Looks like the department emailed out some info on when decisions will begin arriving (they "will have completed their review of applications by the end of this week")

On the off chance, I checked my app status online and it said I was accepted!! I'm so excited to know I'll be going s o m e w h e r e!!

Shouldn't have applied. This program has a reputation for developing some pretty basic (see: uninteresting) work because of faculty meddling. Syrasnooze. Good luck to those who go.

First decision. It begins! Good luck to those who will be getting the happy calls!

I want to go to there so bad. Let me go to there!

Wasn't given my place on the list but there are 6 in total. Beyond honored. Applicant pool was over 500.

Contacted for a background check in order to be eligible for a teaching fellowship. Not sure if this is good, bad, or neutral news - but it's news.

Thrilled!

First form rejection. Happy they at least let out rejections early on. Congrats to those moving further in the process!

First rejection of the season. Let the games begin!

third rejection. 9 to go. hope waning.

Rejected via email. Fiction.
