Has anyone heard anything from Columbia yet (interviews, decisions, etc.)? No news for me–I applied for the sociocultural track.

For anyone who might be interested, I was notified by the department that decisions for UC Berkeley Ethnic Studies will be sent out next week.

Thank you! I was feeling very casual about it for a while, but now I'm beginning to feel some nerves. Of course, they're not manifesting in a productive way; instead, I'm fixating on wardrobe choices. So, that's cool. As far as I know, the decisions are not yet made, but "finalists" have been invited for this recruitment visit/interview thing. Honestly, I was nervous that I might get a rejection right before this recruitment visit and that it would impact my confidence. So, I suppose it's a good thing that I have no news as of yet.

Same! Or refreshing the results page. Also, congrats on your UCI acceptance! I have my interview tomorrow.

Are any of ya'll currently enrolled somewhere? I'm an undergraduate (at UCLA), and I'm finding it SO hard to focus, waiting for these results--especially those coming from UCLA Gender Studies!

I applied to Berkeley, UCSD, and UCR's Ethnic Studies PhD programs - no word yet! Fingers crossed.

I suppose that's true! I think I'm just more anxious because UC Irvine invited me for an interview and recruitment day only a week and a half after I submitted my application. I applied to 7 in total, and I'm beginning to regret it because I now have to agonize over receiving each decision! Have you thought about what you'll wear for your interview? I had an outfit in mind, but I have to attend 3 days of events during my recruitment visit. ?

Also, I'm curious what type of phone number called you--I received two calls from an 800 number, but assumed it was spam. Thankfully, I've at least got an interview scheduled somewhere.

Congratulations! Also curious which school ya heard from. I only applied to one GS PhD program (UCLA), but no word yet. However, I'm cautiously optimistic about my odds as my POI warned that the committee tends to prefer a "diverse" cohort in terms of education history.
