Hey sisyphit. I'm in exactly the same boat... I'll message you.

DanJackson I totally agree, it makes no sense.

Just the social anthropology programme, not the joint one.

I just received e-mail from Harvard Graduate Programme Administrator: "As part of the admissions process, we are conducting brief, informal Skype interviews tomorrow from 11:00 am – 3:00pm EST. The interview should last approximately 15 minutes." It doesn't say who the interview will be with. Is this normal? If it's a POI it would be good to know which one so that I can prepare. Also, what can they learn about me in 15 minutes? I'm hoping that this is a good sign...

I also have this problem- I was admitted with a 25% scholarship, which I suppose I should be happy with, but the left over amount that I have to pay is so huge that I don't know whether I can do it. I e-mailed admissions about 10 times, no reply. So I called them today... they just told me that all the people who ask for more money are put into a 'pool' or something like that, and then we have to wait another week to find out whether our appeal will be granted at all... The whole funding process at the New School is so terrifyingly bureaucratic.
