PaperChaser Posted February 12, 2010 Share Posted February 12, 2010 Could those who applied to and were accepted or rejected by Rhet/Comp programs this year post the timeframes for decisions? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lcampb Posted February 13, 2010 Share Posted February 13, 2010 I'm applying for Rhet/Comp programs both MA and PhD but haven't heard back from anywhere yet (the schools I applied to are in my signature). Its nice to find another Rhet/Comp applicant though, there don't seem to be too many of us on here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its nice to find another Rhet/Comp applicant though, there don't seem to be too many of us on here I think the applicant pools are a little smaller this year-from what I've been told by admissions people anyway. My first choice school took me right away (literally, the day after I faxed in the missing part of my app!) but ....nothing but crickets from several of the other schools. Then again, I don't think admissions committees are as anxious to let us know as we are to find out! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cosmic dancer Posted February 15, 2010 Share Posted February 15, 2010 I've heard from two of the five schools I applied to that decisions will be sent out the first week of March -- not sure if this is standard for most programs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thinkagain Posted February 15, 2010 Share Posted February 15, 2010 I applied to mostly literature programs but did also apply to Northeastern's MA in Rhet/Comp. No word! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
veronica Posted February 15, 2010 Share Posted February 15, 2010 I applied to UT Austin, Purdue, Ohio State, Penn State, and S. Carolina for rhet/comp...and have heard nothing from any of them. Getting a little worried since UT, Ohio, and PSU have all sent out acceptances already...eep! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaperChaser Posted February 15, 2010 Author Share Posted February 15, 2010 I applied to UT Austin, Purdue, Ohio State, Penn State, and S. Carolina for rhet/comp...and have heard nothing from any of them. Getting a little worried since UT, Ohio, and PSU have all sent out acceptances already...eep! I think South Carolina has too, but I have heard anything on my app. My recommenders (I went for overkill expecting this to happen) were all on the late-ish side, but I think South Carolina only required 2. I'd really like to work with some of the people there, but the stipend is really low. You aimed a bit higher than I did in the rest of your apps, so you'll probably have plenty of options "Pending." Pending what? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm also getting nervous about OSU and PSU... just hoping that their Rhet/Comp admissions come in a separate wave than their regular English admissions (although I don't know how reasonable that is). According to last year, Purdue notifies pretty late (mid-March). Best of luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pending what? the "pending" status is so irritating! as of Jan 22, the committee hadn't met yet, or at least that's the impression I got from an email I received.

According to last year, Purdue notifies pretty late (mid-March). Best of luck! I can say, very simply, that OSU's English department has not sent out all (most) of its acceptances yet. ljboogie 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
