Archaeology-Mesopotamia here.

Hello I am an international and I took GRE last year. My scores are weird: my verbal is relatively high compared to many people esp. international applicants but my quantitative score is so low. I mean very very low. I have always been good at verbal tests and bad at maths... and I was pregnant and due in two weeks when I took the test (not even fitting in the desk!). Since I'm applying to humanities/social sciences I mainly focused on verbal and did not concentrate on maths at all, left out many questions and the result was horrible. I knew that I'd suck but even I did not expect it. My verbal is OK and it would be OK if I apply but... I did apply to some schools last year but nothing happened because of bad fit and lack of communication with POI. But maybe these GRE scores were also to blame? This year I have very positive feedback from profs and I'm really enthusiastic... Should I retake the exam? Pay all that money again? Last time I had not even looked at math sample questions before the test so maybe in a few weeks I can find time to overview -at least- some terms and be ready for an average score and I'm definitely not pregnant anymore so my brain is maybe functioning more. Or not (sigh- sleepless baby nights).

Hey I applied to Yale Anthro/Fes as well and I know that socio-cultural anthropology invited people for interviews already and started them. I guess if there was no invitation then we can assume rejection.

I wish that applied to Yale too but alas.

I so wish they did not. But apparently they did. Busted.

I'm the same with Yale but I guess they already sent all interview invitations yesterday and I am not invited anywhere. Too sad.

Is anyone waiting to hear from Indiana (Bloomington)? The web link they sent when your application is submitted is a bit weird.

same with Yale interviews. crazy.

did you receive it today? in the morning?? now?? just holding onto the little bit of hope if left any. maybe the other is medical too...

I think it is socio-cultural bcs someone somewhere mentioned that only socio-cultural interviews! Oh dear, I have not heard anything, no emails, no invitations....

has anyoned received invitation for interviews from Yale??

No one here posted anything about interviews let alone acceptances. Well this can either mean that no one received a Skype invitation yet or no one is following this forum! I want to go with the former.

Truly, nothing on Yale?

What about the combined degree (anthropology & fes)?Any news? There is a post on results page.

Anyone heard from Yale (socio-cultural)?
