Englishtea1 Posted January 26, 2019 Posted January 26, 2019 Hey @rx971! I received the Yale webinar email. Gatorgoddess and kp_87 2
Karou Posted January 26, 2019 Posted January 26, 2019 Hi @rx971 and @Englishtea1, I applied to Yale American Studies as well and did not receive an email, so perhaps you should take that as a good sign! Would either of you be willing to report back on what it was about if you do attend the webinar? Thank you, and best of luck to you! Englishtea1 1
rx971 Posted January 26, 2019 Posted January 26, 2019 @Englishtea1 I'm freaking out about it, I have no idea what it means!!! @Karou Of course! It's happening on Wednesday at 3 so I'll post here then. Karou 1

I’m waiting to hear back from UMD College park, Minnesota, Yale, and UC Davis (cultural studies) I also applied to Davis. The program looks so good! Just saw someone got waitlisted at UNC, which I guess means I'm out. Weird, since I called earlier this week and they said the committee didn't make decisions until the 18th.

Hopefully we'll both get into Davis! Although this program is notoriously difficult to get admitted to (and with subpar funding) socisocisoci 1

Free Annyong Posted January 26, 2019 Posted January 26, 2019 waiting on Penn State. Thanks for starting this thread.
rx971 Posted January 27, 2019 Posted January 27, 2019 Hmm...I'm wondering if it as set out to all minority candidates or all accepted minority candidates? I've seen other threads where people mentioned receiving the e-mail but no two people from the same discipline so far.

I've seen other threads where people mentioned receiving the e-mail but no two people from the same discipline so far. Hmm, well I'm not a minority candidate so that definitely explains why I didn't get the email. That being said, I still think it could be a good sign for those of you that did receive it. I mean it seems strange to take the time to organize a webinar for candidates they have zero interest in, perhaps you're on some sort of shortlist? But who knows how these things work. Wishing you the best either way! rx971, Gatorgoddess, kp_87 and 1 other 3 1
