| Brown University | English, PhD (F19) | Other via Other on 15 Mar 2019 | A | 15 Mar 2019 | - To the poster below, PhD admissions are a crapshoot. Near perfect GPAs and GREs, amazing writing samples and personal statements, and glowing recommendations guarantee absolutely nothing That's just how it is. You need all those things, of course, but a huge part of the decision process is just out of your control, e.g., the vague "fit" category, which is much, much more than just research fit. Also, if they had an inkling you'd go somewhere over Brown, they may have decided not to "waste" a slot on you, regardless of how brilliant they may have thought you were.

Graduated from the #1 public university with 3.85 gpa, 2 conferences, and LORs from top processors in my field who knew me very well and each had nominated me for some award or other (i.e. not a generic letter). Oh well! I’ll try again next year.
