I'm surprised they accepted anyone off the waitlist already--in my wait list email Wayne Lesser said that admitted students day was later than usual this year and basically indicated that it would be rather late in the game before I knew for sure whether I was accepted or rejected. U Texas is my top choice, so I'm really hoping for this one. The waiting is killing me.
Anyone here with research interests in Modernism? I know there probably are people who have accepted interested in that field, and I don't know how many from each area they'd admit (or even how big the class as a whole usually is), but it'd still be nice to know. Wayne Lesser was really nice in the original email but sucks at staying in contact and I'm starved for, like, any information at all.
