English Graduate School Admission Results

GPA is from MA in English. Still waiting to hear from the VCS PhD program here.

Email from director of Graduate studies, offering a position and asking to visit early March and saying a letter with further details will follow.

emailed to check the website, which had a rejection letter.

Lovely email from adcom

Email from DGS, have not checked the website so I don't know if there's a change on the portal.

Got an email from the associate dean telling me that a decision had been made and I should check the website. Led to an update with a short letter from the university telling me that due to the high level of applicants they didn't have a place for me. Pretty bummed; Notre Dame was one of my top choices. Graduate GPA of 4.0; several conference presentations; undergraduate scholarships and awards. Rejected: 2/7; Waiting: 5/7

Generic email saying there were 314 Applicants-can't take all, etc etc

GPA is MA. 0a/0w/2r

Email from the English department. I thought I was a decent fit but whatever, I kind of don't want to live somewhere without real seasons anyway.

First rejection, not unexpected at all or anything, but still a bit rough. Best of luck to everyone still waiting!

Came at just after 5:00. Generic form email. Website not yet updated. 2nd rejection. Harrumph.

Accepted via email. Great faculty and I'd love to visit but unfortunately their recruitment days fall on the same day as another school where I've already RSVPed. Damn. 1r/2a/0w 7 TBD.

Not too bothered, as I already have an amazing offer elsewhere

Portal changed this am to "Final Review" then an hour or so later to "Decision Made"...I've been checking every 30 seconds and the decision was just updated.

I received the same email to check the portal as the first person who posted. This school is actually one of the reasons I decided to apply, so it's a bummer, though I expected to be rejected after they contacted others for interviews. Coming from an MFA background, 6 years experience teaching comp and lit courses.

This is surreal.

Forgot to post this back when they got in touch—just got an email with the itinerary today for the visit weekend and I am so excited! Does anyone know how many they typically invite to the weekend and what the odds are like? They've been really wonderful to talk to so far and seem like a really amazing fit, going there this fall would be a dream.
