punctilious Posted January 18, 2018 Posted January 18, 2018 Does anyone know whether Columbia interviews? I thought I read somewhere that they did, but I'm not sure.

Following past trends, interview requests will go out next week! Regimentations 1
LeeLeeCzechIrish Posted January 18, 2018 Posted January 18, 2018 Yes! Good luck to all! I still have a few weeks until I hear from any schools-but still deluding myself that it will be NOW-

The struggle is real!! LOL. The good news is I love my job. The bad news is no amount of passion for my job is going to stop me from doing this every day until this is all over. My boss walked into my office this morning as I was texting my husband and trying to test his Skype connection for his Maryland interview today. Thankfully, she's on board since she's a Terp. P.S. My hatred for PowerPoint has increased exponentially over the past couple days. I had to create ~35 pie graphs yesterday. That's just the pie charts. I also had to do stacked bar graphs with area charts. And maps. It hurts. But at least it all looks really pretty and the branding is on point!
Cotton Joe Posted January 18, 2018 Posted January 18, 2018 I'm looking at MA programs at: *Alabama: *Kentucky: Mississippi: Mid March *North Carolina State: Tennessee: Early Feb. *Any information on the empty ones? I'll do my own search and report what I find for anyone else looking at these schools, but I would also appreciate any info that anyone else has.

The great thing is that this will not be the last time you experience these sensations. I just finished submitting all of my fellowship applications for next year, as well as an article for publication, and it will require all of my willpower and more to be able to transition back to dissertation work and not just pointlessly check my e-mail for the next 4-6 weeks. Academia will always be keeping you in terrible suspense! My program's DGS just sent out the form asking who would like to help with new grad recruitment visits. Warelin's projected date is pretty much right on target for my program as far as my experience goes. My experience also tells me that my program, and many others, tend to accept on Fridays (in my program this is the day that committee meetings are generally held, as there are no graduate classes, and lends itself to committee members going for drinks afterward). It will be interesting to see if any of you fine folks come to visit. Edited January 18, 2018 by jrockford27
Volumnia'sEdge Posted January 18, 2018 Posted January 18, 2018 Hello Everyone, Got a call yesterday from the head of English Graduate Admissions at Notre Dame with an invitation to fly out (at their expense) for a "recruitment" weekend. Can't help but feel this is a good sign, yes? Narrative Nancy, M(allthevowels)H, Warelin and 5 others 8

The fact that you manage to do anything productive at all is awesome! I go in everyday thinking, "I'm gonna focus on work today and definitely not fall into the pit of obsessive forum-checking/email refreshing." And yet, here I am...
