Just want to give an update here for you all that I received a rejection email from the grad coordinator today. Hugely bummed but I’m hoping for good things for others!! Good luck!

Tysm for sharing this!!

I've been loosely following the Asian Studies mess also and though I'm not quite certain why it occurred, it seems that the department has decided to skip a cohort and to not return app fees. I assume it has to do with covid, not enough apps (as you say), etc. Last I spoke to the grad coordinator, one month ago to the day, she made it sound as though our apps were still under review and that we should be expecting decisions in "early april." There was no indication that our apps are no longer being considered or that GRSJ is not taking on new students this year but I sincerely hope this is still the case and that we won't end up in a similar situation to those who applied to Asian Studies... fingers crossed and sending you all good luck too! Edit: just saw the recent post in the results feed and it looks like Asian Studies applicants did finally receive refunds, my apologies!

Just making a thread here for applicants to share thoughts and decisions... I am an applicant to the PhD program but haven’t heard anything yet... anyone else??

I was one of the commenters on the results page!! still nothing from UCSD, but tagging myself in here for updates

im sorry to hear that... I did check but the status info section remains empty... I will email the department and see what happens ah omg

I applied to this program, but have not heard anything... is anyone else still waiting? Feeling quite negatively about getting in but...
