Anyone heard from Rutgers or UW? I know each program has held interviews for applicants in years prior but I haven't seen/heard anything about either school this season. They are my top programs!

I was worrying about these as well - also my top programs! I checked their websites again, and Rutgers says they will try to notify candidates by early March and UW says by late March/early April. 

 

I don't want to wait that long but it helps me feel less anxious about not hearing anything yet!

No sorry- but UCLA rejected me LOL 

 

What is up with Rutgers? 

Sorry about UCLA. No idea with Rutgers. Just saw someone posted a rejection from UW - I haven't heard from them and nothing has changed on my portal so my fingers are still crossed even though I know they're highly competitive. Rutgers and UW are really putting me through it right now.

what is everyone doing to make decisions if there is not a school visit? 

I'm working with my POI to do individual Skype calls with other faculty + graduate students.

Not ideal but it's the world we live in! ?

By the way, anyone have updates about Rutgers WGS or UCSC Feminist Studies??

It's been so long...

Have not heard from Rutgers WGSS or UMN Twin Cities Fem. Studies on my end - 

Try and keep hope- we may have to reach out to them pretty soon since it's less than a month away before the deadline….

I've heard of programs contacting individuals after the 4/15 deadline, so there is always a little hope

Oh wow that could be good news for you! 

I was rejected from UMN Feminist Studies in their first wave of rejections on Feb 5th. If they haven't sent out any acceptances, that could mean you're on their shortlist!

Since I posted that, I accepted an offer from a pretty interdisciplinary Anthropology program. I'm happy where I am and at this rate wouldn't have accepted Rutgers or UCSC if they accepted me :P

Sorry about that. I started it a while back and then found this form instead, but then people still used the other one.

No need to apologize! I wanted to provide the link here in case someone wanted to look at more info on programs :)

Received my official rejection from Rutgers today. I was expecting it, so not terribly upset, but still disappointing. 

 

Still waiting to hear back from 2 schools, but not feeling great about my prospects for getting into a program this year. Best of luck to everyone else still awaiting decisions!

Same for me and Rutgers...

Keep your fingers crossed and keep us posted!
