Waiting to hear from 9 other schools. I have one acceptance so far, and still waiting to hear back from 8 schools (applied to 9 total). Also, I don't know if it is the same process this year, but for Fall 2017 applications, Stonybrook did Skype interviews (I only know this because a friend had one, but ended up declining acceptance in favor of Tufts - he was also an English Lit applicant).

Melville Posted February 8, 2018 Share Posted February 8, 2018 I noticed the skype with Stony but haven't seen any results via the results page. I notice that you, LibraryLivingJT, have applied to many geographically diverse colleges. Wow! Mine are New England or NY. I was rejected from UMass, which makes me nervous because they generally take more students than the smaller schools like Tufts. We shall see. Best of luck! Are you happy with Delaware (I don't know anything about that particular program)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're a bit nervous about the tiny size of Brandeis, Tufts, BU, etc. but we have faith! Good luck! Melville 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
themoderncondition Posted February 8, 2018 Share Posted February 8, 2018 Not sure if this helps, but I had a skype interview a couple days after apps were due for Stony Brook. DGS said it was just bc they had to decide on candidates for university fellowship ( in addition to reg funding package). If you didn't get an interview, I don't think it's a complete no, or a no on funding. Melville 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Melville Posted February 8, 2018 Share Posted February 8, 2018 Could you tell me how that interview went? Was it scary? Hard or soft-ball questions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This waiting game is terrible. I couldn't keep myself from doing it, so I emailed and they said we should be hearing back by the end of the week. So, hoping for the best!

Totally soft ball. I think I brought more to the table than they were anticipating. It was just to make sure I’m not a wacko and will seem normal teaching a roomful of students Melville 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
themoderncondition Posted February 8, 2018 Share Posted February 8, 2018 Honestly, I was just so overwhelmed and humbled that they wanted to nominate me for a fellowship. This is not my first time at the rodeo and it was the first positive response I’ve ever gotten from a program. Melville and Axil 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unicornsarereal Posted February 8, 2018 Share Posted February 8, 2018 To those at in so far at Vandy: I'm going on a phone call with them tomorrow and to prepare questions was looking over things. I had just taken notes on the program then looked back and the page was totally different. Instead there's simply a pdf link that has completely different teaching requirements (less) and third year exams (earlier). anyone else spotted this?? i'm so confused and just finished my chart with the old info Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty sure it didn't say that before. Maybe they did change things. Also, the amount you are preparing for this is making me very nervous. Do you think we'll need that on the "conversation" (which feels like an interview, even if it's technically not) or do you just want it for reference? My call is on Saturday, so you're my canary in the mine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
