lkaitlyn Posted January 12, 2020 Share Posted January 12, 2020 (edited) Ahh! Happy to have found this thread. I was wondering where everyone was! Still waiting on two programs (UCLA, Arizona); heard back from OSU. @HanyeOliver OSU did interviews earlier this week. I don't know if everyone who gets into OSU does one or not, though. I haven't heard about interviews at the other programs I applied to. Edited January 12, 2020 by lkaitlyn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TerrySoc Posted January 14, 2020 Share Posted January 14, 2020 Hey, y'all, hope everyone's not too anxious waiting for a response. I'm just wondering if anyone actually applied to UCLA Gender Studies program and if you have received any response from them? Cuz I've sent like 2-3 emails before the deadline, asking for clarification sort of things, but they never got back to me. I figure some of us fellow applicants might have some info on why they are being so silent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lkaitlyn Posted January 14, 2020 Share Posted January 14, 2020 I applied to UCLA and haven't heard back yet. Historically they've notified in late January or early February. They just seem to be one of those departments that stays quiet until decisions are out. If you have a question about an application glitch, I found emailing specific staff members very effective (instead of using their general email address).

whatkilledthedinosaurs Posted January 15, 2020 Share Posted January 15, 2020 Anyone else apply to a joint PhD program at UMichigan? My deadline for Women's Studies & History was December 2nd and I haven't heard anything back yet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Congratulations! Also curious which school ya heard from. I only applied to one GS PhD program (UCLA), but no word yet. However, I'm cautiously optimistic about my odds as my POI warned that the committee tends to prefer a "diverse" cohort in terms of education history.

soupnazi Posted January 16, 2020 Share Posted January 16, 2020 (edited) Also, I'm curious what type of phone number called you--I received two calls from an 800 number, but assumed it was spam. Thankfully, I've at least got an interview scheduled somewhere. Edited January 16, 2020 by soupnazi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It wasn't an 800 number. It registered as MD, but it was College Park, MD. It was some other town. Best of luck to everyone! Also, how are people preparing for potential interviews? Tips?

Universities of California take a bit longer than other schools.

I think I'm just more anxious because UC Irvine invited me for an interview and recruitment day only a week and a half after I submitted my application. I applied to 7 in total, and I'm beginning to regret it because I now have to agonize over receiving each decision! Have you thought about what you'll wear for your interview? I had an outfit in mind, but I have to attend 3 days of events during my recruitment visit. ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
masthana Posted January 18, 2020 Share Posted January 18, 2020 I got an interview invitation from the grad director of UCSC FMST earlier this week and got it done yesterday. He said I was shortlisted to their top 8 and they'll probably make 3-4 offers around mid-Feb. The decision also involves budgetary information the department has yet to receive, so the funding may shift the final number of offers. Funny how the email said "relatively informal" but it was more formal than one of my other interviews (Anthro). Anyway, he basically dissected my whole SOP. I did my best, so we'll see. I'm a bit somber because I received my first rejection last night ? It was from the Anthro dept ^ from which my POI interviewed me 5 days after my app submission because she was so impressed...so I'm disappointed. Sigh. Anyway thanks for listening. 9 more decisions to wait on... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HanyeOliver Posted January 19, 2020 Share Posted January 19, 2020 (edited) I apply to UNIVERSITY of WISCONSIN–MADISON MA gender and women's studies. I find that there is one offer in Gradcafe(just one) 12 days ago. SO is there anyone receive decisions from this programs? I think maybe I should not keep any hope for this program...

I also have a three day interview, so I figured slacks and a decent shirt for everything except for the dinner with faculty and grad students. Not sure what I will wear that day, but I feel like I might switch to a skirt or dress with leggings. Would anyone else care to weigh in on this one? Also, best of luck on the interview!
