  1. I just got in off the waitlist at Rutgers. will probably reject and go to Berkeley rhetoric but am waiting on my BF to get decisions from CUNY and columbia. funding was also better at berkeley
  2. hi, so I would choose those over Berkeley because I don’t like the west coast lmao and also because I felt like WGSS would be a better fit for me than Rhetoric. however, I just got rejected from Emory and will probably not get admitted to Rutgers off the waitlist so this decision will likely be made for me (though I also got admitted to Tufts English and waitlisted at Yale Philosophy). in the past few weeks though I’ve realized that Rhetoric is a really good fit for me because it’s even more interdisciplinary that WGSS which fits my project better. also my BF got admitted to San Francisco State so that’s a plus since he’s for sure coming with me. Rutgers WGSS is a really good program so you shouldn’t worry too much about getting a job as long as you do well/get publications etc! being in an interdisciplinary field does make things harder but if you wanted job security above all else I’m sure you wouldn’t be applying to grad school n.n also we really don’t know what the market will look like in 6-8 years. maybe we will live under feminist authoritarianism and they’ll need WGSS phds to run shit etc. maybe a far right administration will dissolve all gender studies programs as has happened in other countries! I’m not worried about placement because I don’t want to go into academia (I want to be a librarian) I’m just trying to have a good time and have health insurance
  3. finally got my rejection from Emory uwu RIP congrats to those admitted/waitlisted. not feeling too bad cause of my berkeley admission but still I feel so bad I wasted so much time and had to go through the interview process
  4. Congrats! A grad student told me the faculty are still deliberating on the waitlist. Are you/other admitted people planning on accepting?
  5. seems like someone got a call from emory today! congrats to whoever you are! I guess I gotta nervously clutch my phone for another day!
  6. can someone update when/if you get the call from Emory? It’s like 6 pm in Atlanta already and they said Tuesday. I assume rejections and waitlists are getting emails instead
  7. That’s me! I guess they said the same thing to both of us lmao? shady as hell imo!
  8. I wasn't. The grad director told me during my interview that they aren't interviewing many people (and not all admitted will get interviews) and that they didn't know exactly how many they would admit. She told me she only interviewed me because while she was very impressed with my application she had a specific and technical question about it.
  9. FYI for people waiting on Rutgers the director said that we would know "in a week" last Monday. Also Emory decisions will be out a couple days after the interviews so probably like Tuesday next week or around there. That includes waitlist too.
  10. Hi, I'm the person who got in (with interview) and reported it. I think most decisions are out, including waitlist. I say this because the graduate director told me that they had a good selection of admitted students this year so I assume they already know who they are and have been notified and also some people on the waitlist have been notified too. Sorry . It's my only yes so far (waiting on Emory and Rutgers, which I would probably pick over Berkeley).
  11. Hi, that's me. I'm also a finalist for Emory and got an interview at Berkeley's rhetoric program. I'm concerned now that most people get into Rutgers without an interview? Be real-- is the fact that I got one a bad sign?
