon enough.

fauxlita Posted March 5, 2015 Posted March 5, 2015 Hi, everyone! I've been waitlisted at SUNY Buffalo for their PhD program. This is my top choice, and fingers are definitely crossed. Katla, allplaideverything and CarolineNC 3
squankabonk Posted March 5, 2015 Posted March 5, 2015 (given that I have the looming March 13 deadline for one of my offers) I'm so bummed about this bs, arbitrary deadline. Hope one of your top choices comes through!
allplaideverything Posted March 5, 2015 Posted March 5, 2015 Holy Holy, I got into USC's creative/critical PhD off the waitlist today. They only accept 3 poets and have stellar funding, so this is a surprise on top of a season of surprises, for me. Waitlisters DO get accepted! My fingers are crossed for everybody! squankabonk, silenus_thescribe, margeryhemp and 5 others 8
Appppplication Posted March 5, 2015 Posted March 5, 2015 Wow Congrats!!! Which way are you leaning? Towards the creative side or towards the Lit depts?
allplaideverything Posted March 5, 2015 Posted March 5, 2015 Well, USC's is the only creative program I applied to for a few reasons. I already have the MFA, and I'm serious about making the transition to the scholarly side. But USC considers themselves a dual program. I need to visit & learn more, I guess. Still, blown away and so thankful.
InHacSpeVivo Posted March 5, 2015 Posted March 5, 2015 Congrats faux and allplaid! Getting off the waitlist at such an awesome program is especially exciting (and it gives us other waitlisters hope)!I'm so bummed about this bs, arbitrary deadline. Hope one of your top choices comes through! Thanks much for this; it really is troublesome (and honestly making me rethink the program). The schools I've reached out to have been fantastic about it though, with one DGS even offering to reach out to the program and make them aware of the April 15 compact. Also, I got a weird email that indicates I'm on a quasi UMD waitlist. It's very unofficial/unlikely to pan out, so I'm not going to post it on the results board, but I figured I'd share since I'm altering my signature and was posting in this forum anyway.
Katla Posted March 5, 2015 Posted March 5, 2015 Wow, congratulations allpaid! It's wonderful to hear that there it is possible to transition from the waitlist limbo! InHacSpe, I'm rooting so hard for you! It must be so frustrating to have that early deadline looming over you! But good to hear that the other unis are so understanding! And congrats on the waitlists (both the real one and the quasi one) Also congrats to you fauxlita, keeping my fingers crossed! InHacSpeVivo 1
kurayamino Posted March 5, 2015 Posted March 5, 2015 Congratulations to the newly waitlisted *Fingers crossed for you!!* and to allplaid for making it into a great program from the waitlist!

soundofworm Posted March 6, 2015 Posted March 6, 2015 Wow, haven't heard anything this week. What's going on?
InHacSpeVivo Posted March 6, 2015 Posted March 6, 2015 Wow, haven't heard anything this week. What's going on? Apparently lulls are pretty common. I just went literally two weeks between official notifications!
1Q84 Posted March 8, 2015 Author Posted March 8, 2015 Apparently lulls are pretty common. I just went literally two weeks between official notifications! I gather a majority of campus visits are taking place this week so I'm really hoping folks will have a good sense of where they don't want to go and notify them by next week.

fauxlita Posted March 8, 2015 Posted March 8, 2015 Found out that I'm at the top of the wait list at Buffalo, so I'm hoping for word soon. Very excited. During this lull, I'm surviving by watching Angel and reading Buffy Season 8. Huzzah! softcastlemccormick 1
postwarfever Posted March 9, 2015 Posted March 9, 2015 Wait-listed at University of Illinois - Champaign. I had already written them off as an "implied," so that was a pleasant surprise.

InHacSpeVivo Posted March 12, 2015 Posted March 12, 2015 Congrats TOC and postwar! What fantastic programs!
lo.lee.ta Posted March 12, 2015 Posted March 12, 2015 To AsKingfishersCatchFire, softcastlemccormick, and anyone else on the UW-Madison waitlist: I just declined Madison's offer--I'm in 20/21 C lit & theory. Good luck to all of you! softcastlemccormick 1
LCB Posted March 12, 2015 Posted March 12, 2015 Waitlisted at Illinois Urbana-Champaign too! Cheers to those also waiting on them.
greenmt Posted March 12, 2015 Posted March 12, 2015 Tick tock. I went looking for stock footage that would show time passing - calendar pages falling away, etc. - but found this, which is much better. kurayamino 1
