They rejected me the first time I applied. I know at least one person on the acceptances board said they plan to decline; hopefully this helps you! Are you going to the open house? I'm planning on going, so maybe I'll see you there. E. Coronaria 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shamrox Posted February 15, 2018 Share Posted February 15, 2018 Waves hello from Boston where I'm hoping against all odds that it's a yes at Northeastern. I'm seeing some invites to a fancy people party for Literature track folks. Any responses for Rhet/Comp? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is the gnarly of gnarliest. Whatever will you wear? Jokes. But seriously speaking, can you tell me what track you applied for? Was it Lit?

I think— and others should correct me if I’m wrong— that unranked waitlists are use to ensure that there is a diverse cohort composition. I’m 19th century American, so if the person the said yes to declines their offer, then they would select someone from the waitlist for 19th century American. I doubt it’s always 1:1 like that, but they do try to keep cohorts balanced. hopeleslie 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A school I was waitlisted at said that their list is not ranked ordered but they consider an "individual's research interests" and the "emerging composition of the incoming class."
