It has been a little silent, but I've heard from UCSB (got accepted), and just had an interview with Washington Seattle. No news from the others.

I think Rutgers has already made up their mind. I emailed them, and Ed Cohen (the grad director) said, "we are going to admit at most 3 students." And I think they are not going to pick any international students, because he underscored funding issues. I got accepted at UCSB. The department has recommended me for admission and the graduate division has to now get back to me with a letter and funding details. Also, I wrote to all the schools I applied to for an update. Try doing that!

I think there's an update on the main page (GradCafe) about an interview with the African American Studies And Women, Gender, And Sexuality Studies at Yale. The waiting period is extremely difficult. But I hope each of us are able to get whatever we have worked towards. got to know, informally, that I am not going to be moving forward in the admissions process at Rutgers because they only want to admit 2-3 students, and having an international student is apprently expensive for them, this year.

@JElla, I understand! But I don't think anyone has gotten an offer yet, it is still quite early!! I hope you get in, and don't have to think about this again! All the best, everyone.

Update from UW-Seattle: "We plan to notify all applicants by early to mid-February whether they have been selected for a Zoom interview." Urgh, I am so done waiting. Feeling the pressure of it all.

Hello everyone! If anyone has applied to UCSB, it might be wise to contact the grad coordinator Prof Richardson. I heard back about an interview.

Hello, @JElla! UW and Rutgers haven't gotten back. I don't know much about UW but I've heard and read that Rutgers sometimes conducts interviews with shortlisted applicants. However, they're also known to give an offer without an interview. I reached out to Professor Kyla Schuller at Rutgers, whom I've been in touch with, for updates. If I get any, I'll let y'all know. Ciao!

Hello, I am an international applicant. I have applied to around 7 WGSS/Feminist Studies programs in the states. I have been invited for an interview at Stony Brook and Indiana so far. Waiting to hear from the rest!
