Awesome! Thank you for those links ^_^ The general consensus of my mentors is that my application wasn’t up to snuff in regards to my math GRE scores. But I recently started working with a tutor to bump those up so hopefully that wont be an issue this time around.

I am getting ready to apply for the second time, but this time I really want to make sure I apply to the right programs and that they'll compliment my existing research interests. I'd broadly define my research interests as how the state responds to maintain its hegemonic interests, both in maintaining white supremacy and in the coming climate crisis. My interests also include policing and the criminal justice system as a system of white supremacy and the role the media plays in these systems. Any advice y'all can give in this process would be wonderful!

Has anyone heard anything from Santa Cruz? They’re my number one and it’s been total radio silence so far.

So far I’ve heard from Berkeley and Irvine, both rejections. I’m still waiting on Santa Cruz, Washington, and Connecticut but with two rejections already, I don’t really have high hopes.

Hello! I'm working on finalizing my SoP for applications and would like some additional thoughts on it. I'll be happy to trade thoughts on yours as well! Thank you
