this just made me cackle out loud LOL

@k8coms Thanks for the UCSD update! I have also been hearing that UCs system-wide are... having some problems re: grad admissions following the end of the recent strike. I wouldn't be surprised if that pushed things back for depts across the board, unfortunately. I also saw the UMich acceptance. Congrats to whoever that is! Nothing in my inbox/portal either ?

Augh, me too haha. I'm so impatient. From what I can tell WGS programs generally release decisions later, so I'm not too worried yet, but aughhhh the waitingggg. I wish you luck!!

This thread is so quiet! How are folks feeling as we wait for decisions? (Since I don't think many, if any, programs have sent out info yet.)

Woah, this is really interesting! I haven't looked at the data since they updated it with 2022's information. There is a possibility it's a fluke, but if you look at the enrollment section next to the admissions one, the current enrollment is listed at 23 compared to 30 in 2021 (I counted using the 23 US + 7 INTL numbers). Also under "milestones" it looks like 5 degrees were handed out. 2 people dropping out of the program doesn't seem impossible, unfortunately. Regardless, if this is all true, a 0% yield seems wild and could prove for an unconventional year.

UMich/UCSD/UPenn solidarity! Good luck to both of you as we await results ?

Hi everyone! Just chiming in to commiserate about not hearing anything yet. I applied to three comm programs (+ other programs in other fields) at UPenn, UMich, and UCSD. I'm not too worried based on previous years' trends, but augh the wait is killing me!

Hi folks! Just wanted to say hi and wish everyone the best of luck in the coming weeks/months. I'm a first time (PhD) applicant straight out of undergrad with a degree in sociology, but only two of the programs I'm applying to are soc (both of which are on the west coast). Heard nothing so far yet but based on previous years that's to be expected. Super nervous but trying to channel that energy positively! (If anyone is curious, my research interests are in the realm of gender/sexuality, culture, ethnography, and health/illness.)
