Update: got my rejection from UMN American Studies. Now clinging to my last local PhD option, UMN Comparative Studies in Discourse and Society.

Lurking no more... I live in Minneapolis and am happy that U of MN AmSt feels like the best fit to me. My BA is also from the U of MN (Gender Studies) and I know a lot of faculty - some as friends /closely connected activists - across relevant departments, including the American Studies DGS with whom I took classes as an undergrad, so I am anxioussssssssss. I had to browse the results about 24 hours ago after logging in to my U of MN American Studies app randomly... and seeing "Decision Made." Wasn't available yet, probably is now ? No email, or call unless I *really* spaced and missed a voicemail. I still don't even have an auto email from the apply yourself system - and when U of MN Feminist Studies rejected me (my home dept but I'm still kicking, they only take 3-4 per year) a couple weeks ago I definitely got one of those. Can't even rant on Facebook or etc, unless I want that DGS to see.
