Graduate School Admission Results

Personal email from DGS with full funding offer and invitation to a preview weekend.

I received an email from the administrative assistant letting me know I have been waitlisted. If anyone is considering not accepting their offer please do so as soon as you can! This program is my first choice :)

Generic rejection email. Good luck to the other applicants.

Waitlisted via email. Email provides your location on the waitlist, so there is that. 1a/3r/1w

For the DMA: 3 Exams; 3 Interviews; Meet-and-Greet

Email. Waiting on formal letter. Yipee!

"I am writing to you on behalf of the Rhetoric and Composition PhD admissions committee in the Department of English, University of Wisconsin-Madison. The faculty members have completed their review and have asked me to inform you that your application was not one of those chosen for admission. We certainly regret that we could not send better news. Your interest in our program and the effort you made to apply are very much appreciated. Please understand that we received many impressive applications, but we are only able to offer admission to the strongest few. The committee and I wish you the best in your future academic pursuits and thank you once again for your application."

Program is DMA. Emailed to check application portal for notification letter.

Email to check the portal. Feeling happy. Have generally heard good things about funding through grad assistantships, but no official word on that yet.

Not my first choice, have a backup. Congrats to those accepted.

Required Interview

I received an email from the Graduate School saying that I was admitted but there was no funding information. Then I emailed the DGS who responded (the same day) with my funded offer letter.

Declined spot on the waitlist. Have offers from strong programs.
