♦ | I | 3 Apr 2019 | - "As Director of Doctoral Admissions for the English Department at NYU, I write to let you know that our Committee looked very favorably on your application. Because we make so few initial offers, I cannot now offer you a place in the entering class. However, you are now on a very select wait list for admission. I understand that this is not an ideal outcome for you, but I want to emphasize that it really is a considerable achievement given the number and quality of the applicant pool."

Fingers remaining crossed for all!
|
| McMaster University | English, PhD (F19) | Other via E-mail on 2 Apr 2019 | I | 2 Apr 2019 | - I got an earlier email saying I'd been waitlisted. This email asks if I'm still interested and if so the grad school will make a formal offer
|
| SUNY Albany | English, PhD (F19) | Wait listed via E-mail on 2 Apr 2019 | A | 2 Apr 2019 | - To albany waitlists: what are your areas of interest? I believe the waitlist is organized by interest.

| SUNY Albany | English, PhD (F19) | Wait listed via E-mail on 1 Apr 2019 | A | 2 Apr 2019 | - Please, please, please make your decision if you have been accepted. This is the only program I was able to apply for and I am just waiting to exhale.

♦ | A | 1 Apr 2019 | - Found out after emailing the DGS directly about my status. Apparently I'm on a "very short" waitlist. GPA is MA. 1a/2w/7r/1p.
|
| UNC Chapel Hill | English, PhD (F19) | Rejected via Website on 1 Apr 2019 | | 1 Apr 2019 | - Perfectly nice, polite rejection email, but when so much money is being paid to apply it would be great to not keep people waiting so long for an official rejection.
|
| University Of North Carolina Chapel Hill (UNC) | English, PhD (F19) | Rejected via E-mail on 1 Apr 2019 | I | 1 Apr 2019 | - Rejected from the waitlist. It seems I will be preparing for the next cycle. Good luck to all!

♦ | A | 1 Apr 2019 | - Like the post below, I also had to wait months for this rejection (that I knew was coming)
|
| UNC Chapel Hill | English, PhD (F19) | Rejected via E-mail on 1 Apr 2019 | | 1 Apr 2019 | - They waited almost two months after they had sent out all of the other notifications and then sent the rejection on April Fool's Day.
No comment necessary.
|
| University Of Washington | English, PhD (F19) | Other via Other on 1 Apr 2019 | | 1 Apr 2019 | - To those waitlisted at U of W: Visits for admitted students are happening on April 4th and 5th, so expect movement soon!
|
| Boston University | English, PhD (F19) | Other via Other on 1 Apr 2019 | A | 1 Apr 2019 | - Yep, I still haven't heard anything. Honestly I'm not counting on getting in (my subject test score wasn't great and my interests don't match up as well), but who knows. Good luck to everyone else still waiting! I haven't heard back from UC Berkeley (PhD) or NYU (Masters) yet either *shrug*
|
| Boston University | English, PhD (F19) | Other via Other on 31 Mar 2019 | | 31 Mar 2019 | - Has anyone else still not heard anything at all from BU?
|
| University Of Washington | English, PhD (F19) | Wait listed via Other on 31 Mar 2019 | A | 31 Mar 2019 | - Anyone else on the wait list hear anything from them?
|
| George Washington University | English, PhD (F19) | Other via Website on 31 Mar 2019 | | 31 Mar 2019 | - Thank you to the person who posted below :) Good luck to everyone!
|
| George Washington University | English, PhD (F19) | Wait listed via E-mail on 7 Mar 2019 | A | 31 Mar 2019 | - I emailed a few days ago and asked for waitlist status / placement inquiry. They responded that they will not look at the waitlist until they have heard back from all of the initial offers.
|
| Columbia University | English, PhD (F19) | Other via Other on 31 Mar 2019 | O | 31 Mar 2019 | - To the poster below: yes, there are years in which no one gets in off the waitlist. Schools tend to over-extend offers, admitting 14-15 students when they only expect 9-11 to accept. In order to pull from the waitlist, a number of students (4-5) must reject. And even then, the school tends to fill the "gaps" in the cohort by representing underrepresented fields. Hope this helps. Feel free to join us on the forum for discussion if confused or concerned.
|
| Columbia University (GSAS) | English, PhD (F19) | Other via Other on 30 Mar 2019 | A | 30 Mar 2019 | - I have a question. Are there ever years where NO ONE gets off the waitlist at a school? I’m asking in particular about Columbia. I’m currently on the waitlist and it’s killing me...
|
| Rutgers University | English, PhD (F19) | Wait listed via Phone on 30 Mar 2019 | | 30 Mar 2019 | - To the poster before me, I just got off the phone with my POI and he said they're still waiting to hear back from other students, so while he will try his best to get answers from them ASAP, it won't be by this weekend, unfortunately! There's also no ranking too from what I've heard, so it depends on your field.
