ooooohhh good luck to everyone. I am just reading this now...

I got notification today! I hope you have good news too to share! My field is Critical Approaches and I wish you all the best of luck.

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Here is an interesting link from one of last year's fellowship winners: http://the-political-ear.com/?page_id=710

Hi! I applied to Critical Human Rights and have not heard back. I understood also that they would ask for official transcripts at a later time from those actually selected as fellows. My estimate based on other years is that the critical window of notification is March 12-15 and after that if you haven't received an email, the chances of being selected drop sharply. I am cautiously hopeful. I learned a lot from the process of preparing the grant itself...and yet I would love to participate as a fellow!!

Fue mi post Sevillano! Gracias! Y que suertazo porque fue las única universidad a que pude solicitar entrada! Ahora me toca prepararme para la entrevista que me dijeron en el email que era informal, pero para no trabarme quiero preparar preguntas! Ojalá que uds ya tengan nocticias pronto!

Anyone else feeling "haunted?" Let's answer the dreaded question and maybe it will stop haunting us quite so much.

Gracias bbbak...sí lo mejor es invertir la energía frenética en otra cosa. A ver si otra gente va apareciendo por aquí en este foro...

You guys are hilarious! 33 minutes until January 21st begins which might just be the day one of us hears something...;o)

Every spare moment that I have is consumed with thinking about this. It sucks, but it makes me feel better that many of us feel the same way. It is stressful and irritating not to have control over such a huge thing in my life. Plus, I have put it all on the line dedicating years of education leading up to this one shot. I'm knocking on the door...somebody please be there to let me in!!

Hola Sevillano, Me interesa la literatura contemporanea latinoamericana, en particular, la novela negra. Me interesa también la crítica feminista. ¿Y tú? La deadline en Madison due el 5 de enero y espero que ya avisen algo luego. ¿Cuándo crees que vas a saber algo?

Hola Sevillano, El dept de UW Madison....el único a que he solicitado entrada

Saludos a todos, Ya entre poco van a empezar a comunicarse los departamentos con nosotros. Yo creo que el dept se reune hoy porque la secretaria del dept me dijo que aunque ya pasó la deadline que los resultados del GRE tenían que llegar para hoy. Por eso a partir de hoy voy a empezar a revisar mi cuenta en la universidad a cada instante. Que loquera

I can't ruminate without a visual, so what do you think? Are they googling us or could they care less because they just got roped into being on the committee? I wish I knew how it all works behind the scenes. Do they just all sit together at a big table one afternoon and go through applications? Do they have online access from home? Any thoughts on this?

I'm 34 and applying to a PhD program. I have experience in the field as a teacher and I am hoping that they will see my age as an advantage.

I'm waiting too. I am specifically waiting for one Prof to send in a LOR which I requested 10/15. I followed-up and she assures me that she'll get it in, but I just don't like having to wait to have the app complete. I just want to make sure it's together and then let fate take over. Ugh. I'm only applying to one program because moving for a PhD program is not an option for me with a couple kidlets and a husband. I already have a good paying job, but just not one that satisfies my soul.
