M(allthevowels)H Posted February 22, 2018 Share Posted February 22, 2018 Thanks @Melvillage_Idiot @punctilious that's my gut instinct, but I waver. I'll definitely poke around more for placement info when I visit. @FreakyFoucault Thanks! I'll give it a scroll. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm rhet/comp and I'm wondering if people who've received acceptances/been waitlisted are looking to do lit or rhet/comp and if, by extension, I should assumed I'm rejected or still hold onto hope. I'm accepted to lit, so that doesn't help you much. I can confirm the statement whomever it was made about the DGS claiming that they're taking a smaller class this year, though--I was told the same thing.

Won’t officially decide until after I visit and hear from the last 5 programs I’m waiting on. Still holding out a shred of hope for USC English, as it is my number 1 choice, but Delaware is my #2 at this point in the game, so I can’t conplain.

I really hope I do soon, as that would alleviate some of the job stress I'm currently feeling. Hang in there, @katie64! IIRC, you're also still waiting on Louisville? I have no intel, just sharing the anxiety of waiting on that particular decision. Edited February 22, 2018 by maengret Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well my hope is that they aren't done with the rhet/comp applicants yet and that I'm not sitting in a rejection pile. Either way I'd just like to hear. Congrats to you!

I'm not sure if both applicants were notified though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CulturalCriminal Posted February 22, 2018 Share Posted February 22, 2018 I know one person that got an acceptance from Louisville’s R/C program, and he isn’t on here. Hope that news doesn’t ruin y’all’s day... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Melville Posted February 22, 2018 Share Posted February 22, 2018 Started the day with a nice fresh rejection from Brandeis. Haha. Oh well. Hoping I get off the waitlist at UConn! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Melville Posted February 22, 2018 Share Posted February 22, 2018 (edited) For Stony Brook applicants, isn't it strange that there have been no postings re interviews as of yet?? In 2017 and 2015 it seems notification of a pending interview was given the last week in Jan and the acceptances went out 6 weeks later. At this point, if the interviews were to be scheduled for next week, one wouldn't hear back until the 2nd week of April (if the timeframe for notification follows the previous years' notifications). What is up with that? Could it be that the interviews have already taken place?? Answer to my own query: I just called the Grad school and a nice gentleman said he does not think that interviews are part of the process anymore. He also said he thinks the letters will go out in March. Edited February 22, 2018 by Melville called the school punctilious 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is there any variety between funding offers? I see 50% and 60% as the two that have been stated so far.

ashley623 Posted February 22, 2018 Author Share Posted February 22, 2018 (edited) Finally received some news back - acceptance to Louisville's MA program and placed on waitlist for funding. Kind of bittersweet because there's really no way I can go without the funding, and it's one of my top choices, so if you've been accepted with a GTAship and already know you won't be going, I would love if you would notify them!

Congratulations on the acceptance! Sometimes, MA students can get LOA (letter of appointment) adjunct positions in affiliated departments. Might be worth looking into.
