wheel_of_fire Posted February 4, 2010 Posted February 4, 2010 I just got an email notice from Chicago's department chair today notifying me that I've been put on a "short" waitlist for the English PhD program. Did anyone else here get this email or know anything more about our odds of getting off the waitlist?
jkl444 Posted February 5, 2010 Posted February 5, 2010 Would you guys mind sharing your stats and fields? Thanks. strokeofmidnight and drbenway 2
danam Posted February 20, 2010 Posted February 20, 2010 I am also on the wait list. I sent an email asking these same questions, and here are the answers I got: There are approximately 10 people on the wait list, and it is not ranked. They will admit people from it based on what field you study (if a medievalist decides not to attend, the will admit a different one). I do contemporary postcolonial fiction -- what about you? I am really crossing my fingers for Chicago because it is my top choice, but we'll see. Good luck!
wheel_of_fire Posted February 20, 2010 Author Posted February 20, 2010 Really? That's not what I was told. I hear the list is ranked within subfields.
