sadficus Posted March 3, 2021 Share Posted March 3, 2021 Anyone heard back from UC San Diego Ethnic Studies or have thoughts on the matter? I saw the comments on the results page and just wanted to get a thread going in case anyone has further thoughts! 64879_ds 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sadficus Posted March 6, 2021 Author Share Posted March 6, 2021 I got an offer at my top choice institution, so I will not be attending UC San Diego, but if I hear anything I will absolutely let you guys know! I know how awful the wait is, and I hope you all get some peace soon! 64879_ds 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gaelamisocio Posted March 9, 2021 Share Posted March 9, 2021 Hi, everyone. I was tired of waiting so I send an email to teh department and they answered "We hope to have final decisions within the next 10 days." Which feels like an eternity to me haha. Good luck with the wait ! aa11 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aa11 Posted March 12, 2021 Share Posted March 12, 2021 So next week I guess ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hopefulghost Posted March 17, 2021 Share Posted March 17, 2021 Does the commenter who posted the waitlist status with “IGNORE WAITLIST STATUS] have heard from source that admit day has already happened, so safe to say if you haven't heard you're either rejected or waitlisted.” have any additional context to this comment? Or can anyone else confirm they have gotten in? I was surprised to see this and for the rest of us still waiting - I really hope this source is incorrect... Nonetheless, good luck to everyone - hope ya’ll are hanging in there :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gaelamisocio Posted March 17, 2021 Share Posted March 17, 2021 I was also really surprised by this. The email I received last week said "we hope to have our final decision in ten days". In my experience admission committees answer honestly to emails about admission results, it seems crazy to me that they would tell me the decisions have not been made if the admits week-end has already taken place...But maybe this is just wishful thinking. hopefulghost 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gaelamisocio Posted March 17, 2021 Share Posted March 17, 2021 No the person posted the result for UC Santa Diego. If you look for "ethnic studies" you can find it. It was posted on March 15th. hopefulghost and aa11 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No I totally agree! I don’t think they would lie. In my undergrad experience the Ethnic Studies department is filled witch the most kind people! I know that doesn’t necessarily make a difference to admissions but I’m holding more weight towards that email than the anon source based on the facts so far. So the 10 days message does give me some hope too! I also don’t want to put any truth to the other waitlist comment or to cause worry to others until I either hear someone else has actually gotten in already or if that person could come forward and tell us a little more... (and even then they may be wrong!) I’d like to think they’re taking a while because they’re pushing for more funding to accept more of us. It’s so hard but let’s all not give up just yet, friends! gaelamisocio and aa11 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gaelamisocio Posted March 20, 2021 Share Posted March 20, 2021 I GOT AN UPDATE. Well unfortunately I did not get in... I hope some of you did!! I will be accepting an offer at Stony Brook in Sociology Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sadficus Posted March 20, 2021 Author Share Posted March 20, 2021 I got rejected as well, but that’s okay because I already accepted an offer at my top choice, Northwestern. Best of luck to everyone else! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aa11 Posted March 20, 2021 Share Posted March 20, 2021 I was also rejected. I really wanted this one and thought it was a good fit. This admission cycle is over for me now but it’s okay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
