heddatron Posted December 28, 2015 Share Posted December 28, 2015 Hey all! I've applied to Feminist Studies PhD program at the University of Minnesota. I really appreciate any information regarding the program. My application status is now "Awaiting Program Decision", and I wonder if you or someone you know has gotten any responses from the department about the admissions/decisions yet. Thank you!

queeraf Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 I'm in the same boat, my application status is also "Awaiting Program Decision." Has anybody heard back yet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heddatron Posted January 16, 2016 Author Share Posted January 16, 2016 Hey queeraf, I haven't heard back yet, either. Do you think they interview? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
queeraf Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 Heddatron, I don't think so from what I've read from previous years. I saw that their American Studies program already did interviews, I'm just hoping that GWS doesn't lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

heddatron Posted February 6, 2016 Author Share Posted February 6, 2016 It seems like UMN is sending out rejections. However, I still haven't heard any word from them. it's been a very slow process, hasn't it? :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
queeraf Posted February 6, 2016 Share Posted February 6, 2016 @heddatron I'm on the same boat as you (still says "awaiting program decision", its such an annoying process :'-( I'm not sure whether to feel better about not hearing back or if they are just taking long with rejections for UMN. Did you see the acceptance on the results page like a week ago? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heddatron Posted February 6, 2016 Author Share Posted February 6, 2016 @queeraf yes, I did. However, I e-mailed the department a few days ago and was told that they hadn't sent out any decisions yet. I don't know. Someone might have faked? And now, the decisions are coming. Wish us the best. Fingers crossed! queeraf 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
queeraf Posted February 6, 2016 Share Posted February 6, 2016 @heddatron Really?! No news is good news then, good luck to you as well. Checking e-mail is so terrifying right now lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

queeraf Posted February 10, 2016 Share Posted February 10, 2016 (edited) Anybody hear anything from Minnesota or University of Washington? So. Done. Waiting!! Edited February 10, 2016 by queeraf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sillysocks Posted February 10, 2016 Share Posted February 10, 2016 I never received an "official" rejection letter from Minnesota, but when I went to the portal, I saw that I was rejected. U of W emailed me a rejection letter awhile back. Maybe check the portals if you haven't already? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
queeraf Posted February 10, 2016 Share Posted February 10, 2016 @sillysocks thanks, I have checked almost everyday (both portal and e-mail, my obsession with this is so real and unhealthy). And both say "waiting program decision." Even if I'm rejected from both i just want to hear now lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heddatron Posted February 11, 2016 Author Share Posted February 11, 2016 I'm in the same situation as you, Queeraf. It's still "awating program decision". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

queeraf Posted February 17, 2016 Share Posted February 17, 2016 For anyone waiting on Minnesota, I e-mailed their graduate director and found out I'm sorta wait-listed? I was told the chances of a spot opening are unlikely, so I'm taking it as a rejection. heddatron 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
queeraf Posted February 17, 2016 Share Posted February 17, 2016 Also, shoutout to @heddatron! You helped me with the anxiety of waiting for minnesota lol heddatron 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gradkid Posted February 19, 2016 Share Posted February 19, 2016 Hey FMST scholars, If I haven't heard from UCSB or UCSC's PhD programs is it pretty likely I was rejected? I suppose I could contact DGS on Monday, I'm just itching to accept offers elsewhere. Thanks in advance! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They said that all acceptances and wait list notifications have gone out. If we haven't heard yet, that is likely a rejection and that those letters will go out in March. However, before accepting an offer, it could be worthwhile to contact UCSB to inquire about your specific application since I don't want to give you bad advice! Good luck!
