English Graduate School Admission Results

Hopes leapt up; I paused to talk myself down...rightfully so. 0a/4r/9tbd

Emailed Grad school to follow up and received rejection email.

GPA is MA. Email came at 3 am on the west coast..

Email to access account, enter email, do backflip, use temporary password, open pdf of decision, do human sacrifice. Not surprised having seen acceptances go out a few days ago.

Chicago person asking about GRE -- 89% verbal (161), 6.0 writing. My verbal could be better but I don't think it's abysmal. I'd be interested to hear what others have to say! It's my understanding that this matters less than the writing statement and SoP but perhaps they use it to weed out people under a certain %?

Expected.

I am one of the Chicago rejects :) and my GRE scores were 97th percentile verbal 5.0 analytical. 4.0 MA GPA, national conferences, teaching experience etc. I think admission decisions are more about fit than numbers.

My GRE percentiles were verbal- 85 (160) analytical 4.0, national conferences, paper presentations, etc. Fit was perfect as well. Don't know what's up.rnHas anyone heard from Miami?

Decent, respectful letter. Congrats to all those who got in!

Never got a formal letter, just multiple advertisement emails from the MA program that cursorily mentioned that I was rejected from the PhD.

Offered Chancellor's Distinguished Fellowship. Thrilled! Got a nice email from DGS and Admissions office just before midnight on Tuesday, and emails from POIs over the rest of the week. 1a/0w/2r (4 TBD)

I accidentally submitted the app two weeks past the deadline. Whoops. 1a/1r/10 to go

They got back to me before I even got home from the interview weekend! Was such a great visit, will definitely be accepting as they're a perfect fit. Best of luck to my fellow interviewees! So excited!

To poster below: My GRE was 98th percentile Verbal/6.0 AW. I also have a 4.0 MA GPA, as well as one small publication and a conference presentation under my belt. My guess is that they didn't like my writing sample, they weren't prioritizing people who already had an MA, or I just didn't seem to be a good fit.

Bugger. 0a/4r/9tbd

I was accepted and given a GTA.
