English Graduate School Admission Results

Dream school. Received positive feedback when I inquired about my status. Hoping I hear a definitive decision soon!

Form letter attached to e-mail. If you're not going here please let them know ASAP!

GAO on 15/2, Offer on 19/2, Conditional on me receiving at least a Merit in my master's degree

Conditional offer for MPhil in C18 and Romantic studies on Camsis. Got past degree committee by early March. Awaiting approval by BOGS since 11th. Not shortlisted by Gates.

Email from DGS notifying me of "short waiting list." If you are accepting elsewhere, please let them know soon, as I really want to study with Edelman and Litvak!

Their certificate in Women, Gender and Sexuality Studies seems to be an awesome addition and was a nice fit with my interests.

Extremely kind rejection. acceptance in various english programs was between 3-11%

Ya’ll, this MAPH is predatory. Don’t fall for it. It’s essentially how their fund their PhD program. The MAPH students aren’t treated well or respected. Don’t let a classist institution make you feel like you have to go into debt to become a better applicant for the next cycle!!! Nooooo thank u. In the words of Kylie Jenner, 2019 is the year of realizing things. UChicago needs to realize that their MAPH program makes them look like vultures. #THANKUNEXT

applied for phd

Received rejection by mail; poorly written letter that ends with a desperate plea to reapply next year, as if the initial application fee wasn't enough to sate their fiscal glut. Accepted a much better offer at a far better school.

To the poster below regarding Emory: I heard back from the Director of Grad. Admissions. Those of us who haven't heard anything were most likely part of a small pool of applicants they kept on the shelf in case of "unexpected openings." Unfortunately, it doesn't look like there will be any, so we can expect formal rejections soon. Frankly, I'm pleased to have made it this far!

It's an ego boost for sure, but I think I'll be declining to stay closer to home. 3a/1r

@the poster below: SAME

Email from the graduate director notifying me of my acceptance. He said an official letter would be sent soon, but the committee didn't reach a decision on funding yet.

Also nominated for a university fellowship; other funding info to follow

Accepted off the waitlist, with funding. I will be accepting this offer shortly.

"As Director of Doctoral Admissions for the English Department at NYU, I write to let you know that our Committee looked very favorably on your application. Because we make so few initial offers, I cannot now offer you a place in the entering class. However, you are now on a very select wait list for admission. I understand that this is not an ideal outcome for you, but I want to emphasize that it really is a considerable achievement given the number and quality of the applicant pool."

Five-year fellowship. MA GPA 4.0. Canadian.
