BlessMeWithSnow Posted February 20, 2018 Author Posted February 20, 2018 Two rejections for McGill PhD on the board... how is everyone?
writethebeats Posted February 20, 2018 Posted February 20, 2018 Another one... my heart goes out to y'all! Keep your chin up!
BlessMeWithSnow Posted February 20, 2018 Author Posted February 20, 2018 Another two rejections, one for the MA program. Isn’t it odd to send out rejections first?

I was thinking the same thing. Every email I receive today will cause a minor heart tremor. BlessMeWithSnow 1
WhatIsSleep Posted February 20, 2018 Posted February 20, 2018 No love for me from McGill today. It’s okay, though, because it would have been only for the ego boost. I couldn’t find anyone there who would be a great fit for my proposal BUT I love Montreal! Toronto and Western are killing me. Especially Toronto. Good luck to anyone else going for McGill!!! Oh! I did get accepted to Birmingham. Need money now! BlessMeWithSnow and writethebeats 2

Also why the heck are they releasing a bunch of rejections? Maybe acceptances have already been made....? *just casually driving myself crazy at work this morning, no big deal* BlessMeWithSnow 1

Why is it that I have so much research to do, but yet I find myself constantly refreshing this thread and the result boards? ha ha *crying inside*

I am SO GRATEFUL. THANK GOODNESS I HAVE FOUND MY PEOPLE RIGHT NOW. Also I feel you about the research stress. I feel like I can't start until I know the results of this app! writethebeats and BlessMeWithSnow 2
BlessMeWithSnow Posted February 20, 2018 Author Posted February 20, 2018 Also at work driving myself crazy. I applied to the MA program but a rejection appeared for that too. You’re both PhD applicants right?

BlessMeWithSnow Posted February 20, 2018 Author Posted February 20, 2018 @RainDays and @writethebeats Good luck to both of you! writethebeats and RainDays 2
WhatIsSleep Posted February 20, 2018 Posted February 20, 2018 The email told me to check uapply. Maybe try there to see if you have an acceptance, those of you waiting on McGill?

DatGuy Posted February 21, 2018 Posted February 21, 2018 (edited) Btw, I'm a grad student finishing up in the department of English at McGill. If you have questions, feel free to ask me. (more about the program/people rather than the admissions thing itself. I don't have much info on that). Edited February 21, 2018 by DatGuy

I applied to work with Ara Osterweil and Alanna Thain! Have you taken classes with either of them?!! How were they?! I hear such good things!

Do you like to think about the intersections between making art and producing scholarship? If so, chances are you'll like them. Both are quite popular professors in the department, though I find Alanna Thain's work/class format in particular to be on the more unorthodox of things in academia. Haven't taken classes with either since I'm a different subfield, but I have been here for both my undergraduate and masters degrees, so you can trust what I'm saying.
