Appppplication Posted February 22, 2015 Posted February 22, 2015 Since we are all making decisions now, it's time to share them with everyone! I thought it would be neat to see all the final decisions in one thread. So.....What university and program will you be attending for Fall 2015?
Dr. Old Bill Posted February 22, 2015 Posted February 22, 2015 Barring any highly unexpected Ph.D. offers, I'll be attending the M.A. program in English at University of Maryland. Despite my early equivocation, I'm really quite happy about it, too! slightlymoreanonymous, lyonessrampant, lunalit and 3 others 6
CarolineNC Posted February 22, 2015 Posted February 22, 2015 Probably UT Austin's PhD Lit program, unless I am accepted off the waitlist at Chapel Hill and then I'll have a tough decision. I'm not really considering any schools I have not yet heard from. silenus_thescribe and lunalit 2
silenus_thescribe Posted February 22, 2015 Posted February 22, 2015 Still waiting on two potential offers that could challenge my offer at UT-Austin, but from the look of it they're both implied rejections at this point. There are also about five other universities I haven't heard back from, but none of them are as strong a match for my interests. I really lucked out with UT accepting me, as it's objectively the uni that correlates most closely with my intended research. Couldn't be happier.
NotSpyderman Posted February 24, 2015 Posted February 24, 2015 Barring something unexpected, English PhD at UC Davis for me. KGB 1
KGB Posted February 24, 2015 Posted February 24, 2015 Barring something unexpected, English PhD at UC Davis for me. Same here most likely. Are you attending the admit weekend?
onlycoffeeiscertain Posted February 24, 2015 Posted February 24, 2015 Unless something crazy happens, I will be at Purdue in the Fall to start their English PhD program. ComeBackZinc and angel_kaye13 2
InHacSpeVivo Posted February 24, 2015 Posted February 24, 2015 There's a Google doc floating around from the 2012-2013 app cycle of where frequent posters ended up. That could be useful this year too, certainly for those people willing to share information about their respective programs with future GCers.
Appppplication Posted March 5, 2015 Author Posted March 5, 2015 do you think most people will make decisions long before the April 15th deadline?
angel_kaye13 Posted March 5, 2015 Posted March 5, 2015 University of South Carolina's MA for English, for me.~^^ {excited} *^^*
CarolineNC Posted March 5, 2015 Posted March 5, 2015 (edited) University of South Carolina's MA for English, for me.~^^ {excited} *^^* Yay! University of SC is the best!! What's your area? Who do you want to work with? Edited March 5, 2015 by CarolineKS
angel_kaye13 Posted March 5, 2015 Posted March 5, 2015 Yay! University of SC is the best!! What's your area? Who do you want to work with? Old English is my hope! I'd really love to work with Dr. Gwara, of course, assuming he is even TAKING on any students/has the time. His work is directly in-line with where I hope to go, and so - of course - that's the reason I pursued USC. But I'm also considering Dr. Crocker, whose studies are also in that arena. It's all contingent upon availability, at this point, but I'm going in hopeful and fingers crossed! Are you familiar with USC, then? And, assuming that, how so??
CarolineNC Posted March 5, 2015 Posted March 5, 2015 I did my undergrad there. Holly Crocker is super nice. She was actually in one of my French classes. I don't know Dr. Gwara. angel_kaye13 1
jmol Posted March 7, 2015 Posted March 7, 2015 University of South Carolina's MA for English, for me.~^^ {excited} *^^* I did my undergrad at USC. It is a really fun school. Dr. Gwara was one of my professors. He had at least one grad student under him when I had his class, so I'm sure you have a chance! PM me if you have any questions about the school! Also, I will be attending UNC-Wilmington for my MA. angel_kaye13 1
