JessicaLange Posted January 12, 2017 Posted January 12, 2017 Hi, so I received an Acceptance email on Tuesday. I actually didn't want to open it, because the email just said Admission Decision. Very ominous. But I figured I would open it and then go to whateber online portal later and, to my surprise, it said Congratulations! It's DePaul University. It's the only MA program I applied to so it's kind of Plan B, but I really like the program, so as far as backup plans go, it's definitely one I'm happy about. And it's so much pressure off of me to know that I can get 8 rejections and still be going somewhere in the fall. Feel free to post your acceptances here. And maybe Rejections and Waitlists as well if you feel comfortable with that (unless you want to start a separate thread). angel_kaye13, Scarlet A+, ProfessionalNerd and 12 others 15
othersamantha Posted January 12, 2017 Posted January 12, 2017 @JessicaLange Congratulations!! Hopefully the first of many! JessicaLange 1
Dr. Old Bill Posted January 12, 2017 Posted January 12, 2017 HUZZAH!!! Way to go, @JessicaLange! This is huge news, and you've officially kicked off acceptance season here at GC! For now, you're going to have a rapt audience of graduate hopefuls living vicariously through you. Well done, and congratulations!! therisingpage and klader 2
Kilos Posted January 12, 2017 Posted January 12, 2017 Congrats! I've got a ways to go before I hear back from any of my English/Lit programs. Blargh.
Dr. Old Bill Posted January 13, 2017 Posted January 13, 2017 So now I'm intensely curious: anyone care to claim the Michigan State acceptance posted today?
AnimeChic101! Posted January 13, 2017 Posted January 13, 2017 Hey all, I'll be peacing out for the rest of the admissions process. Trying to keep sane. Good luck and congrats to those of you who will be getting in!! FeetInTheSky 1

KikiDelivery Posted January 13, 2017 Posted January 13, 2017 Yes! I'm also curious if that means MSU has sent its first wave of acceptances.

Srutartha Posted January 13, 2017 Posted January 13, 2017 Anybody applying to ohio state univ? I really want to get into TOSU. However, I got admits in michigan tech and NJIT. Both were by backups. Congratulations @JessicaLange

Hurrah! Way to go, ProfessionalNerd! What's your area? I've visited Buffalo a large number of times, and know the city fairly well -- just PM me if you want any tips / general impressions etc.

biyutefulphlower Posted January 13, 2017 Posted January 13, 2017 @tvethiopia - I just died laughing at work thanks to the Kermit gif - so, so perfect.

A friend of mine who teaches history did her PhD there, and she was sharing her alumni newsletter with me last night and I freaked out because someone I mentioned I wanted to work with had a short article in it and it was super relevant to my research interests. Now I don't know if I'm going to make it to next week without actually exploding or crying or wearing my applications folder as a hat while running screaming down the street...

hmss9245 Posted January 14, 2017 Posted January 14, 2017 Just curious-- is OSU sending out"English" and "literature" decision letters the same or similar time? Seems the results for literature will be out next week…I've applied for their English program with the ddl of 30 Nov… anxious to know when the results are out ><
Yanaka Posted January 14, 2017 Posted January 14, 2017 17 hours ago, Warelin said: OSU is rather impressive in how fast and transparent they are in the process. The Academic Program Coordinator told me they accept 30 students out of 250-300 for 18-20 spots. Their goal is to have an even mix of BA and MA-holders. Last year's cohort had 15 members. Now I feel like I should have given it a shot! But wasn't that interested in living there... Good luck to us all!
tvethiopia Posted January 14, 2017 Posted January 14, 2017 there's a university of georgia acceptance up! congratulations to whoever got it!
klader Posted January 14, 2017 Posted January 14, 2017 The people in my program who applied to Michigan State's WRAC program (PhD) already received their acceptances/rejections. Hope that helps somebody! And good luck to everyone!
tanooki Posted January 14, 2017 Posted January 14, 2017 Congratulations @JessicaLange A subject line that just says "admissions decision" is a total nightmare. Who do these people think they are tvethiopia 1
