English, New York University (NYU) I was at the open house. NYU is apparently doing "rolling acceptances"--so I imagine, they're only accepting as many people as they have slots (rumored: 9) and will make additional offers as people decline. So to my fellow NYU acceptees, do take all the time you need, but notify as soon as you know! I think that they're only making offers to those invited to the open house, but I could be wrong.

English, University of Pennsylvania (UPenn) Dear undergrad adviser- thank you SO much for encouraging me to apply to Penn. I would never even have considered it if you hadnt been all "oh give it a shot, your a great candidate" etc.

Classics, University Of Arizona I received an informal email from the graduate director saying to "expect good". Arizona's response to their 2009 survey on the Classical Journal's website indicates that they fully fund all of their students. So I guess that means I'm fully funded?

Epidemiology, Brown University Graduate School What a surprise! Another rejection! Maybe I should have wasted my life away studying those assinine GRE vocab words. As we all know the GRE is best indicator for scholarly research!!!!!!

English, University Of Pennsylvania (UPenn) Maybe I just came late to the party, but in case anyone else is holding out hope, the English dept website says: "All applicants who were accepted into the PhD program and those on the PhD waitlist were already notified on February 26th. MA offers will be announced in early-mid March." Not even a short rejection letter or formal notification? Geez.

Sociology, Northwestern University I called the department to find out my application status since I STILL have no link on my application. The woman was very short with me and said I can only find out online and that all decisions will be posted "soon." I am very annoyed with this school... the least they could do is put the folks still waiting out of their misery. What's the hold up?!?!?!

Comparative Studies In Discourse And Society, Ohio State This was a really insulting letter. "Your overall academic record is not competitive..." is an all around condescending way of dealing with applicants. I'm not foolish enough to believe that an application fee means admittance, but it should mean a little respect. Perhaps applicants would be more competitive if anyone could figure out what "comparative studies" is.
