And it looks like we aren’t the only non-Ivy grads on the results board to be accepted!

I am unsure--his acceptance was via email from the DGS. It wasn't particularly personalized other than his name, and it also mentioned, "You will be receiving a formal letter of offer in a week to ten days, which will include specific details of Harvard’s generous six-year financial award." I'm hoping you hear good news!!!
ashley623 Posted February 23, 2018 Author Posted February 23, 2018 Thanks everyone for the good wishes about the funding. It was a little disappointing because it's my first acceptance (and response) but I couldn't really be excited about it when telling people because it was like wellll I have good news and bad news...lol Crow T.

Crow T. Robot Posted February 23, 2018 Posted February 23, 2018 @punctilious ahhhhh that's incredible, huge huge huge congrats to you both!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Massive, massive congrats to you @renea--so amazing to have landed the elusive double acceptance--and @katie64--adding to the chorus of well wishes on funding!!!! ashley623 1
PricklyParoxysm Posted February 23, 2018 Posted February 23, 2018 I just discovered this forum, and I'm not yet sure whether reading through all 66 pages of this thread over the last hour or so has alleviated or aggrivated my anxiety. Results so far: PhD Texas-rejection email, UConn- Waitlisted for Lit (seems like a big club) Still waiting to hear from: PhD: Iowa, Colorado MA: Penn State, Miami Ohio, and Kentucky Best Wishes to all.

Hi Prickly, Mary at UConn said in my waislist email that the waitlist was "selective." Lets keep that in mind!! I'm optimistic! And welcome aboard!
Warelin Posted February 23, 2018 Posted February 23, 2018 If I remember correctly, UConn waitlists by specialization and cut down the number of people they accepted this year. As a result, it is possible that they've waitlisted people who may have been accepted in a prior year.

swimming Posted February 23, 2018 Posted February 23, 2018 Hi everyone, All my friends told me to avoid the grad cafe addiction for the sake of my anxiety but I couldn't help lurk for a while... and it's really great to see how supportive everyone is on here so I thought I would finally sign up, and hopefully find help later down the line about committing to a program! Currently I received offers from the NYU MA program, Penn State (MA on track to Ph.D? Their program is a strange one) and the Tufts Ph.D program, but I'm still waiting for a few more results. Congratulations to everyone who has heard good news so far and good luck for the rest of the admission results OceansAreBlue, Wabbajack, Hermenewtics and 2 others 5
