LiminalSpaces Posted November 14, 2024 Posted November 14, 2024 (edited) Hi Everyone! I'm starting this thread so we can share information about the upcoming PhD cycle. We got this! Edited November 14, 2024 by LiminalSpaces wrong year bgt28 and Kiamia 1 1
Kiamia Posted November 18, 2024 Posted November 18, 2024 Hey hey! UK applicant here! I’ll be applying to 4 WGSS programs (Rutgers, Emory, Stony Brook & Yale combined with Anthro). This is my first cycle. Where is everyone applying? bgt28 1
bgt28 Posted November 18, 2024 Posted November 18, 2024 (edited) @Kiamia Ditto on Yale Combined WGSS, but I'm doing it with AfAm Studies. Best of luck to us both, as that is for sure a dream program! Edited November 18, 2024 by bgt28 Kiamia 1
bgt28 Posted November 18, 2024 Posted November 18, 2024 Needless to say, I'm already losing my absolute mind. It's atrocious how anxiety makes time slow down as opposed to speeding it up lol.

bevjer03 Posted November 25, 2024 Posted November 25, 2024 Good luck to everyone applying! It’s exciting to see the diverse programs and combinations being pursued. The anxiety is real, but we’ve got this - one step closer to the dream! bgt28 and Kiamia 2
Kiamia Posted December 12, 2024 Posted December 12, 2024 How’s it going for everyone? Did you get your apps in on time? I ended up rethinking Emory and adding Michigan after speaking to a grad student who recommended the course. Location definitely changed that decision as I’m mainly applying to places Midwest/east coast. Also, I had a nightmare with one of my recommenders not responding at all at the last minute so I had to rush to find a cover. Two more to go now for me. bgt28 1
bgt28 Posted December 13, 2024 Posted December 13, 2024 I'm just in the thick of the waiting game. It's almost January though
bgt28 Posted December 17, 2024 Posted December 17, 2024 Congratulations to the UMD - College Park Women's Studies PhD admittee! ✊🏽
Kiamia Posted January 11 Posted January 11 I received an interview invite for next week for Stony Brook! I’m very happy but also surprised as I wasn’t expecting to hear back until later this month. Has anyone heard anything from their apps? bgt28 1
bgt28 Posted January 11 Posted January 11 @Kiamia congratulations! I hope the interview at Stony Brook goes well! Radio silence on my end. 💀 Kiamia 1

Hoping you get some good news soon too! What other programs did you apply to as you only mentioned one WGSS program above? bgt28 1
bgt28 Posted January 11 Posted January 11 @Kiamia I’ve applied to a variety of departments, 8 programs in total, including English, Comparative Literature, Black Studies, Gender/Sexuality Studies, and Cultural Studies. Kiamia 1

bgt28 Posted January 15 Posted January 15 I totally agree! I think the overabundance of information is stressing everyone out. LanaFan 1
LiminalSpaces Posted February 10 Author Posted February 10 (edited) How is everyone doing, considering the state of the world?🔥 Edited February 10 by LiminalSpaces bgt28 1
chattycoffee Posted February 10 Posted February 10 Just found this thread as I've been falling into the anxiety spiral that is mid-February, trying to keep my head up! Hope everyone else is doing better than I am lol bgt28 1
chattycoffee Posted Wednesday at 11:38 PM Posted Wednesday at 11:38 PM My waiting is just down to Yale now, WGSS combined with Eng, so it all feels very down to the wire. How are you? bgt28 1
bgt28 Posted Thursday at 03:11 PM Posted Thursday at 03:11 PM I'm also waiting on Yale for WGSS combined (with AfAmSt). I have 3 other programs in addition to Yale to hear from, though. I'm halfway there, and not in the way I'd have liked 🤣 chattycoffee 1
LanaFan Posted Thursday at 05:56 PM Posted Thursday at 05:56 PM I'm also waiting on a Yale WGSS combined program, but combined with the American Studies program. chattycoffee and bgt28 2
chattycoffee Posted Thursday at 08:12 PM Posted Thursday at 08:12 PM @bgt28 @LanaFan best of luck to you both!! I've been on the edge of my seat for days, hoping we all get some good news soon! LanaFan and bgt28 2
