Random check of my.asu.edu web site revealed status was updated to denied admission (a change since Friday).

E-mail from the department head--official GSAS letter to come shortly. Full fellowship!

Rejected from UW Lit program last year.

Full funding for two years.

Recieved an accepting email, after a phone interview three weeks earlier.

This was my 1st choice! I got a two year fellowship and a 2 year GA. Can't wait to visit!!!

I will be declining, though.

two year of fellowship and three years of GA funding. I can't wait to visit!

There was a lovely e-mail, and a great package--two years of fellowship and two years of GA. I'm thrilled.

funding pending, but I rejected offer due to geographical considerations

20,000 a year for four years, but 2/1 teaching load. In addition, I was nominated for one time 5,000 stipend

Checked website on a whim. Yay!
