awhiterussian Posted February 5, 2018 Share Posted February 5, 2018 Good and bad news! Got accepted to LSU with full everything, which is great because I’m going to be studying postcolonial. Got my rejection from UPenn, but I think they had like 3-4 spots max. madamoiselle, Carly Rae Jepsen, Saltshaker and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
senorbrightside Posted February 5, 2018 Share Posted February 5, 2018 Congrats to @Saltshaker and @awhiterussian and anyone else who got an acceptance today. So sorry for the UPenn folks, but I'm sure most of you already have acceptances to other places. Still haven't heard from any of my Spanish applications, so I'm living vicariously through the French folks...and rooting for you all.

joselynr Posted February 5, 2018 Share Posted February 5, 2018 Hi! Not applying to French programs but this thread has apparently been a haven for all language folks. I'm applying to German programs and was just invited to an on campus visit. But it's next week and next week is only the third week of my final semester and I am unsure A) if I can justify missing classes so early and if not going hurts my chances of being accepted. There were only three other persons on the email request for the visit so. Thought I'd pop in and ask! Seeing all y'alls acceptances makes my heart happy! Congrats!

I would definitely try to go, maybe ask your professors? Hopefully they'll be understanding since they went through the same process. -- Congrats on the LSU acceptances guys!

Yanaka Posted February 7, 2018 Share Posted February 7, 2018 I was going to ask about Pitt. A friend of mine spent two hours complaining about how, looking back, it wasn’t a great program. I don’t know if she was just being negative because she’s frustrated she can’t find a job, or if it’s accurate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I applied because they had faculty interested in my research interests and overall seemed a nice program with an exchange program and the usual. I suppose a visit and talking with students could be good to learn more about it though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HomewardBound Posted February 7, 2018 Share Posted February 7, 2018 @Carly Rae Jepsen Congrats! Planning on going to recruiting day? @Yanaka Huh. Did your friend mention any specifics? It doesn't look like their placement is any better or worse than that of most programs to me. Carly Rae Jepsen 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She said their French wasn't good, and they were obnoxious in class (you know, the I-think-what-I-say-is-relevant kinda participation). But it's been a while since she graduated, so maybe it got better! I was just curious if it was her bringing me down because I am waiting for an answer from Rutgers...

madamoiselle Posted February 7, 2018 Share Posted February 7, 2018 OKAY @Carly Rae Jepsen I SEE YOU! Congratulations! No new acceptances or rejections, but one of my POI from Cornell called me today just to say congratulations and it was ridiculously sweet.

HomewardBound Posted February 8, 2018 Share Posted February 8, 2018 @Carly Rae Jepsen Well, congrats! Let me know if they mention it. I've got travel plans finalized and stuff! @Yanaka CONGRATS ON RUTGERS! I know that was your dream school, so yay! And thanks for the Pitt update. I think the quality of a cohort can be pretty subjective, and I'd imagine it changes drastically over time. I would have been more worried if your friend thought the faculty was awful or something. @awhiterussian I don't know if this helps, but I was 100% positive that I'd bombed my Penn State interview, only to receive a fully funded offer of admission a few days later. We're usually a lot more critical of our performance than the faculty committee. You'll probably be fine. : ) Carly Rae Jepsen 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
