Cymbeline is one of my absolute favorites!! Thank you! I adore Cymbeline. Imogen mostly, of course. Generally speaking, I suck at choosing handles/usernames/titles/etc. so it's good to know this one's not bad! Dr. Old Bill 1

I have a feeling that even if I get shut out this time around, I'll continue to stick around GC, akin to the old guy who sits in the corner of a bar, saying vaguely interesting things from time to time, but mainly becoming a part of the atmosphere... Or perhaps more like Old Bill from Westworld, the "host" who would have been impressive in his own time, but now just looks like a primitive, creaky android...

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... Are you applying with an MA or BA?

Well, good. Thanks. Also, as a terrified first-gen with little-to-no help and guidance aside from my mentors, GC has been one of the best things for my sanity, so I can't say that sticking around (regardless of outcome) would be a bad thing for anyone. Side note: a good friend of mine (applying from UG at my current uni) just heard from Oxford's MST (I think something to do with comp lit, too?) program. She got in. So maybe English acceptances from there will be rolling in soon?

Yes, I also applied for the PhD and I'm still "pending." I think we'll probably hear something by Wednesday! Good luck, I hope we both get in!
anon4now Posted January 23, 2017 Posted January 23, 2017 (edited) Congrats to the person who received an acceptance to the University of Wisconsin-Madison! Edited January 23, 2017 by PoeticsofPossibility
imogenshakes Posted January 23, 2017 Posted January 23, 2017 I GOT INTO MADISON!!!!! I just spent 20 minutes sobbing into my hubby's shirt. I'm kind of in disbelief. Had written off the option because I messed up the formatting of my writing sample, so I guess this means that those things don't matter too much. I'm so excited! Hoping all of you who applied to OSU hear back soon! Narrative Nancy, RydraWong, biyutefulphlower and 6 others 9

Guest tarsila89 Posted January 23, 2017 Posted January 23, 2017 @JessicaLange Hi Jessica, congratulations! I laughed reading your post because I got the exact same ominous email saying "a decision has been made" and a link, but mine from UC Davis. It was 5:55AM, I couldn't sleep so I was waiting on a bus stop to go the gym when the email came. I had to tell the bus driver the good news because no one else I knew was awake haha. Anyone else here applied to UC Davis? It was sort of my backup, but now I'm actually very excited about the prospect of going there, even more so than my other options (or maybe I'm just telling myself that so I don't feel too sad when the PhD programs reject me haha). They offered a great funding package and mentioned a "salary," anyone knows how much that could be? Fall 2017 MA/PhD Applicant, Art History Accepted (1/4); Rejected (0/4); Waitlisted (0/4) UC Davis (MA), UC Berkeley (PhD), Stanford (PhD), SFSU (MA)
