Submitted them all finally! Whoop. Now just need to try to keep calm... Last year was 0 from 3, hopefully will manage at least 1 from 7 this time round. Update on the Yale application (although I imagine at this point most have done it, but just on the off-chance), Chrome seems to work best as on a mac. Fingers crossed for all in 2013!

Oh - and good luck finishing it off!!

Yeah the application part worked fine, but on a mac in Firefox the submission part did not work. Going to have to ring them on the 2nd, hopefully I won't look too last minute!

Has anyone else struggled with Yale's application? Two of my letter writers had to resubmit letters because they weren't accepted the first time and then went to submit yesterday and the screen went blank - after I received an e-mail confirming the payment went through. Now they're on recess til the day it's due...frustrating!

Unfortunately I didn't quite - I set it all up with the application (worst set up I've seen, as you say!), had my personal history statement ready to go (which was quite an effort, and felt really strange after most of the advice saying to avoid longer personal sections in the sop) and then was just coming to sorting out my statement of purpose and realised that while there are quite a few overlaps, no single match was ideal in any way. I'd looked a few months ago and was super excited, but since refining my project and looking again at the faculty I'd noted down, I decided I wouldn't accept myself so didn't expect them to! So I at least saved myself a little money - but kicking myself about the transcripts and gre. Oh well, live and learn...

Well managing to have a slightly calmer weekend after realising Michigan wouldn't in fact work, but this is quite draining! Good luck to all...

I am starting to feel exhausted... 5 down, 4 to go. Oof.

Hi all, I'm finishing off my first application, and wondering whether anthropology should be written with a capital A in the statement? When it's "Department of Anthropology" I have capitalized it, but otherwise I have not. On different departments' websites it seems there is a mix. Anyone know the accepted wisdom? Much appreciated!
