English Graduate School Admission Results

"Thank you for your application to the PhD program in English at the University of Pittsburgh. We receive many applications to our PhD program every year, and your application was read carefully by members of the Graduate Admissions Committee. Unfortunately, we are not able to offer you admission to the program at this time. Every year we find ourselves in the difficult position of turning down many well-qualified applicants because of the very few positions we have for entering PhD students. Also, because we receive so many applications - and due to requirements of confidentiality - we are not able to provide evaluations of individual applications. On behalf of the Graduate Admissions Committee, I wish you well in your intellectual pursuits and future career, and thank you again for your interest in graduate studies in English at the University Pittsburgh."

Major GPA 3.9. Two regional conferences, one in religion. First on waitlist. They said they could only take four people. Congrats to all accepted!

Short form letter saying they had to reject many qualified applicants. Not too worried as I've been accepted to a better program and better fit for my intended research. 1a/3r.

English PhD applicant too - still with degree committee. Had the funding interview last day of January but heard nothing else.
