DMA. Called and asked about status. Rejected.

From e-mail: Please excuse the time it took to respond as I wanted to review the waiting list before commenting. While you are a very high quality applicant with much to offer to the field, and you are part of our waiting list for admission, I do not think we will ultimately be able to offer you aid and admission. We have had a very positive response from our initial offers, and while it is possible we will still be able to make an offer to you, I realistically do not think so. I wish you the best as you decide for the right fit for your graduate work. I am happy to know that good students such as yourself are progressing through your education.

Received full funding today by phone. First year fellowship and 5 year TA ship. Good luck to those still waiting.

I've called and e-mailed and have continually been given the run around. I'm beginning to think my application was lost. Admissions and English department has been incredibly rude.

looking for funding for me... *fingers crossed*

"Please be aware that the applications for admission this year are particularly strong, and we have been unable to welcome all of our promising candidates for admission." bullcrap... #$@(*&^!!!!!

I emailed Dr. Sullivan who replied with the following: While you are a high quality applicant to graduate school, and you are part of our waiting list for admission, I do not think we will ultimately be able to offer you aid and admission. We have had unprecedented positive response from our initial offers. Good luck to those accepting offers!

Fellowship = full tuition waiver + $20k stipend per year. Email from Prof first, followed by official letter from Dean a couple weeks later.

Like the others, no mention of funding yet. Hopefully that will come soon.

Yay!

I received a phone call from the Graduate Coordinator with my "waitlisted" status. To those waiting on Miami of Ohio--they are taking only THREE students in Rhet/Comp this year. If you were one of those accepted...please let them know if you are not taking the position.
