  2. laurissimo: i havent heard anything from upenn either. i wrote two weeks ago and they told me results were going to be sent out last week but i havent heard anything. have you written to the department asking?
  3. hi guys! does anybody know if the harvard accepted have been all notified? maybe by email? or are they only sending rsults on postal service?
  4. hi guys. i was just wondering if any of you have heard anything from UPenn. From what I saw last year they did interviews and to this moment the request were already made. Does someone know if UPenn is doing interviews or when would they send out results? They are taking quite a while. Thank you!
  5. hi, i´ve been checking the site for a while. i have seen today that someone is going to be interviwed for linguistic anthropology at upenn. have the people from sociocultural been contacted? and does upenn always do interviews? thank you! and good luck everyone
  6. dear coffeandmilk, do you know hoe the process of outside funding works? what i mean is, you apply first to the grant, they give it to you, and then you apply to the phd? or you apply to both at the same time.i dont understand how the institution of the grant and the university work this thing together
  7. hello: i am an international applicant who was just rejected for the second time from all the programs where i applied. i have an MTS at harvard divinity school and there is where i grew interested in medical/social anthropology. the fact of being rejected for the second time from all the 8 programs where i applied makes me think that there must be something missing in my application. i have publications, although the majority is in hispanic literature area because i did my undergrad, i have research experience and i won a traveling fellowship 2 years ago, i also have presented different papers in conferences but what i lack is an MA in anthropology. i dont know if that is what is withholding me from getting accepted into a program in the us. i am pretty sure that programs in medical anthro are very competitive so maybe applying to big schools is a long shot and i am not aware of that. i also wrote to the professors of the different schools were i applied and they all recomended me to apply to their program but at the end nothing worked. i have friends that have been admitted into top schools without an MA in anthro, but i dont know why its being so difficult for me. i would appreciate if someone could give me some advice or recomendations on how to be a stronger candidate. would an MA work? more research? more publications? at the end, what do the persons who got admitted into top programs like upenn or harvard did to be good candidates that were taken into consideration for admission? thank you!
