Graduate School Admission Results

There are two possible ways to join the program: either with a one-year EDIC fellowship, or by being hired directly by an EDIC-affiliated lab. Your application has unfortunately not been selected for a fellowship; however, you are considered eligible for the program. (Part of email from the admission office) This means I must now seek a lab that is willing to fund my doctoral studies. I have also heard that securing a fellowship in the 2nd round is exceptionally difficult; however, the department has decided to discontinue the 2nd round starting in 2026. Best of luck to future applicants.

Rejection after waiting for almost 6 months.

IELTS—8.5. Got accepted in January. Since then, there has been no update regarding assistantships. Reached out to all prospective advisors and the department and applied for TA. Is anyone here with an update on TA?

IELTS-8.5, 1 conference paper. No interview. Applied in December 2024.

why did they take so long to reject?

Invited for an interview. Position is with 65% employment, so it is salaried. Specialisation: Postcolonial Studies (Indian Literature in English) (GPA is Masters)

Accepted without funding

Rejected after being waitlisted, was told no one got accepted off the waitlist this year

The deparment sent me an email notifying me of my acceptance and the specifics about funding.

After a along time of being waitlisted, I am happy to get relieved of agony of suspense

Not surprised because this cycle has been extra vicious. Frustrated by the amount of time it took them, though.

The sharpest mind in the room, locked away because the world couldn’t handle it - that’s exactly what my classes and hypocrite profs do. Took them long enough to trash my paper with pseudo objections!
