    Congratulations, screencheck!
  2. Don't Panic
    I just wanted to say 'Thank You' for being a considerate person in this cut-throat, selfish world.
  3. Don't Panic
    Thanks! I think I would ask them for an extension.

    Oxford! So cool! Congratulations, Alterman! Makes me shudder to think I only applied to three universities. Didn't have the resources to apply to more and didn't apply to any of the 'prestige' programs but only three still feels like madness!
  5. Don't Panic
    Hmm..but one of my programs is asking me to make a decision by the end of March. Feeling under pressure.

    I'm glad I joined Gradcafe! It has been and continues to be a great experience. At times the other applicants' overwhelmingly good grades/GRE/publications/research experiences scared me out of my wits! But at times the people around here soothed me with their comforting words. Most importantly, Gradcafe helped me keep my chin up, even when the people around me (and sometimes in my own head I, myself) told me otherwise.

    LOL!

    Got funding! Soon it would be decision time for me. :)

      Thanks,quincepessa! :)

    Thanks, strudelle! Waiting for news on funding is totally nerve wrecking! Especially with everyone around me asking questions all the time. Am I in? If yes then when and where am I going? What does it mean I can't say anything until April? If I'm in I'm in, right? So hard to make everyone understand!

    When I contacted them they told me there may be some delay with out of country mail. That's why I didn't get mine. If I hadn't contacted them I would've been hanging on for weeks to come. I'm glad that's over with!

    Contacted Washington University in St. Louis and received an email of rejection. Nearly 120 applicants to the Department of Anthropology, all extremely promising candidates cannot be admitted; etc, etc. Ah well! For a newbie, who before June 2013 didn't even think of applying, getting two acceptances is pretty good, if I do say so myself.

    WUSTL also rejected me, even though we're not from the same program.
  13. Don't Panic

    Well, that's the last of'em! Contacted the university and received an email of rejection. Nearly 120 applicants to the Department of Anthropology, all extremely promising candidates cannot be admitted; etc, etc. Ah well! For a newbie, who before June 2013 didn't even think of applying, getting two acceptances out of three is not too shabby, if I do say so myself. Now, if only fundings would work out, I would have absolutely nothing to complain about!

      Haha, I love your attitude. Hoping for the best for you!

      And the user name :)

      123hardasABC, thanks! With less than zero support from those who are around me, almost zero expectations and know-how about the application process (being an international applicant doesn't help either), being positive and moving on is really the only choice I have if I want to survive. :)

      PhDerp, thanks! I love The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy! Which makes my user name oh so apt! :)

    Good luck to both of us! Thanks, pears!
  16. Don't Panic
    Great news! So happy for you! By the way, your old advisor sounds...well, 'not normal'.
  17. Don't Panic
    Another acceptance, even though it's unofficial! But 'Oh funding, where art thou?'

      I keep wondering the same question

      My thoughts exactly!

      Lets hope all of us receive an affirmative answer to our question soon.

    A little help and advice required! Anyone around here got any information on UARK? More specifically the Department of Anthropology Sociocultural track? Any information even about UARK in general would be greatly welcome. PM me, please! Thanks in advance!
  21. Don't Panic
    I can't speak for others but know I am here for exactly this reason. Sitting here thousands of miles away I have little option but to depend on places like Gradcafe for information. At least it takes away some of my 'fear of the unknown'.
  22. Don't Panic
    While waiting on funding on one particular university (and news from the other schools that I've applied to), should I mention the fact that I have family near the university? That is one of the many reasons why I'm still considering going there.
  23. Don't Panic

    Got an acceptance but for MA, not PhD, with funding decision still pending. Oh well, I suppose it's better than nothing. At least it wasn't an outright rejection. And to top it all off, I submitted my result here at the Gradcafe with the GRE Verbal and Quantitative scores switched! Now people will think I suck at English instead of Math! Sigh!

      it's actually really stupid. They have it as QR then VR on the form but then they publish it as VR and QR.

    2. PhDerp

      In CS, I can always tell on results when they're switched (usually the essay score is a giveaway).

      Which is funny, I actually scored higher on my V. :P

      Don't Panic

      roguesenna, hey that's true! They do have it as QR then VR on the form but then they publish it as VR and QR. I hadn't notice it before. That's stupid! Why don't they fix it?

  24. Don't Panic
    Letter from the Director of Graduate Studies of UARK informing me that my application for admissions has been favorably reviewed by the Admissions and Funding Committee. But for MA, not PhD. They will contact about funding opportunities later. Oh well, I suppose it's better than nothing. At least it wasn't an outright rejection. ETA: Funny thing happened while I was submitting my result here at the Gradcafe. My GRE Verbal and Quantitative results got switched accidentally. Now people will think I suck at English! Sigh!

    Stress eating. Living on my poison of choice, DORITOS. And Peanut Brittles. Lots and lots of Peanut Brittles! Downside, my face is breaking out.

      My stress coping mechanism is wine. I'm sure that's not much healthier!

      I just made myself a Nutella malt milkshake. I actually feel better!

      Don't Panic

      It's a good thing I don't drink, DeafAudi. I'm in such a state that if I did I think I would've become a full blown alcoholic by now!

      Mmmmm...milkshakes! You're giving me ideas, xstopfloating.
