any updates on usc as&e?

i am not sure how that works. i know in previous years only a couple people were formally admitted into the program. i have plans to talk with Paula Moya soon to ask questions about the program. I can definitely see about the admissions process and available spots. i believe the recruitment event is scheduled for april 4th and 5th.

bummer indeed

it seems nyu has made some calls ... congrats to those who got a ring! (no pun intended, seeing as it is the day of 'love')

Thank you! Ohh, no...it wasn't me, unfortunately. I was just asking to give me a better idea about where I stand...which I'm guessing is not very good lol To clarify, by Berkeley I mean Ethnic Studies, not Rhetoric....sorry for the confusion! And congratulations on Rhetoric! I have a good friend in that program and he seems to really enjoy it.

Thank you for the insight! Good luck to you as well! I always thought February to be a depressing month (valentine's)...graduate admissions has taken it to a whole new level....talk about heartbreaks :/ I talked with a friend who recently got his Ph.D. from UCLA...he gave some good advice I would like to share: Do not dwell on the rejections. We deserve to be in a program that supports us and the work we want to do. If a school did not see us a "good fit," then perhaps they did us a service. I am not sure how to update the whole accepted/rejected list people seem to have below their comments...so here is mine: accepted: uci, uc berkeley no rejections....yet (though I anticipate a few already)

Hi everyone! Happy to have found this thread.... For NYU's Amer Studies -- Is an interview an indicator of whether one got in or rejected from the program? Or at least that you are being seriously considered? Stanford's MTL -- Any news on this? I've heard that only two people have been accepted in previous years ... the statistics are frightening T_T USC's American Studies & Ethnicity -- Any news? Michigan's American Culture -- ? The suspense hurts.
