Silabus Posted February 24, 2017 Share Posted February 24, 2017 That results page is killing me. Where is my answer?! Yes, no, maybe, give me something here! Oooooh and that Florida State person! Jeeze! I didn't apply to the Rhet/Comp sector but still I want to know! And Indiana University, call me off the waitlist already! xD You know you want me, and I want you, so let's just make it happen already! All of these conversations about theorists are nice to read over though! Foucault is my man! anxiousphd 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eadwacer Posted February 24, 2017 Share Posted February 24, 2017 Does anyone have any insight into why it takes so long to notify rejections after acceptances are notified in most programs? I honestly just don't understand how that process works and am curious. I'm sure there's a legitimate reason, but it's certainly frustrating. Also frustrating: I will probably not hear from either of the medieval programs I applied to for another week and a half at least. zombiekeats 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
la_mod Posted February 24, 2017 Share Posted February 24, 2017 Oof, not a good sign when the last school to not hit you with an implied rejection is an ivy. Guess I'll go for my MA (and hopefully I'll get into that one MA program)? I hate this "implied rejection" thing. Feeling pretty crummy in general about this whole process.... ugh acidtooth 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shoestofollow Posted February 24, 2017 Share Posted February 24, 2017 Columbia's AdCom is meeting/has met today and so I am at the edge of my seat. Even though I know we may not hear til next week b/c they might have to go through Admissions first. But I'm feeling kind of selfish because I am already very happy with the choices I have. It would just be a dream to get in to Columbia!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would just be a dream to get in to Columbia!!! Same! I keep reminding myself how I felt last year when I struck out, and that I should be delighted with the two offers I have, but when I read the research of my Columbia POI it was like an epiphany, and now she's my hero. But the trend thus far is that I'm getting into Irish studies unis, so even though theoretically Columbia would be perfect I'm inclined to think they'll look at the texts I mentioned in my SoP and go 'we don't have anyone for that'. you're postcolonial right shoestofollow?

shoestofollow Posted February 24, 2017 Share Posted February 24, 2017 Yes @Caien I do postcolonial, particularly Africa and the Middle East I don't know if this helps or hurts BUT I looked back at my emails with the DGS and she said they would "know the outcome by 3pm" It's 3:17 pm over here so they only just got out of their meeting probably!

Dr. Old Bill Posted February 24, 2017 Share Posted February 24, 2017 Here's a vent: this is the second day this week that I've dedicated to working on a paper revision for my Capstone project, and I've never been less motivated...even though it's due on Tuesday. I keep trying to convince myself of the urgency of the matter, but it's not working like it usually does. I know it will get done, because I always get everything done on time etc....but I want to be on the other side of this thing already. UGH.

Roughly--Nineteenth century Americanist, but developed from an interest in Romanticism. I totally feel you on POIs, though. The person I want to work with at Columbia has my exact specific interest and now I'm dying to work with her. But, still, I'm happy with the schools I got into (happy to get in at all, tbh).

shoestofollow Posted February 24, 2017 Share Posted February 24, 2017 Me neither @zombiekeats! It's still early though I think some schools wait until after close of business. No one's posted on the results page yet either!! zombiekeats 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

la_mod Posted February 24, 2017 Share Posted February 24, 2017 Ahhh, I wish I knew about Columbia; it's my last chance to get into a funded/ PhD program!

Dr. Old Bill Posted February 24, 2017 Share Posted February 24, 2017 So does the person who just posted this on the Results page... I may have posted those Columbia acceptances to troll la_mod, Caien, shoestofollow, and zombiekeats. ... forgive me, acceptance Gods! ...think he or she is being funny? Because that's not funny in the least. Goes to show that it doesn't take much for the seeming legitimacy of the Results board to be compromised. eyeshadow 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
