Marritz21 Posted January 24, 2018 Posted January 24, 2018 All of these acceptances are making me smile! I'm sitting here nervously waiting for any responses from the schools I applied to, lol; at least I have final semester classes to keep me busy!
Ufffdaaa Posted January 24, 2018 Posted January 24, 2018 Congrats to everyone who received good news today! I'm going to *try* to disconnect from my computer/phone for as long as I can with the hope of regaining some sanity.

My interactions with CSCL were limited but all positive! It may please you to know that one of my grad instructors from that dept. interviewed for and received a tenure track job during the course of the class I was taking from him. Minneapolis is a wonderful city, though I'm a bit biased having been born and raised in the area. However, Prince once told Oprah that he would never move away from Minnesota because "the cold keeps all of the jerks away." Good luck with the rest of the process. Also, as you probably know, you would be living a stonesthrow from the birthplace of your namesake! Super delayed response, but thanks for the well wishes and for passing all that on!! Very heartening to hear about the tenure track job for sure. And I've actually never been to Minneapolis--shameful, as I'm a rabid Replacements (and of course MST3K) fan. I'm excited to visit!

J.C. Marie Posted January 25, 2018 Posted January 25, 2018 I've applied to eight school for Library Science and only heard back from three so far. It's definitely stressful, and I just wish I could hear back already!

to_di Posted January 25, 2018 Posted January 25, 2018 For those wanting to fine-tune their obsession: someone on Reddit gradadmissions made an awesome set of graphs illustrating decision timelines, GRE & GPA distributions. All based on gradcafe data. The graphs for Literature PhD: https://imgur.com/a/LDKpT Credit: punctilious 1
a_sort_of_fractious_angel Posted January 25, 2018 Posted January 25, 2018 Oh me, oh my. Thanks, @id_ot - will definitely fill up a few hours with this gem.
Warelin Posted January 25, 2018 Posted January 25, 2018 I think the same person posted a thread here: As always, gre averages are tricky. GradCafe tends to attract applicants with higher scores. At times, v+q scores can be flopped accidentally. But it is nicely done.
to_di Posted January 25, 2018 Posted January 25, 2018 (edited) @Warelin right! didn't notice I would say that not only are GRE averages tricky, but that they are not very relevant to literature programs unless they are very bad. The only really interesting bit is the decisions timelines - interesting to see which programs notify all at once and which do so gradually over a long period of time.
