I've learned from a Dean at Yale that their Recruitment/Admit overnight is March 24-25. But doesn't look like anyone has received word of admission yet. So, what I am gathering is that decisions are coming soon, but today wasn't the day? Gatorgoddess 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess we all have to wait until next Friday to hear back...hopefully they admit a lot of people in the program like they did with the history program last week, so we can all have a better chance...good luck everybody!!!

I applied to AfAm/Africana Studies/American Studies and History Programs. I was accepted into UC Berkeley African American Studies program on Feb4th. Interviews took place on Jan 22nd and the Admit Weekend is March 17-18. I know that when I interviewed that it was a shortlist and when I scheduled it there were 20 available times to interview (assuming that there were more time slots available than finalists). I was also interviewed by UPenn on Monday 2/11. The email said that they were impressed by my application and that I had been moved to the third round of the admissions process. The interview was conducted by the 3 POIs I identified in my letter. They said decisions would come out within 2-3 weeks but I feel like it might be sooner. I was also rejected by Northwestern (2/13). I am still waiting on 4 more decisions for AfAm/Africana Studies Programs. Hope this helps. Programs I applied to: History: Princeton (rejected), Duke (accepted), Johns Hopkins (accepted), NYU (waiting, but I think it's a rejection) Af Am: Yale (with American Studies), Harvard, UC Berkeley (accepted), UPenn (interview), Northwestern (rejected, which surprised me lol), UT Austin, and Indiana University, Bloomington (accepted) Gatorgoddess 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't seen anyone post an acceptance yet I didn't get an interview so I'm banking on a rejection from UPenn My interview experience was a bit weird so I'm expecting the worse. When I sent a follow-up email, my POIs kindly responded though. So maybe that's a good sign? They said it would take them 2-3 weeks for decisions to be released, but I doubt it will take that long if it is an acceptance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gatorgoddess Posted February 19, 2019 Share Posted February 19, 2019 @HumanHeatSOC the conference looks good! Unfortunately I have a work conflict. I'll be in NOLA though for the aam (American Alliance of Museums) conference in May. HumanHeatSOC 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gatorgoddess Posted February 19, 2019 Share Posted February 19, 2019 On another note: this waiting is so rough, I've had to increase mindfulness. Currently listening to nature sounds on repeat to calm me down. Also increasing social time, since it also helps keep my mind off the wait. ? kp_87, aqua_sand and magnegresswrites 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
