UC Irvine Culture and Theory PhD 2021

[graceful]

Hey everyone - couldn’t find anyone who had applied to this program on any other threads. Wondering if there’s anyone out there who applied and is waiting anxiously for results. This is my top program by far and I’m hoping to head back soon... Feel free to reply if you’re also waiting to hear back!

Hi! 

I also applied to the Culture and Theory PhD program! I haven't heard a peep  No interviews, rejections, nothing lol. Did you?

[graceful]

I’m in the same boat! I guess apps were due two weeks after most other programs so maybe it’ll be a bit longer ?

I hope we hear sometime soon! I actually emailed the contact they gave on the application but haven’t heard anything from them?? It’s weird because all my other apps were due the same time and I had some type of outreach from them. 

the waiting game sucks!!! ?

[graceful]

oh that’s so odd they never replied to you  did you reach out recently? I feel like March is pretty late to get back with any results at all.. but definitely agree the waiting game is making me so anxious! Just want it to be over already ?

I reached out on the 17th of February! It is super late to hear anything, even about interviews or if they received the application. Not sure if I should reach out again because I don't want to seem super annoying! I also saw that the other thread on the admissions updates for the program hasn't been updated since 2015 so its like extra stressful lol

Sadly just heard back and was rejected... Sad!! Hoping you hear better news than I did

[arpas]

I just got rejected as well!! I’m so sorry you had to get that news too  it’s also a bummer to get the annoying standardized email. Sending u lots of solidarity n positive vibes!!
