I had that exact same experience with the  Oregon and Washington emails that day! Was first so mad (especially because the teaching application for Oregon was so much extra legwork) and then pleasantly confused by the Washington email. I feel like the UW sexual misconduct declaration could have been just part of the application for everyone to streamline things, or at the end of the process when they're actually selecting people, but whatever. It also is directly tied to hiring employees in the state of Washington (a state legal requirement), so if anyone applied and DIDN'T select that you're interested in the teaching fellowship (or however you phrased it),  then you probably wouldn't have gotten the email. 

[and haha, I love your "I am usually fond of cryptic texts" ?]

Or conversely, if we did select that we are interested in the teaching fellowship and did not recieve the form, then we probably did not get in. ?

Then again, I've heard otherwise on previous threads, and it seems all who've participated in grad cafe forums and are now attending UCI were interviewed. I'm not totally sure what the answer is, but if anyone knows for sure do let us know!

Based on previous years, it looks like interviews are offered over the course of several days.

Does anyone know if UC Irvine interviews everyone who is potentially accepted? Or are some candidates accepted without an interview? I've seen very few of the interview posts on the results board each year.

I've noticed that most of the schools that have released results had late November through early December deadlines. Does anyone think that December 15th deadline schools will release results this week? This is my first cycle, so much of this process is new to me!

One more (Illinois State extended their deadline) but the anxiety is setting in. I keep saying I'm prepared (I applied to fewer schools than normal, it's more competitive than normal, etc.) but it's still worrying. But the prospect of another round of applications (a third one for me if it were to happen) is kind of anxiety-inducing as well.

 

Also some schools admit in weird time scales so hearing nothing doesn't necessarily mean bad news

Does anyone have this same feeling, that the pool will be more competitive than normal? I've been concerned about this as well.

Hi everyone!

I'm new here! This is my first round of applications so I am nervous and of course so uncertain about what this cycle could bring.

I'm interested in law & literature and critical theory. Most of the programs I applied for offer a critical theory emphasis (UCI, Davis, and Berkeley). I am a 7th grade teacher so I spent my winter break finalizing applications, and now I'm trying to shift all of my focus to teaching before admission results come out.

Good luck to everyone!
