[Gender/Feminist Studies (Fall 2020)]

Got rejected from UMinn Feminist Studies - I emailed to ask for an update and they updated my status in the portal like 10 mins later. Which emboldened me to reach out to the other 2 I haven't heard anything from, as I just wanna know either way at this point. Good luck to everyone x

The faculty that interviewed me was the grad director, who I had never contacted or mentioned in my SOP. They said they were offering me the interview on behalf of the committee. I had contacted two other faculty members in the department though.

Mine was a faculty member I had mentioned in the SOP, but I hadn't contacted any faculty in the dept.

I got an interview invitation from the grad director of UCSC FMST earlier this week and got it done yesterday. He said I was shortlisted to their top 8 and they'll probably make 3-4 offers around mid-Feb. The decision also involves budgetary information the department has yet to receive, so the funding may shift the final number of offers.

 

Funny how the email said "relatively informal" but it was more formal than one of my other interviews (Anthro). Anyway, he basically dissected my whole SOP. I did my best, so we'll see. I'm a bit somber because I received my first rejection last night ? It was from the Anthro dept ^ from which my POI interviewed me 5 days after my app submission because she was so impressed...so I'm disappointed. Sigh. Anyway thanks for listening. 9 more decisions to wait on...

Same here! Got it done this past Tuesday the 21st - my interviewer also mentioned the thing about the budgetary decisions, they said they won't release the acceptances until they get the funding and won't accept anyone they don't get funding for. So... that's good and ethical, also stressful! Fingers crossed for both of us :)
