Has Chicago come out with all of its results?

[Scottstein]

Can I assume "implied rejection" from the University of Chicago--English PhD program??

[Dr. Old Bill]

Not sure this needed its own thread, really...

 

Also not sure anyone can say definitively, I'm afraid. It's probably safe to assume so, but who knows?

Visit weekend is this weekend. not sure how conclusive that is, though.

If you weren't invited to an interview, I think it's safe to assume an implicit rejection. Other than that, I don't know. The DGS would actually be a really great person to ask.

thanks..i knew it was a redundant thing to ask but i had a last bit of hope

More intel from my end:

 

I was told I'm being moved to MA consideration (I applied for a PhD). This was on the 24th of Feb. Followed by a slew of emails why an MA from Chicago is a good idea.

Yep. They're really selling that MA hard, and before they've even made any decisions! It's pretty off-putting.

Yeah, as fine an institution as this is, close to 50k for a one year MA is a pretty insane proposition. That's not to say the quality of the education is bad -- far from it, I have major respect for U of C -- but man, is that rough.
