Hello everyone, As a form of procrastination I kept track of the anthro program results this year in an excel file. Here are some interesting things I found: - # of anthro submitted decisions = 490 - # of acceptances = 196 (40%) - # of rejections = 294 (60%) - # of programs represented = 109 - Top 10 most applied to programs (# of decisions in parentheses): 1. Michigan (24), 2. Brown (19), 2. Harvard (19), 4. UC Berkeley (18), 5. Toronto (17), 6. NYU (16), 6. Stanford (16), 8. Oxford (14), 9. Princeton (13), 9. UCLA (13) - Top 10 most selective programs (% admitted, at least 5 submitted decisions): 1. Chicago (0%), 2. Brown (5%), 3. Stanford (6%), 4. Cornell (9%), 5. UC Santa Barbara (11%), 6. NYU (12%), 7. Princeton (15%), 8. Emory (17%), 8. SUNY Stony Brook (17%), 8. Notre Dame (17%) - Top 10 most selective programs (% admitted, at least 10 submitted decisions): 1. Chicago (0%), 2. Brown (5%), 3. Stanford (6%), 4. Cornell (9%), 5. NYU (12%), 6. Princeton (15%), 7. Michigan (20%), 8. Harvard (21%), 9. Columbia (25%), 10. UC Berkeley (27%) - February is when the action happens. The vast majority of decisions are made in this month, with many fewer in January and March: -I attached the excel file if anyone else wants to play around with the numbers -As a word of caution, I have no background in statistics and have no idea how the Grad Cafe data relate to the true amount of applications each school received. This is meant to just be a rough idea as to how the application season went and should not be taken seriously. I hope it might help people who apply next year have an idea as to which schools are popular and when schools release their results. grad school national results.xlsx

Hey anthro applicants, It's been approx. one month since programs began releasing decisions and I decided to compile data over that time period to have a look at where we are: Submitted decisions as of 2/6/2017: 98 Accepted: 41 (42%) Denied 57 (58%) Only three major programs appear to be completely finished with admissions, and boy was it rough: Brown (1/16 admitted) Princeton (2/11 admitted) UCSB (1/9 admitted) Many other programs seem to have admitted their top candidates (e.g. Berkeley, Oxford, UCLA), but are waiting to see how the wait list process goes. Hold your fingers. Here's the rest of the data: School Date Accepted?
