So happy to see another trans studies applicant here tho!!

Oh god...finding programs to apply to was the most horrible process. I remember York had a few though! I know someone in another program at York which has a lot of the WGSS faculty and they absolutely love it.

I listed them on the first page of this thread. Sorry I just don’t want to type it out again haha ?

I really wanted to but the funding there isn’t the best for international students ?

@gradhopeful96 also how did your OSU interview go? I just finished mine... I was thrown off by the fact that there were 5 faculty members in the call! I didn’t expect so many lol.

I actually only applied to MA programs that had funding (I could only find two). Otherwise, I applied to the PhD. I actually just got accepted to the MA at UW-Madison with 2 years of funding! But I’m really nervous waiting to hear back from the other programs.

I’m applying straight from undergrad! Graduating this May. But, I applied to both MA and PhD programs because I’m nervous that they’ll favor applicants who have more education/work experience.

Yeah! I saw that as well! Hopefully there’s more slots than finalists.

I hope everyone had a great New Year! I’m going crazy waiting. I heard back yesterday from Ohio State WGSS and I am scheduled for an interview next week. Is anyone else interviewing there? I’m hella nervous.

@rude hi! I reached out to most of the professors that I'm interested in working with. I'd say 3/4 emailed me back, which I was surprised about. Did you reach out? I've heard mixed things about it...

hi @CarrierPigeon yup! That's the same letter I got. It's strange because they don't usually send out rejections this early. And I don't see anyone reporting an acceptance on the results page. Oh well.

lol! Just got my first rejection from Minnesota

Hi @alp041!!! I also have just a few applications left (4, all on the 15th). Your programs look awesome...I didn't even know that some of those existed. I'm a current undergraduate at one of the schools whose MA programs you're applying to--feel free to DM me if you want to chat about the school or the fit! I'm applying to both WGSS programs and American Studies, but all have queer/trans studies faculty: The Ohio State University--MA program in WGSS UW-Madison--MA in WGSS University of Minnesota--PhD in Feminist Studies UC Santa Cruz--PhD in feminist studies University of Minnesota--PhD in AMST Yale--PhD in AMST University of Maryland, College Park--PhD in AMST UC Davis--PhD in cultural studies I'm already anxiously counting down the days until I hear back! (while I'm in the midst of finals)...

Hi!! I am applying this cycle. I am STRESSED
