jenny67 Posted December 27, 2019 Posted December 27, 2019 Anyone apply to Gender/Feminist Studies (Fall 2020)/ hear from programs? Plshelp 1
Plshelp Posted December 30, 2019 Posted December 30, 2019 I did! I haven’t heard back from any of them yet though.
femstudies Posted January 7, 2020 Posted January 7, 2020 I've heard back from Ohio State (Quick rejection), but nowhere else yet... Anxiously checking my emails every day!
salterinthepark Posted January 8, 2020 Posted January 8, 2020 I applied to UC Santa Cruz. They're the only program I applied to (for a lot of reasons). I haven't heard back yet. Will share when I do!
rnmorro2 Posted January 9, 2020 Posted January 9, 2020 Still waiting from Emory, UCSC, UCLA, WashU, and Ohio State. I been going crazy y'all lol
HanyeOliver Posted January 9, 2020 Posted January 9, 2020 still waiting and I apply for about 10 programs of gender studies, including master and PhD. No reply and still waiting. is there anyone receive any email for interview?
Plshelp Posted January 10, 2020 Posted January 10, 2020 Update: I was rejected from Ohio State today. Still waiting to hear back from 2 programs.
lkaitlyn Posted January 12, 2020 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
TerrySoc Posted January 14, 2020 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.
lkaitlyn Posted January 14, 2020 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 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
noneckmonsters Posted January 15, 2020 Posted January 15, 2020 I got an interview invitation today! Make sure you are picking up your phone!!!!

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. Edited January 16, 2020 by soupnazi
soupnazi Posted January 16, 2020 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

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?

femstudies Posted January 17, 2020 Posted January 17, 2020 I'm so excited for those getting calls and interviews but also soooo jealous! The waiting is excruciating!

Universities of California take a bit longer than other schools. I doubt you'll hear back till at least the end of the month... almost there... soupnazi 1

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. ?
masthana Posted January 18, 2020 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...
HanyeOliver Posted January 19, 2020 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!
