Screw NYU. They can keep circlejerking over Foucault all they want. I got a much better offer elsewhere.

VERY CONFUSING NOTIFICATION to check website via email. subject line of email: "University of Notre Dame admission." Then the first line of the letter on the website: "We were pleased to consider your application for graduate studies at the University of Notre Dame." Second line: "We are sorry to report that we are unable to admit you at this time." ???

Meh. Not surprised, given that the acceptances/waitlist spots seem to have filled up already. Big thanks to Gradcafe for preparing me for the blow.

Grad school GPA of 4.0, and an adjunct position in a major university. I applied to only 4 universities, and this is my first acceptance. I was offered a TA.

No surprise at this point. Yale was my top choice, and it was honestly the best "fit" of all the institutions I applied to given my specific interests. Having said that, I suspect there must have been a weak spot or two in my overall application, not least of which are my GRE scores. In any event, I will get an M.A. and give them another shot in two years. Congrats to the acceptances!

Reject letter was generalized to applicants for all disciplines so when I read it quickly and saw that it said "10,400 applicants" I thought they meant for English, which was hilarious. Then I saw it was for all departments. Really, the specific department should be the ones responding.
