Yanaka Posted January 31, 2017 Posted January 31, 2017 Okay, now I'm basically almost-near-close-to convinced I'm rejected everywhere!
Glasperlenspieler Posted January 31, 2017 Posted January 31, 2017 It's too early to give up hope! I think most of the programs from your list haven't sent out anything yet.
Yanaka Posted January 31, 2017 Posted January 31, 2017 I don't know... Berkeley for instance was supposed to send answers by end of Jan. if I refer to an email I received. I think we're very few on GC so who knows if some have already received answers? Bleh~

I applied to Berkeley English, so different situation, but as far as I can tell they're running a bit later this year. Yanaka 1
Dr. Old Bill Posted January 31, 2017 Posted January 31, 2017 Yeah. I'm not a comp lit person, but you really can't start really worrying until you see other results on the board. Until then, you just have to assume that they haven't notified yet. Truly, save the panic for when it counts. claritus and Yanaka 2
Yanaka Posted January 31, 2017 Posted January 31, 2017 Ugh. It's more about wanting to be able to plan the upcoming months... I see the board has a few answers but maybe there are no other Berkeley Comp Lit applicants on Grad Café
Abyss21 Posted February 2, 2017 Posted February 2, 2017 Congrats to whoever got the Berkeley acceptance along with the email from Judith Butler! You are one lucky person! hmss9245 1
Yanaka Posted February 2, 2017 Posted February 2, 2017 Congrats! Yes very lucky!! Am I allowed to be sad, now? Lol
Yanaka Posted February 3, 2017 Posted February 3, 2017 Well, I asked for it! Got my rejection from UC Berkeley. Darn it

I applied to their Rhetoric program because a prof suggested it and said it wasn't like a regular rhetoric program. I'm still patiently waiting.....
Yanaka Posted February 3, 2017 Posted February 3, 2017 Interesting. I hope you'll get in, if it's the right fit and all, of course! It really seems to be a wonderful campus. But everything progressive is my thang. I see another complit applicant did not survive the Berkeley cut. I'm feeling a little less lonely now.

gyeum Posted February 9, 2017 Posted February 9, 2017 Someone heard back from UChicago yesterday? The Humanities Division website says that POIs don't contact... so it's weird that they said the POI told them they were admitted... I'm the person who posted about Berkeley and Judith Butler. It was such a shock! I'm still waiting to hear back from Penn and Yale. @ThePomoHipster, it looks like we have applied to essentially all the same US programs with the exception of Duke. I also applied to Cornell an Princeton, though. Best of luck to everyone~ hmss9245 1

steve3020 Posted February 9, 2017 Posted February 9, 2017 hey fellow complit applicants. I just found a post on the result board by someone who got an interview from CUNY complit on 2 Jan, which seems to be very early (or maybe the poster meant 2 Feb). I hadn't noticed it because it is posted as 'complit' not 'comparative literature'. Has anyone else heard back from CUNY yet?

I checked out what you wrote about your writing sample on the other thread and it sounds like we also have very similar research interests and unconventional methodology (I also analyze a bunch of mediums other than just literature). Hopefully we get into at least one of the same places! My verbal GRE score was atrocious though so I wouldn't be surprised if I only end up getting into Canadian schools.
Straparlare Posted February 9, 2017 Author Posted February 9, 2017 So...someone posted about the University of Oregon....is someone gonna claim it? Really wanting to hear back and all....
Straparlare Posted February 9, 2017 Author Posted February 9, 2017 Nevermind, heard back. Complete rejection... oh well.
Yanaka Posted February 9, 2017 Posted February 9, 2017 Ugh @Straparlare, still 5 to go, hang in there.
Straparlare Posted February 9, 2017 Author Posted February 9, 2017 @Yanaka thanks. I'm only kinda bummed because one of my LOR writers was from that program and she said I'd be great for it. Personally, I don't think it would have been the best fit with what a lot of current student's interests were but eh. Just trying not to spiral into thinking that I was a complete fool and they'll all be rejections. Good luck to you on your remaining!
