| Georgetown University | English, Masters (F10) | Accepted via E-mail on 21 Jun 2010 | A | 21 Jun 2010 | Received email from DGS. No funding so I am probably declining, unfortunately. But glad to hear back at last. |
| Saint Johns University | English (Composition & Rhetoric), Other (F10) | Accepted via E-mail on 11 Jun 2010 | A | 13 Jun 2010 | The program is for a Doctorate of Arts (D.A.) in English. No word yet on financial aid. Good Luck Everybody!! |
| UNC -Greensboro | English, Masters (F10) | Accepted via Postal Service on 28 May 2010 | A | 28 May 2010 | |
| University Of Denver | English/Creative Writing, PhD (F10) | Rejected via Postal Service on 24 May 2010 | A | 25 May 2010 | Letter dated April 19; postmarked May 21. |
| University Of Denver | English (Creative Writing: Poetry), PhD (F10) | Rejected via Postal Service on 24 May 2010 | A | 24 May 2010 | Beyond the late application due date (Feb 1), Denver apparently does not mail *any* rejections until all incoming students are officially confirmed (hence the late postal notification). The letter (hand signed, a surprising touch) indicated that 7 positions were accepted from 165 applicants (approx. 4% acceptance rate; 3 poets and 4 fiction writers). |
| University Of South Dakota | English (Creative Writing), PhD (F10) | Accepted via E-mail on 11 Apr 2010 | A | 20 May 2010 | Accepted off of waiting list with teaching assistantship |
| California State University, Fullerton | English, Masters (F10) | Accepted via Postal Service on 15 May 2010 | A | 17 May 2010 | Hooray! |
| CUNY Hunter | English Language & Literature, Masters (F10) | Accepted via Website on 13 May 2010 | A | 14 May 2010 | It's my top choice since I can only afford CUNY. |
| SUNY Binghamton | English (Creative Writing: Poetry), PhD (F10) | Accepted via Website on 12 May 2010 | A | 12 May 2010 | Called the graduate assistant to confirm that this is *without* funding. Will not accept. |
| The University Of Tennessee - Knoxville | English, PhD (F10) | Rejected via Postal Service on 10 May 2010 | A | 10 May 2010 | I was on the waitlist, which is why I'm just now getting this. Ah well, c'est la vie. |
| University Of Florida | English, PhD (F10) | Rejected via Postal Service on 3 May 2010 | A | 5 May 2010 | Letter dated 3/31/2010; I received on 5/3/2010. Despite sitting on this letter for a month, the response was personalized, explaining I had been wait-listed and that special interest was put into my application. It encourages me to reapply next year, but since I've accepted a fellowship at another university, that won't be happening. |
| California State University Long Beach | English (Creative Writing), MFA (F10) | Rejected via Other on 4 May 2010 | A | 5 May 2010 | response to my inquiry for a status update |
| Hunter | English, Masters (F10) | Accepted via Website on 4 May 2010 | A | 4 May 2010 | YES!! |
| Pennsylvania State University (Penn State) | English, PhD (F10) | Rejected via Postal Service on 3 May 2010 | U | 3 May 2010 | I am disappointed... But well, I must admit their letter of rejection is well written and tactful. What else to say? Postal mail is really slow because the letter says "March 25th" and I recieved it on May 3rd. |
| University Of Cincinnati | English, Masters (F10) | Accepted via E-mail on 30 Apr 2010 | A | 30 Apr 2010 | Without funding, unfortunately. So super excited, though. |
| Columbia | English, Early Modern, Masters (F10) | Accepted via E-mail on 29 Apr 2010 | A | 29 Apr 2010 | Just found out this morning. I had totally written off grad school so this is a nice surprise! |
| Rice University | English, PhD (F10) | Other via Other on 27 Apr 2010 | U | 27 Apr 2010 | Has anyone heard from Rice University, PhD in English?? I tried to email them, but they did not reply. Which email address would you recommend to contact them? I emailed the Graduate Program Coordinator, Linda Evans, but she did not reply. |
| Western Michigan University | English, PhD (F10) | Rejected via Postal Service on 26 Apr 2010 | 26 Apr 2010 | rejected off the waitlist. | |
| University Of Connecticut - Storrs | English Literature, PhD (F10) | Rejected via Postal Service on 26 Apr 2010 | A | 26 Apr 2010 | |
| Baylor | English Literature, PhD (F10) | Other via Other on 26 Apr 2010 | A | 26 Apr 2010 | It is crazy. I haven't heard anything from Baylor, either. I e-mailed Jay Losey about a week ago, and he hasn't responed . It's like they are not all that interested in having good applicants go to their school. I've settled on another university, but I would at least like to find out what happened with Baylor. Wouldn't Losey like to know that his waiting so long to respond to people is causing him to lose applicants? I think this is reflective of the program itself and is a big warning sign to people who might go there. |
