Just got my Yale rejection, official end of the PhD application season for me. I'm applying to some MA programs and hoping for the best there, and will most likely hop back on the PhD horse once I finish up my MA, but it's feeling real shitty right now LOL. Best of luck to everyone else this season, I'll be cheering you all on!!

@bgt28 @LanaFan best of luck to you both!! I've been on the edge of my seat for days, hoping we all get some good news soon!

My waiting is just down to Yale now, WGSS combined with Eng, so it all feels very down to the wire. How are you?

Just got my UConn rejection : ( just waiting on Yale now, really regretting not applying more places but working a job, TAing and going to school made this season really get away from me

@cre25 Feeling the same way as a fellow WGSS focus 😭 trying to hold out hope but it's starting to get grim

Just found this thread as I've been falling into the anxiety spiral that is mid-February, trying to keep my head up! Hope everyone else is doing better than I am lol

First rejection of the season Really sucks, but Amherst wasn't the best research fit out of all my schools. Didn't apply to too many places b/c my focus isn't super common, might try to apply to some UK schools that have more specified programs– coping with rejections through more applications, LOL.

Just saw my first change in an application portal– Amherst took away the Awaiting Decision - Under Program Review that's been taunting me these last few weeks, changed to Decision Pending. No news either way yet, but I'm at the point where I'm just glad to see that something is happening after seeing so many people hearing back!

@TheDigitalHumanist Thank you so much for the info! I haven't seen much about their process anywhere on here, this was a huge help!

Hi everyone, hope you're all doing well! Has anyone heard of UMass Amherst doing interviews at all? Haven't seen anything with any results for them since ~2013, has me biting my nails LOL!
