English Graduate School Admission Results

Rejected from PhD (apparently they could only offer 4 funded places this year) but accepted into their MA program. But I don't really need a second Masters and that too unfunded. So, rejected the offer. GPA is MA. 5A/6R

The Director of the Program emailed me notifying me of my acceptance. Later we had a really nice zoom meeting regarding funding and other details. Received full funding. However, I rejected the offer as I had better funded offers from elsewhere at hand. But FSU seems like a nice place though. GPA is MA 5A/6R

Accepted with 50% scholarship

Has anyone heard about the program results yet? It is too late now and I still don't have a clue.

Applied 3rd March. Notified via website on 28th April of acceptance with 2.1 (65%) or GPA 3.5 conditional offer. No interview necessary. Supplied 1,000 word essay from undergrad for assessment. Best of luck to all applicants during this challenging time :)

Genuinely surprised at this, but accepted with full funding. Notified via e-mail, have until May 3rd to respond, but still waiting for my top choice.

Acceptance letter didn't say anything about funding. Anyone know if funding will be offered at some point?

Accepted off the waitlist. Fully funded. Declined because I accepted an offer elsewhere.

I have withdrawn my application. I was the next person who would get funding if their present candidate declines the offer. Those who are on the waitlist please contact the department after 22nd April.

I have declined the TA offer to join elsewhere. Those who are waitlisted please check with the department.

Not waitlist. I along with my spouse have declined the TA offer to join elsewhere. Those who are waitlisted please check with the department.

I was accepted, but declined the offer.

I guess I was put on an informal waitlist, and since I'm not much enthusiastic about this program and didn't react, they decided to reject in late April. 3a/1r/1w

I reached out to the grad coordinator to check on my waitlist status and he reported he was unsure why the GC app hasn't updated but that I was rejected given the few spots for the incoming cohort (9) this year out of 300 applications. It was a kind rejection—congrats to everyone who got in!

Has anyone on the waitlist for funding heard anything yet?

Freestanding MA. Declined to be on the waitlist since it's already quite late, and will even take extra weeks to decide if I wish to be put on the waitlist.

1a/6r/0p - Only one (unfunded) PhD acceptance; 3 PhD applications were accepted for partially-funded master's programs instead. Tough cycle. I think I'm going to wait until next year.

"Thank you very much for your application to Penn State's graduate program in English. Unfortunately, we are not able to offer you a place in our program for Fall 2021. We not only received a large number of applications; we are also admitting a smaller group of students this year in order that we may offer more support for our advanced students affected by the pandemic. This means that we are unable to accept many excellent students, including yourself, who have applied this year. I wish you all the very best in these unusually challenging times. Thank you again for your interest in Penn State's program." if you knew, then you should've sent out rejections long ago - not April 15th. waste of time & money.
