animegirlfriend Posted February 2, 2019 Posted February 2, 2019 Rejected from UT Austin (MA) and I'm actually surprised. Thought I'd be a good fit. Well, it's not looking good for me this year at all.
needdat Posted February 3, 2019 Posted February 3, 2019 Still waiting on a few GS programs. Waiting is tough. Anyone happen to know the admissions stats for The University of Minnesota? What about UCSC? I wonder if all of their interviewees have heard back yet...

The results page also lists someone getting an interview. Maybe they’re waiting to see if any of them choose other offers. Hmm. Lol uncertainty does awful things to ones imagination.
Anzi Posted February 4, 2019 Posted February 4, 2019 I received acceptance from Arizona State U, anyone heard about their Gender Studies program before?
animegirlfriend Posted February 6, 2019 Posted February 6, 2019 I saw on the results page that someone was on the waitlist at WashU. I haven't received any news from there, so I'm probably just waiting for my rejection. Has anyone heard anything more?

Ou I strongly considered applying there! It seemed like an awesome program. Location wise it was just too far though.

But it is highly unlikely to receive admission since one of my references couldn't write a letter, and I have no means to change the information. Sad, but I wish you could get into!

Oh no sorry to hear about your reference Are you waiting to see other acceptances or pretty set on Arizona?
hdclark Posted February 6, 2019 Posted February 6, 2019 Ahhhh dang, just got a rejection from U. Michigan's Psychology and Women's Studies Joint program. I really liked their program and am a bit disappointed, but fortunately I have other things in the fire! That also hopefully means that their admission announcement will go out soon. Good luck to those still in the running!!

I am not really into York tbh, even I love their faculty pack. The whole school runs with an incredibly low efficiency. Still waiting other schools' response. I hope I could get a better one lol.

The low efficiency comment is what I have been hearing consistently across the board...makes me nervous lol. Yeah me too. Funding would be very nice too!

There are a few people I know who've finished their PhDs and gotten multiple offers from very very good schools in the states, and there are others who dont ( also striking every few years means there are a few more obstacles to contend with). jmc117 1

Very true as well. I am thankful I know (for the most part) what I am stepping into with York should they offer me an acceptance there. I will say that the current student profiles give me hope as there are people doing relatable projects to what I imagine my own would be
stressedimposter Posted February 8, 2019 Posted February 8, 2019 I wrote to UTornoto and I got a reply saying that the admissions committee meets through Feb and they send out results in March mostly. Not sure if that is actually the case or if it is just a standard mail sent to anxious people waiting for results!
formermary Posted February 12, 2019 Posted February 12, 2019 hi everyone! been lurking on this forum for a while. the only gender studies PhD program I applied to was Rutgers. I randomly checked the web portal today and saw that I've been admitted--but under "degree" it now says MA, not PhD. has this happened to anyone? is it normal practice for a PhD program to admit applicants for an MA instead of a PhD?

I am waitlisted but haven't heard anything from them since last week. I hope I can make it. It is (was) my first choice! I hope you made it also! Best,

Thanks for the update and congrats.

Best, I just got this email from the department: In reviewing some of the applications, the Admissions Committee decided that some applications would work best for the Masters, rather than for the Doctoral, Program. if you have been notified that you have been accepted into the Masters Program, then, yes, you have been considered for and accepted to matriculate into that Program only. So, they admitted me for the MA instead of the PhD. Very weird because I applied for the PhD specifically! I hope you get off the waitlist for the PhD!

Hi, I just get the access to the portal of my RU application status. I realized I haven't yet provide my financial document nor official transcript, would this affect the committees' decision making?

Anzi Posted February 16, 2019 Posted February 16, 2019 (edited) I received a rejection from British Columbia, which says they got 120 applicants this year and only admit 2-3 people of the total. Good luck! Edited February 16, 2019 by Anzi

I have never heard or seen something like that. And usually, when you apply for a PhD, your proposal isn't set in stone, so it's normal that in the course of your degree, the scope of your topic evolves...
