I also was rejected. Congrats to all of the winners!!!! Much deserved and I'm toasting (my stale coffee) in your honor. I just want to give a quick shout out to this thread and to everyone who has been commenting and supporting each other. It was been so helpful to me these last few weeks!!!
I heard from USC-- waitlisted, and waiting to hear about potential fellowship funding. Haven't heard back from any other schools yet. Good luck to you!! I had a dream about getting in too lol!
I don't know why I mentioned NYU American studies lol sorry i actually applied to the Food Studies PhD program at NYU--- Still haven't heard back though. So I'm assuming its a no.
