English Graduate School Admission Results

I was previously on the wait list, but they notified me today that they were already able to admit me for the fall. Exciting news! This is my first official "yes" so far this season!

"The graduate committee of the Department of English and Film Studies has reviewed your application to the PhD program. I am very sorry to inform you that the committee was unable to recommend admission at this time. Competition was keen this year, with many more qualified applicants than we could admit." Not going well..

To answer the post below asking if these MSts are worth it-- No. Masters programmes in the UK, especially in the Humanities, are not worth much these days. To an outsider, Oxford may sound prestigious, but the truth is that they're very willing to accept you so they can grab tens of thousands of dollars, and gradually more people are becoming aware of this. The program exploits students who are drawn in by the prestige / the idea that a Mst will benefit them. Good luck.

To the below poster re: UNC, how did you find that out via website? I don't see anything posted on my profile.

The department never emailed me. I logged in today to find that they had posted a decision on 2/20. Very unprofessional.

Random website check. Figured as much.

Accepted off the wait list. Original post below. I couldn't be more excited! Go Heels!

Notified by email of invitation for interview weekend at Notre Dame. Excited to be considered!

Email to check the website with decision
