did anyone else end up attending the yale webinar?? I was expecting a lot more people, but there was only 100 participants...which makes me wonder if maybe there were only a select few people invited...? maybe I'm just trying to get my hopes up lol

I honestly don't think so. I got the email. I think if you got flagged by the Office of Diversity as a "diverse" or "minority" student, you got the email. I don't think it's indicative of anything more.

It's been awfully quiet on here. I wonder why ? Anyone else anxiously waiting to hear back from programs??

hi! Though I'm applying predominantly to Af Am Studies programs, I also applied to a few American Studies programs too. Mostly just anxiously waiting on Brown.

howdy! I'm applying to AAAS/Af-Am and American studies programs. my focus is on contemporary visual artists within the african diaspora. the application process is going okay. I feel very fortunate to have so many folks willing to read my statement and writing sample and offer valuable feedback. Currently, I'm in the process of finishing my writing sample (I chose to write something from scratch) and editing my statement. I'm also taking the GRE next week, so fingers crossed on that one. Program Choices: Brown (American), Northwestern (African American), University of Pennsylvania (Africana), and Harvard (AAAS) what about you @Klonoa

do you mind my asking how you were able to secure funding for Columbia's MA program? I really want to get into their program (with the hope that their recent expansion of IRAAS will mean they'll have a doctoral program in the near future, fingers crossed) but am concerned about how I could possibly fund any MA program.
