Michigan rejection just came.

Michigan is starting to send out rejections, I see. Nervous!

So interesting to hear what you all are studying! My key words are very similar. Specifically, I am interested in apocalyptic thought, myth, and literature and the space they create for individual autonomy and agency to come to light through the loss of socially constructed norms--mainly, the contrast between American Indian (inclusive of all the Americas) thought and Western/American thought--and how they imagine/create new social realities. I am also concerned with pluralism as it relates to underserved populations (especially rural American Indian communities) with regard to cultural preservation/homogenization and education. Related to both of these, I am also interested in the preservation of native languages because of their connection to cultural identity and sense-making structures.

Thanks for the info, Pericles! At least we know not to presume rejections.

Any news from Michigan or Buffalo?

Awesome! Thanks,phigirl!

Way to keep it posi. Hope you're right!

I also just got my Minnesota rejection this afternoon. Bummed.

So exciting! Best of luck, ahaidaris!

Good point. Oh well, guess I'll just sit back and wait for the rejection. At least it seems earlier this year.

It's so weird that no one has reported an acceptance from Minnesota--only wait lists and rejections. Anyone have insight on that?

Anyone else apply to Buffalo? My application status just changed to complete. No change in the review or acceptance boxes, though.

My app is still the same, but I'm just as obsessed, so I'll be sure to post the minute it changes. ; )

arglooblaha, thanks for sharing the info! They asked for my CV too, and I thought I had just overlooked something and forgotten to send it--even though I'm OCD about this whole thing... I'll cross my fingers for us both!!

I know how you both feel! I have a bad feeling about Minnesota... But I think just getting one response, even if its negative would make me somewhat less frantic.

It seems like Minnesota is late January for people who are initially accepted (I'm kinda stressing that one, too), late Jan-Feb for Michigan, and mid-late Feb others.

Yes, ahaidaris, I'm also curious about how you heard, etc. Would you mind sharing the details, or have you already posted in the results?

Congrats, Saluki! Did you add that to the results page yet? That's really super.

I applied to UMinn, UMichigan, SUNY Buffalo, Washington State, and Montana State . . . also obsessing over the results page.
