Sorry I just don’t want to type it out again haha ? @stressedandconfused ? Looking back I completely understand why you wouldn't want to type all that out. As an aside, finding Canadian faculty members with interest in Queer/Trans studies was a little like pulling teeth ? Edited January 22, 2019 by jmc117

Oh god...finding programs to apply to was the most horrible process. I remember York had a few though! I know someone in another program at York which has a lot of the WGSS faculty and they absolutely love it.

stressedimposter Posted January 24, 2019 Posted January 24, 2019 Has anyone heard anything about UToronto? They had an earlier deadline than most other programs for WGSS.
cables Posted January 25, 2019 Posted January 25, 2019 got my first rejection! Berkeley ethnic studies ? it didnt feel right anyway though. @stressedimposter I'm applying to UT as well, haven't heard anything .
gradhopeful96 Posted January 28, 2019 Posted January 28, 2019 Hey I saw someone reported an interview to Rutgers...does anyone know if all interview requests went out already?? socisocisoci 1

I don't know about that, but I saw that too. Since that person said Rutgers would be getting back to people by mid-end of February, it sounds like no (or at least I want to believe no).

It said that they were going to hear back by mid-end of February, but I wasn't sure if that was for the shortlist of candidates who already got interview dates?

I am just gonna go straight into denial and pretend maybe there's still a shot or not everyone's been contacted. Someone also posted right before that (who I assume is the same person) about getting an interview from UC Santa Cruz Feminist Studies, which I didn't think did interviews, so its all a bit odd.

Actually, one of my friends (who refuses to use gradcafe) got accepted to Santa Cruz last week. It’s their first year doing interviews. socisocisoci 1

stressedimposter Posted January 29, 2019 Posted January 29, 2019 At this point I am assuming an implied rejection for Rutgers. Sigh.
CarrierPigeon Posted January 29, 2019 Posted January 29, 2019 Yeah, me too-- implied rejection for Rutgers and Santa Cruz.
animegirlfriend Posted January 29, 2019 Posted January 29, 2019 Same about expecting a rejection from Rutgers. I think I was a little over optimistic about getting into a PhD program straight out of undergrad. I will be grateful if I get into an MA program.
Adelaide9216 Posted January 29, 2019 Posted January 29, 2019 Hello, I am considering doing a research exchange in the US during my doctoral studies (I live in Canada). In your opinion, what are the best gender and women's studies department in the US when it comes to the topic of sexual violence (my thesis topic).

Most of my peers who applied (outside of WGSS) have already heard back and been admitted to PhD programs.
alp041 Posted February 1, 2019 Posted February 1, 2019 Whoops, haven't checked this thread in a while... I got my first rejection earlier this month but today I got my first acceptance! I never really pictured myself living in the Midwest but it seems like a great fit and their funding offer was really generous so I am very seriously considering it! I'm applying straight from undergrad (currently in my senior year) so for those of you who are doubting yourselves, don't! It's possible! It seems like the most important factor is the fit of the program, so a nice way to look at it is that at least you'll only get into programs that can support you and all your academic dreams jmc117, stressedandconfused, FeministPhD and 1 other 4
