So if you haven't heard anything yet, you may want to contact the department. Maybe not contact them necessarily, and I saw somewhere ask if Cornell sends out rejections before admissions? You should check the results board. I truly think that if he still don't hear anything after March 1, that means we should give up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would be highly unusual to send out rejections before acceptances, and it would appear that Cornell has not done this the past few years at least. I know that no acceptances have shown up on the results board, but I assume that's just because it's a small cohort (as most comp lit programs are). So since rejections are out, I would assume all decisions have made. That's why I think it's fair to contact the department and/or graduate admissions. But I'm just trying to make inferences based on the data we have, so who knows! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or if I specifically have been admitted? Good question. I'm not really sure what the best approach is. You could either ask when results will be released and if they say they've all been released, then ask about yours. Or you could just saw that you heard rejections had gone out but you hadn't heard anything and wanted to inquire about your status. I feel like either of those are reasonable. (You'll often hear on the boards that you shouldn't inquire about results until later, but I think given that rejections have gone out, it's fair to ask. I've seen stories of people's email getting lost somehow.) Also, have you checked your online application? It could be that you received a result there and the email just didn't go through.

I decided, at the behest of my boss, to not call them. Seems unnecessary, I'll just wait it out. Nothing seems to have changed on the ApplyWeb website, although I'm not sure what an acceptance or rejection would look like. The website just says "Submitted." Anyone gonna claim that Princeton acceptance on the boards? Congrats to the lucky person! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At best it's waitlist but most likely they are just busy and not bothering to send out rejections quickly... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So unfortunately I think it's probably the real deal. If the last few years are any indication, rejections and waitlists should come out in the next week or so.

steve3020 Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 Got waitlisted at Cornell today! I got rejected from there last year on this very same day (!) so I'm very grateful although it's not an acceptance. Dr. Old Bill 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've exchanged a few e-mails with them the other day. They say the admission offers go through the GSAS and we may not hear from them till the end of March. No word on whether they've sent a list to the GSAS. Also, CUNY said that they've sent out the first round of offers and some rejections, and every applicant who hasn't heard anything yet is in a wait list. I e-mailed to Northwestern as well. Though they don't explicitly talk about a wait list, my understanding is that whoever hasn't heard anything from them might still have a chance.

Hey Ister, you are the man! The DGS at NYU changed this year so I am thinking perhaps that's why they are notifying so late. It seems strange that there's no rejection on the board for CUNY but anyway that gives me some hope. Thanks!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks!! Perhaps! It's getting too late to send the first round of acceptances, so I hope to hear something solid from NYU this week. You've applied to Toronto as well, right?

I mean if we were rejected, I don't see why they wouldn't say it directly after I sent an e-mail. I don't know what to feel about CUNY though, but I'm pretty convinced that we still stand a chance at NYU and NW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yanaka Posted March 6, 2017 Share Posted March 6, 2017 Interesting, @The Ister.

My logic is, I got waitlisted last year, so at least they'll waitlist me again or accept me haha. Yes, I applied there too, I will let you know if I hear anything back.
