Yep it hurt a bit.. I got that and Harvard's rejection back to back.. It just sucks that Yale has all the people I really want to work with.

kp_87 Posted February 27, 2019 Share Posted February 27, 2019 Ughhh this sucks I still haven’t received anything yet. I guess the combined program I applied for with African american studies didn’t complete their notifications yet which is why my app is held up smh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

afroamstudiesnerd Posted March 5, 2019 Share Posted March 5, 2019 Hi I've been looking at this forum for a while but just created an account. I am entering Columbia University's MA in African American Studies in the Fall. magnegresswrites 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wish I would have known I wanted to go in this direction when I was younger I give up Dont give up. Maybe another place or another field will work better for you in the future. I was just talking to my undergrad mentor about this.. yale in particular is an example of a school that has hoarded and stocked up on so many talented Black faculty that many of us apply because we have so many people that we could work with and it creates a scarity in other places because of the limited number of Black faculty in other schools. cables and kp_87 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cables Posted March 11, 2019 Share Posted March 11, 2019 @kp_87 I was about to give up but im trying to not see it as about me... I just need to improve my application and define my project more clearly. and I can find a better fit, and perhaps apply to schools that are not "the top". I do wonder about that, as @SpaceMaker was just saying. kp_87 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
