* Q: For those who've received a rejection email, had you previously received a writing sample request via email? A: No. Just a rejection.
* Q: For those of you who got writing sample requests, have you heard anything? I would think something would have been scheduled or we too would have gotten e-mail rejections. Any thoughts? A: Last year Wayne State scheduled MLA interviews on 12/20. That same day they sent e-mail rejections, presumably to those from whom they had requested writing samples but did not choose to interview. Perhaps they just run a bit late?
* MLA interview scheduled (12/18) (5) Rutgers Asst. Prof., Media Studies
* Rejection email notification 12/18 Please Leave Space for GNU Box. Northern Michigan University (History of Literary Theory)
* Review begins Nov 19
* Dossier request 11/26
* Phone interview scheduled (01/16) UNC-Chapel Hill (assistant prof of literary theory) dept. of english and comp lit
* Deadline: 12/1 Also posted at comparative_literature
* Ack. received by post 12/3 (app. submitted on 11/16)
* Writing Sample request (12/4)*
* EVERYONE received an email asking for one; the committee stated that it neglected to make it mandatory in the posting.
* Actually, I didn't get this sample request; the MLA ad I responded to (downloaded 10/25, not sure if/when it changed) asked for "applications and at least 4 letters of rec." I sent my app, including a writing sample, and received a print confirmation on 11/5, no word since. Anyone in a similar boat?
* I also submitted an application with writing sample back in mid-November and have not received any additional email asking for writing sample etc.
* Same here. I took the liberty of sending a sample ("application materials" was so vague) and just received acknowledgment on the 3rd. My take is that they asked anyone who hadn't originally submitted a sample to then do so. Guess we're lucky that we get first read-throughs!
* I only found out about them wanting a writing sample request through this wiki, never heard from department itself at all. Rushed a publication to them that I could literally pull out of a drawer in my campus office and post to them asap, since I had no idea how far along they were in their deliberations. Maybe I should have taken the time to add additional samples...
* MLA Interview scheduled, 12/12 (3 people)
* To the interviewee: were you asked specifically for a second writing sample? Had you sent one initially? Also, would you mind revealing your field?
* How many people have had interview requests so far (and also, if you don't mind revealing your fields in some way that you don't find compromising...?)
* Also, did others have the impression from the MLA ad that the sc was interviewing on-campus, not at MLA?
* I assumed MLA interviews from the ad (I'm the one who had to send in an offprint asap, didn't get contacted for an MLA interview)
* A: I didn't send a writing sample initially, then they e-mail and asked me for one. A few days later, the interview. Rejection letter received (1/18). Note that some of the above confusion is due to the two separate searches - one poco theory, one general theory that UNC listed on the MLA Rejection letter received 1/18 (literary theory)
