If anyone has a particularly positive or negative story/anecdote/blatantly unsourced rumor to share about LSU, I'm all ears. Congrats to all getting good news this week, or next. At last year's C's, LSU hosted a party in their hotel suite, and I was invited just because I happened to to meet some LSU students at a panel that I attended. They had king cake and everything. They seem like a really friendly bunch, but I remember that they were worried about the recent decisions by LSU's administration and the increasing lack of funding given to the humanities.

I was at that party! There were beads. This year's was in a hotel room as well, but was too crowded so I skipped out to the Fountainhead Party at House of Blues.

Everyone there is remarkably lovely and the program has a lot of strengths; I'd really recommend taking them up on the offer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Congrats on the admission! (If I thought I had a chance at any top 10/20 programs, that is the one I would have gone for -- I love their faculty (just judging from the outside)).

EmmaJava Posted April 14, 2016 Share Posted April 14, 2016 Hi everyone, thanks for all the congratulatory comments! @redjacobin, thanks so much for your decline, talk about a windfall for me. Crazy how the dominoes fall, isn't it? Well, that's it for me - I am committing to UVa and what can I say, it's been a wild ride. I'll let Purdue, DU and Mizzou know that they can remove me from their lists, if that is helpful to anyone. I sure hope so. I'm likely to sign off for some time only because my relationship with social media is kinda love-hate, but I have appreciated all the trench-like camaraderie and support and humor and you name it. Good luck to all, sincerely. BooksCoffeeBeards, lesabendio, Tybalt and 5 others 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThePandaBard Posted April 15, 2016 Share Posted April 15, 2016 Moved from UCR's wait list into the rejection pile. They had all of their spots fill up this morning so I don't think they're even going to the wait list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mattie Roh Posted April 15, 2016 Share Posted April 15, 2016 Just took my name off the wait list at Minnesota (first in my subfield, 18th/19th century). I think I just died a little inside, but I had to pull the trigger sometime. Everything happens for a reason. Will be attending UConn in the fall. Hope this opens the way for someone else! hello_kitty 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
