Graduate School Admission Results

Missed the phone call. Voicemail message states I've got a fellowship nomination! Applied as Victorianist.

"Dear applicant..." Considering that I probably paid about $3 per word for this rejection letter, they could at least do the courtesy of inserting my name in it.

Accepted off the wait-list I didn't know I was on. I keep sitting here saying, "I can't believe it! I can't believe it!" I had assumed an implicit rejection.

waitlisted for first-year fellowship

Woo! First year fellowship and full funding for six years! An offer I may not be able to refuse...

I got a really nice email from a professor in my area of study. First acceptance letter : )

Same as poster below. Very excited.

I received early notification because of a fellowship nomination. Woot! First acceptance! :)

accepted off waitlist

The only school I reapplied to from my first round last year because the fit was so good. Apparently they did not concur. Am fine though. Have a fully funded PhD offer from a higher-ranked school. Thought it was interesting that they wait-listed folks with much lower GPAs and scores though. Shrug.

How can we all be "high on the waitlist?"

Dear Applicant...

Short and vague.
