English Graduate School Admission Results

Email to check website.

Application status on website changed to "Update Pending." What does this mean?! Ugh purgatory!

Randomly checked the website and a standard form letter had been posted to the application. Congrats to those admitted!

American with UK BA. Reallt excited about this and hoping to get off the waitlist!

1a/1r/1w

Kind and personal letter. Told I was waitlisted because I have only a BA compared to many MA applicants, but that I was still at the "top of the waitlist." Accepted to the MA program which I didn't apply for. Offered full funding and TA for either program (if admitted to PhD). This was my safety school, but I've only had rejections besides this, so it feels like a win.

No official notification yet. I sent an email inquiring about my status, and received a kind, apologetic email in response which said, in part, "We have now finalized our list of admits and wait list, and I regret to inform you that your application did not make it into either category. We have recently cut our incoming class size significantly, to only 10 people, and competition for slots has been especially fierce." Congratulations to the admits!

Rejected from PhD, accepted for MA, US resident applying out of undergrad from Cambridge. To the other acceptance below: are you going to the open day?

Received a very generous offer of a full tuition waiver, 16k stipend, and TAship.

In "alternate list" for funding. 2a/2w/4r/1tbd

Fully-funded two years!

To the user who said they emailed with Virginia kay- does that mean that if we didn't get a rejection email then we are either wait listed or accepted? Why are they waiting so long to send their decisions if they already decided who is rejected?

Videoconference Interview

I emailed them and was told I was on an "informal waitlist" and would hear on or about 4/15

"very short" wait list. Was rejected last year, so this is a pleasant surprise.
