@Chambjn, I'm in the same situation at GWU American Studies. I agree, any insight would be great. I'm hoping my recommenders can shed some light for me.
@alh Thanks you! My first choice is Yale but I am very excited about Minnesota. I study LGBT history and culture with an emphasis on gentrification and consumer culture. How about you? What are your top choices? What's your focus?
Best of luck!
@alh I see that you've crossed out NYU American Studies. Did you get accepted/waitlisted/rejected? I haven't heard anything back yet. Based on other NYU-related comments, I don't think I made the cut or the waitlist.
Nope, no word from George Washington. I did just check my application status and it said that my file was "under review." Good luck!
Nyoung0911, where else did you apply?
Right, I can confirm that too. I spoke to the DGS after I was admitted to the University of Minnesota's American Studies program. He said they were shooting for a cohort of 4 and folks would hear about funding in February or March. Minnesota is just now going through its schoolwide fellowship competition.
Good luck everyone!
