ccongrats on the UT admit!! any details if active on this forum??

@HeidiBobine I reached out to people for only 3 of the 10 I applied to. I was just wondering yesterday too how important it is for admissions. I assume that it's probably helpful, especially if that school is a good fit for you, but not totally necessary. I guess we'll find out

@BionicKris hey!! i feel you. i keep checking this forum, looking at the board and previous forums to see when people heard back, signing on to all my applications just in case lol. the wait is so intense. UT is also my top choice

@HeidiBobine I always check this is so nerve wracking. I don't know how I'm going to deal with anyyything when February comes. Also, I applied to UPenn too! I knew they did interviews but I didn't know they let people know this month

@Undercommonerand congrats on finishing!!

From what I have learned from looking at past years, UT Austin gets back to people pretty early (like end of January) and a lot of schools get back to people in mid/end of February. I think some will get back to us in March, especially when people waitlisted. I feel like Columbia may look at apps before, but will most likely wait until the deadline before they start really going through it all and responding

Hi! Sounds good. Less competition would be so nice!!!; I have a feeling it's probably the same amount as usual. What are your research interests??

Hi!! I am so happy that someone finally replied to this thread!! I was like I guess I'm the only one applying this year lol. But I think come next month when people are waiting and wondering there will be more people. My general research interests are transnational feminism/ black diaspora feminisms; politics of race and beauty/ afro-latinx identities. What are your research interests?

hi everyone. I am mostly applying to African Diaspora studies programs but I am applying to USC American and Ethnicity studies as well as NYU American Studies for PhD programs. still in undergrad, so applying to go straight through.

Hi All! Anyone else applying to Africana studies (or African-American or Diaspora studies) programs for Fall 2016? If so, which schools? I am applying to doctoral programs: Brown (Africana Studies), Cornell (Africana Studies), Harvard (African American Studies), NYU (American Studies), Northwestern (African American Studies), UC Berkeley (African American, African Diaspora Studies), UPenn (Africana Studies), USC (American Studies), UT Austin (African Diaspora Studies), Yale (African American Studies + Anthropology)
