w2010 Posted February 2, 2010 Share Posted February 2, 2010 Whoever posted the U of Illinois acceptance, what concentration/subfield are you planning on studying? What profs do you think you want to work with? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lcampb Posted February 2, 2010 Share Posted February 2, 2010 Whoever posted the U of Illinois acceptance, what concentration/subfield are you planning on studying? What profs do you think you want to work with? Just wanted to second this question! I freaked when I saw that acceptance and immediately went to check my mailbox... Alas, no news yet.

Alas, no news yet. I am an undergrad at U of I and the English Department is amazing. Anyone who gets accepted should be very proud (and excited). Congrats to whoever just got notified of their acceptance! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
strokeofmidnight Posted February 2, 2010 Share Posted February 2, 2010 I think UIUC tends to notify sporadically, rather than sending out letters all at the same time. I was accepted into the program a few years ago. A friend also received positive news a few days later, and I recall seeing gradcafe notices posted up to a week after her acceptance. I don't know if that pattern will still hold this year (Northwestern seemed to have changed their ways), but if it does, there's a good chance that UIUC isn't done making offers yet. Good luck.

Music to my ears. UIUC is the first of my schools to show up on the results page, but the empty mailbox dampened the excitement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Complete aside: I LOVE your username. I crack up every time I see it. (and good luck with UIUC. I hope that it'll reward your patience). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why thank you I'm really based more in Victorian literature, but I saw a commercial for "Raisin Brahms" about giving kids enough servings of the arts everyday, and I thought I could use some theory cereal in the morning. Start the day off right, you know? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
w2010 Posted March 2, 2010 Author Share Posted March 2, 2010 Anyone want to claim the U of I acceptance? Is there any information about how many they are taking this season? I am just interested because I am finishing my undergrad there and the program is AMAZING! Almost every period has strong (and extremely nice) faculty.
