English Graduate School Admission Results

Informal offer. Still in shock.

Checked the portal; link saying admissions decisions were available. "I regret to inform you that we cannot accept you for admission to the English - PhD program in Fall 2019. I would like you to know that this decision was reached by the program's admission committee after careful consideration and examination of all the materials you submitted. We very much appreciate the effort and time you spent in crafting and compiling your application and the interest you have shown in The Graduate Center. In recent years, we have received a large increase in the number of applications and our entering class size dictates that we must limit our acceptances to a small proportion of those seeking admission. We wish you success in your future academic pursuits."

Same poster as below. Just wanted to add that the email notification simply said "please sign this document" and took me to their decision page, where the actual response was written out and a signature space was offered below. Pretty shitty and inconsiderate because it got my hopes up just to give me a disappointing MA alternative offer without any funding.

Bummer, but saw it coming when I didn't get an interview. 0a/2r/6p

Quite a nice rejection, as rejections go.

Accepted from waitlist.

Received an informal offer (no mention of conditions/funding etc.). Official offer w/ details will come on Tuesday.

Fourth decision of the day, jeez. 1a/0w/4p/11r

Received personal email from a professor, awarded a tuition waiver. ecstatic, worth the wait!

Exciting news! Let's see if it converts...
