sillyrabbit Posted February 13, 2015 Share Posted February 13, 2015 Those are great programs! I ended up applying to UC Berkeley for English. I just got their rejection...I'm now wondering if I would have been a better fit for Ethnic Studies...ehhh too late for that now! Welcome to the board! We have a few other ones in common...Brown, Yale, and NYU for Am. Studies...fingers crossed for us! Do you have a top choice program? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhatIsHirability Posted February 13, 2015 Share Posted February 13, 2015 Yes! I'm really excited to visit the campuses but also nervous about the process :/ I'm sorry to hear that, but it's still early! Do you know when those decisions come out (Brown/Yale/NYU)? I don't have a top choice program (yet, but I should), because I've been waiting to know the funding packages. I'm not ready to take out a huge loan for school yet. UCD Cultural Studies barely gives any money to their students. And neither does Berkeley Ethnic Studies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pawnee_IN Posted February 13, 2015 Share Posted February 13, 2015 Hello everyone! I've been a long time lurker around this forum, but haven't had an official account until now. Congrats to the two Brown admits that are up on the results board! Am I correct in thinking that this is a bit earlier than offers have gone out in the past? Does Brown send out all admits at once, or do they send them out in waves? In other words, should I be assuming that I am either waitlisted or rejected if I didn't get an email (and when I log in to the online app it doesn't say anything)? I'm getting a little worried over here! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhatIsHirability Posted February 13, 2015 Share Posted February 13, 2015 Thank you! My heart almost stopped when I opened the letter. It's actually just the application portal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pawnee_IN Posted February 13, 2015 Share Posted February 13, 2015 I was anticipating that offers would come out in about a week and a half, based on the results board from past years. I guess it's possible that they could still be sending out other offers. Fingers crossed! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sillyrabbit Posted February 14, 2015 Share Posted February 14, 2015 Thank you! My heart almost stopped when I opened the letter. It's actually just the application portal. That's awesome! Congratulations! I hope Brown's funding is great (which I am assuming it is), since you mentioned that that was a major concern. Thanks for the info about funding at UC Davis and UC Berkeley Ethnic --that actually makes me feel a lot better. I made it a requirement to only apply to programs with great funding, but I guess I must not have done my research about UC Davis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

InSchoolForever Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 So can I assume that if I didn't hear back from NYU and Brown at this point, I've been rejected? I've noticed in the past they don't send out rejections until weeks after they've send out acceptances. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lucecita Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 Hi everyone, I am a fellow longtime lurker who wanted to introduce themselves. Even though I haven't participated, it's been such a comfort to see others take part in the application process. Congratulations to all the admits Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kateosee Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 Welcome, Lucecita! To the newer posters here: can I ask where you're applying and what your area of interest is? Now that I'm in to where I want to go, I'm just going to be the resident cheering squad on here FeministCorgi 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pawnee_IN Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 Thanks for the welcome kateosee! And congrats on Michigan, it's such a great school (many members of my family went to UofM, and my mom's actually from Ann Arbor. Go Blue!). My background is in Art History and Folklore Studies, focusing generally on material culture and more specifically on clothing/textiles and Victorian photography. My dream program is probably Yale, Laura Wexler does some awesome work with photography there. I'm also still holding out for Brown- I know some acceptances were already posted, but I can't hope praying that because they've notified people much earlier than in previous years that there's still some hope out there for the rest of us!

I'm wishing you the best of luck! And thank you. I grew up near Ann Arbor and am already at Michigan for my master's. As I'm looking outside at the snow and cold, I'm wondering what has possessed me to stay. Those areas sound so cool! My History of Gender class here at U of M read Tender Violence last semester. It was my first real introduction to the history of visual culture and I found it absolutely fascinating. My fingers are crossed for you!

Lucecita Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 Hi kateosee, thank you for the warm welcome and cheerleading, it's so appreciated! And, congratulations on Michigan! I've applied to Michigan, UT, USC, Yale, Brown, Stanford, and NYU. I was a history and Latin@ Studies major, and am interested in using Chicano history and historiography, cultural theory, Lacanian psychoanalytic theory, and public memory to expand on cultural studies done on Texas. I'm still waiting to hear back from my top choice, but I'm really excited about the possibilities already present!
