I received an email from a professor who had read my application and was excited about my research ideas. It's nothing official but it seems like a good sign. Laura

I would love to go somewhere out of country but with a partner and kids, and being low-income, it's pretty much economically impossible.

I promised myself I would put applications out of my mind once they were submitted but I find that I am obsessing more and more each day and I still have possibly months to wait. Also, The longer it goes the more convinced I am that I wont be accepted anywhere. Anyone else feeling like this?

Awesome! When will you be going?

Yep, mine say the same thing. I think they say it to everyone.

Nope, I was in a women's chorus :-) guess again. I totally think you are lying about loving cheese...

I'm sorry to hear that. :-( You know, now that you bring it up, I didn't focus on the importance of my work in my applications. Hmmmmmm

Anyone interested in playing a get-to-know-you game? How about 2 truths and a lie? We'll each say three things about ourselves and then everyone else has to guess which one is the lie. I'll start. I love to bake I used to breed pythons I used to sing in a women's chorus

Thanks!

I'm not sure what you're asking, could you clarify? Is your main goal a gender studies degree but you are wondering about going for a different program with certification if you don't get in? I guess that usefulness of that would have a lot to do with your long-term career goals.

Thanks for letting me know, I'll move over there :-)

I am also applying to WGSS programs. I've applied to UCSB, UCSC, Rutgers, Ohio State, KU, and UT Austin. Still working on ASU, Oregon State, and SDSU. My goal is a Ph.D. program but I've applied to a few MA programs as well including Oregon State which is my "safety school." I'm actually going to try to put it out of my mind as much as possible but I thought I'd reach out to people in the same boat. By the way, how do you add the signature with the schools and results?

I don't see a thread for people applying to Women's Studies programs. Is there anyone else out there starting the waiting game? I have submitted 6 and have 3 more to finish up soon.
