Dream program. WL by email. If you are accepted and planning on declining, please consider declining quickly; it would really relieve a lot of stress for me.

Joint English/WGS program. 3a/5r/1w/3p

1a/1w/10r/0p Aaaaand that's a wrap! This concludes my admissions season. This was rough...I guess my decision is easy.

Received a letter stating they would not be accepting doctoral students for the Fall 2021 cohort due to COVID-19; remaining an adjunct still looking pretty good right about now; 0a/6r/1w/2p

Nice and personal email from director. Waitlisted for funding but accepted into MA. This is my only choice because I cannot leave the area so if you have other offers/don't want the position help a guy out!!!!

Status changed to "waiting approval by PAO."

A polite, generalized e-mail rejection citing numerous applicants this year.

TTPB: I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but Harvard sends typically sends their rejections a week or so after they send acceptances / waitlisted. So for those of us still waiting to hear, we are likely waiting on a rejection. (But let's hope I'm wrong!) Best of luck, everyone.

1a/1w/5r/2p

with Rackham Merit Fellowship; email detailing offer and funding schedule (6 years funding)

Interviewed with them in late Jan. They made it sound informal/casual beforehand and in reality it really wasn't very!

1a/6r/2p... Such an insane cycle! Congrats to those who have been accepted!

1a/9r. My sense of admissions this year, aside from bigger pools and fewer slots, is that committees played it really conservatively. I'm guessing if you don't have a direct connection to faculty then chances are much lower. I'll be really curious to see how future years play out what with all the changes this year.

Short email informing me that out of over 300 applicants I was rejected

Got an email. That puts my at 0a/6r/4p Guess I'm just not competitive. Any advice on people being accepted?

this was the best fit and 3rd rejection i've received. said they received 300 applications this year.

Probably the nicest rejection letter I've received so far at least. 0a/8r/0w/1p
