I also found out I was accepted this morning-- good luck to all others! Not sure how the notification process works.

Just wondering if anyone has heard anything yet? Notifications were happening around this time last year, so I'm wondering if we'll start to hear soon.

Welp, just as I posted, I got the official email

That's what I was thinking, too Still hoping for one of us to have good news, but it's seeming less likely now

It says "manage" for me

Nothing yet!! At least we can all be anxious here together! ><

That's what I'm wondering, too!

I noticed that too, artlesspredilection! Has anyone heard anything yet? According to past year's timelines, folks usually receive a phone call with an interview invitation the first week of Jan.

We should be hearing back by the end of next week!! good luck to everyone!

Oh thanks for the extra info! I haven't heard anything yet, so not sure what that means :|

I also didn't know there was a first screening. Where did you hear about it?

I am! How's your application process going?

I also waived my right to see the recommendation, so not sure what's on the form. Best of luck to you, aspiringsociologist! Now it's just the waiting game...

Anybody else applying this year?

Congrats on making your decision! Do you mean you decided against going for a PhD at this time? Or just turned down all offers but one?

Oops I just realized that I already knew that, haha. Not sure yet! All the programs can offer really great things and are strong in different ways. I still need to talk to a few more people and am going to sit down and likely make a huge pro/con list and think things through. Riverside has nice weather but I wouldn't mind getting back to the Midwest either!

Congrats on making your decision! Must feel good to know where you'll be next year. I'm still working through my options, but hope to make a decision soon. Are you going to Berkeley for ethnic studies or another program?

I feel like ethnic studies and gender studies often have a lot of intersections and that you shouldn't have a problem in your future application process. Both are invested in examining these larger axes of power and marginalization that, as you said, are often difficult to delink. Also, because both are very interdisciplinary in nature, it would probably only be a strength to have a gender studies lens. Being in an ethnic studies-based MA right now, a lot of the projects of my peers definitely also closely look at gender, sexuality, class, ect. I think as long as you can situate your proposed project within an ethnic studies framework and explain why you're approaching your project through that dept. and how it would help you reach your goals, you shouldn't be discouraged from applying!

Congrats on the waitlist, that's fantastic news! Though I imagine that'll just make your decision a bit more difficult...

Congrats to those who got acceptances!!

Oh if you want to do that, then click your name in the upper right corner, click 'my settings' and then on the left side of the page it should say 'signature' and you should be able to edit it and add whatever you want. Best of luck, though! I guess tomorrow might be the big day for Brown?? Hope someone will hear some good news!

crisoch, how many are you still waiting on??

YAY CONGRATS, that's great news!!! Happy you have something to work with ^^ And please do let us know if you hear anything about NYU.

I totally ate comfort food today to nurse my sadness over likely rejections haha. Oh whale! Hoping for good news for y'all from Harvard! Can't believe they still send via snail mail, that wait will be killer.

Wah, guess we'll all know soon enough!! Good luck to all. Thanks for letting me know crisoch!
