English Graduate School Admission Results

Unofficial email from DGS. SLAC. Extremely good GRE/subject test scores. Imaginative, unprecedented research. Clear research goals. Several conferences, one publication. Four languages (but I explicitly said I was nowhere near fluent in any of them). I waited a couple of years after undergrad before applying (my writing sample has nothing to do with my undergraduate work).

MA gpa. Publication accepted with revisions and numerous conferences

Absolutely thrilled!!

Phone call from director of PhD program. Was told that I'm #2 on wait list.

MA GPA is 4.0.

Received two e-mails: 1. Check your Duke application 2. Welcome to Duke video.

I'm hallucinating, obviously.

form letter; from large public uni.

I did my undergrad at Berkeley; strong ties, mentors in the department. One international conference, no publications; been given departmental awards in the past for my writing and my academics. I'm completely in shock!!!! And also incredibly happy, OMG.

Got an email from Nancy Armstrong saying she loved my writing sample, explained it in detail to me, and thought it was totally original! I can't believe my life I'm so happy. Undergrad degrees: Neuroscience, Philosophy M.A. Humanities UChicago - focus on Victorian studies Taught community college for gap year
