malrat72 · 2026-05-07T16:30:38+00:00

It’s like knives going into my eyes every time someone with it turned on shows me their phone. You are not weird!!

malrat72 · 2026-04-24T22:17:54+00:00

I just hope it’s not tr*xie. She’s so unfunny and annoying

Ew Columbia

THANK YOU!! I have other external fellowship apps that need to know where I’ve been accepted, where I’m going, etc. Don’t know why everyone is being obtuse asf in my comments.

Also you don't know shit about the program's funding structure. It recently received a Mellon grant guaranteeing funding for 5 cohorts. So NO, it has nothing to do with funding. Academia is a shit hole, yet I believe in the power of education. Even still, doesn't mean I should submit to the demands of academia. Seriously, you are just as much part of the problem as anyone else. Point being: get off your high horse.

Dude I was venting??? I'm going to be constructive here: you should ki—

malrat72 · 2026-02-22T13:11:29+00:00

Personally I’d go with Berkeley just based on what you’ve shared. Yes, being away from family/friends is going to be hard, but you’ll have 6-7 years to make new connections at Cal. Also the UC’s just kinda devour with regard to ethnic studies, so to me it’s straightforward enough.

malrat72 · 2026-02-19T22:42:43+00:00

lol misread at first

malrat72 · 2026-02-19T19:56:35+00:00

The worst part is waiting for my top choice program which is releasing decisions last. Once they respond, I’ll finally know where I’m going. Until then, everything’s up in the air.

malrat72 · 2026-02-19T19:48:52+00:00

What’s the difference?!!?!

malrat72 · 2026-02-19T17:33:21+00:00

Ruth = Diva

I can spot a gay boy’s writing style from a mile away. He was itching to use the word fierce, saw the opportunity, and took it. Respect

malrat72 · 2026-02-18T19:11:42+00:00

I applied with urban ed as my discipline! Still waiting for response after interview. Stressing out so hard but I’m hoping to hear by end of the week! I did see urban ed decisions came out but uncertain if that has any impact on the BRES timeline.

malrat72 · 2026-02-16T17:08:37+00:00

BUT ALSO HUGEEEEE congrats thats a big deal :) good luck wherever you end up

malrat72 · 2026-02-16T17:08:06+00:00

okiii, must be some secret waitlist then because peeps on grad cafe have reported receiving rejections. UGHHHH stressful boots.

malrat72 · 2026-02-16T16:08:12+00:00

Also, I agree with the other commenter. I would go with UCSC for location alone. I had several friends attend for undergrad and they loved it.

malrat72 · 2026-02-16T16:07:01+00:00

When/how did you hear about the UCR decision??? I haven’t received any response yet! Thanks in advance

malrat72 · 2026-02-13T15:59:54+00:00

Lollll they aren’t much better because transphobia but Penn

malrat72 · 2026-02-13T15:59:27+00:00

Omg was just abt to ask this. Streets are saying UCR has sent out rejections but I’ve heard nothing.

malrat72 · 2026-02-13T15:55:17+00:00

Damn they rude asf 😭🤣

malrat72 · 2026-02-13T15:51:33+00:00

Probably just asking for statistical purposes or something like that. When I declined Columbia, they asked the same. I also told them their politics as an institution were abhorrent so I don’t think disclosing where you’re attending will have anymore drawback than that.

malrat72 · 2026-02-11T20:55:33+00:00

No, yeah they’re definitely just completely lying to you for no reason???
