Ethnic Studies Fall 2020

[Blackbird7]

Any of you guys out there? Any updates/questions...

I applied to Berkeley, UCSD, and UCR's Ethnic Studies PhD programs - no word yet! Fingers crossed.

For anyone who might be interested, I was notified by the department that decisions for UC Berkeley Ethnic Studies will be sent out next week.

Cool! I applied to UCSD and UCR. No word yet on my part but I saw one acceptance on results page for UCSD...

Also, I know someone who was recently offered admission to UCR for Ethnic Studies. Not me.

I see. Well, I am still hopeful! Any news yet for you? 

[soupnazi]

No word from UCR or UCSD yet! Berkely was a no, but I have one acceptance elsewhere (diff program), so I'm a little less stressed. Haha. You?

That’s cool. No word yet from either program either. I thought I’d be more calm about this whole process but oh my goodness the waiting is rough!

Still keeping me fingers crossed for us! In this case, no news is better than bad news, right? I mean, even if offers have been made, we could be on a short list of alternates if we've yet to get rejections from these programs! ?

Also, maybe Berkeley rejected me because I typed too quickly above and dropped an E? ?

My exact thoughts! I am still hopeful and now kinda simmered down to a pensive patience I can endure:) Good luck!

Hey so I contacted UCSD and they said that their final decisions will be out in approx a week from yesterday. I am still hopeful! I didn’t email UCR but I might if they keep us waiting too long:) 

[soupnazi]

Nice! Thanks for the update! UCSD's app deadline was so late, I'm sort of surprised that we might hear from them before UCR! I'm waiting to hear from Stanford also, and their deadline was about a month before UCSD. There's no making sense of these things, I guess.

Maybe UCSD and UCR are sending out financial package details along with admissions decisions, and that's what has caused the delay? I was offered admission at UCI a couple of weeks ago, but still have not received a written, official financial package yet! I was told by a POI at UCLA that, at this point, all UCs are sort of scrambling to figure out their funding, sooooo... I'm cautiously optimistic for us!

I've bitten all my nails off in anticipation. ?
