praxismakesperfect Posted January 10, 2014 Posted January 10, 2014 I'm curious -- has anyone else here applied to African-American Studies programs this year? I applied to a few (Northwestern, Yale, UT), as well as a few American Studies programs (@ Minnesota & UMich) and Cultural Anthropology at Duke. What about you guys?
junotwest Posted January 10, 2014 Posted January 10, 2014 African American studies @ Yale and Northwestern. American Studies @ Purdue. I applied to history @ Northwestern originally but a prof called and asked if I would like to apply to the Afam studies department instead.
nawa Posted January 21, 2014 Posted January 21, 2014 I'm hoping that the popularity of this thread reflects the number of people applying to AAAS programs! haha-- doubt it
Freedom2014 Posted January 24, 2014 Posted January 24, 2014 PhD: Applied to AA Studies at Northwestern and Harvard... and History at WashU, U of Mich, Columbia, and UNC.
piquearabesque Posted February 5, 2014 Posted February 5, 2014 (edited) Harvard, Yale, Brown, and Columbia (the MA). Good luck to everyone! Edited February 5, 2014 by piquearabesque
jhsting32 Posted February 6, 2014 Posted February 6, 2014 I applied to three AFAM Master's programs - UCLA, Ohio State and Wisconsin of which I'm still waiting to hear back from. I was accepted into the History program at NC State.
LexHex Posted February 11, 2014 Posted February 11, 2014 (edited) I applied to Georgia State for Af Am Studies and Clark Atlanta for Africana Women's Studies. Their deadlines aren't until March 1st, so I'm gonna be waiting. I also applied to North Carolina A&T for African American Lit, also. Edited February 11, 2014 by LexHex
Zabaar Posted February 11, 2014 Posted February 11, 2014 Is the person who posted the Harvard admit active on this forum? I also received an acceptance and it would be nice to get in touch with one another!
Peter Frampton Posted February 12, 2014 Posted February 12, 2014 (edited) So, to anyone who is applying to Brown: how do you check your application status on the website? Does the graduate school use a site external to applyweb? Congrats on the acceptances, by the way! Edited February 12, 2014 by Peter Frampton
piquearabesque Posted February 13, 2014 Posted February 13, 2014 (edited) Peter: Based on previous results, it seems like Brown sends you an email that redirects you to the website. Maybe Nawa has some more information? Edited February 13, 2014 by piquearabesque
trapscholar Posted February 14, 2014 Posted February 14, 2014 anyone else here with a Brown acceptance? I'm really excited yet bummed at the silence from harvard aka implied rejection
piquearabesque Posted February 14, 2014 Posted February 14, 2014 @trapscholar: Congrats on Brown! Did you post your acceptance in the results section of the forum? Also, you may have been waitlisted by Harvard. Don't give up yet!
trapscholar Posted February 15, 2014 Posted February 15, 2014 @trapscholar: Congrats on Brown! Did you post your acceptance in the results section of the forum? Also, you may have been waitlisted by Harvard. Don't give up yet! Thanks!!! I posted my acceptance on feb 12. I'm hoping harvard takes longer to decide on international students, or i've been waitlisted. Anything but a dreaded rejection!! I'm very grateful for brown though. Good luck to you!

Anything but a dreaded rejection!! I'm very grateful for brown though. Good luck to you! I love that your user name is trapscholar. I take it that you're interested in cultural studies, particularly hip-hop?
trapscholar Posted February 15, 2014 Posted February 15, 2014 I love that your user name is trapscholar. I take it that you're interested in cultural studies, particularly hip-hop? Actually my research focus is on the spatial imperatives of death and catastrophe in the afrodiaspora, with focus on the americas. You're right about me being positively obsessed with all things hip hop though! My friends nicknamed me trapscholar because of my somewhat unapologetic approach to academia haha. praxismakesperfect 1
praxismakesperfect Posted February 16, 2014 Author Posted February 16, 2014 Congrats on Brown! Your research sounds really interesting!
trapscholar Posted February 16, 2014 Posted February 16, 2014 Congrats on Brown! Your research sounds really interesting! Thanks! Congrats on UT Austin and Minnesota btw
DST9 Posted February 23, 2014 Posted February 23, 2014 The waiting game is no fun lol. Congrats to everyone with acceptance letters! Did anyone get into their dream school yet?
lmb23 Posted February 25, 2014 Posted February 25, 2014 Have applied to 12 schools (English, African American studies, and American Studies programs) and haven't been accepted anywhere yet, unfortunately. The beginning of last week was a hot mess -- 3 rejections in 24 hours. Rough. 5 rejections total. By some magic, I did get an interview at UPenn though! I think it went well, but I'm not sure what will happen AND THE ANTICIPATION IS KILLING ME!
MsWuff12 Posted February 25, 2014 Posted February 25, 2014 Has anyone heard from Yale's English/African-American Studies program?
MsWuff12 Posted February 25, 2014 Posted February 25, 2014 I applied to three AFAM Master's programs - UCLA, Ohio State and Wisconsin of which I'm still waiting to hear back from. I was accepted into the History program at NC State. Yay! My Alma mater! Great school!
__mam Posted February 26, 2014 Posted February 26, 2014 I applied to NYU (Africana Studies MA) and Columbia (African American studies MA) programs. The wait is killing me :-/
