Would any one be able to divulge the speed/class of mail with which their notification was sent? I'm moving in 1.5 weeks, and need to calculate whether I should register my new address with the Fulbright folk. Thank you!

Please excuse my hope of preserving some degree of anonymity. I don't mean to be too evasive, and can answer private messages if it would be of assistance. I was accepted to two schools for sociocultural, one in the top three departments (as specified by the 1994 NRC report) and to an ivy. Rejected at another ivy and another in the top three, and have a high position on the waitlist at another ivy. So. I have an area-studies BA (from a USNWR top ten), but minimal coursework in anthropology (albeit a considerable amount in philosophy and "theory"). GPA 3.8+, GRE: 800v/690m/6. Research abroad, but no ethnographic fieldwork, so to speak. I applied as a possible political anthropologist and STS scholar. I didn't contact any faculty in advance. disclaimer: I don't have much faith in the rankings, but I thought they might help readers to gauge selectivity.

I don't mean to sound contentious, but I was indeed wait-listed on Tuesday. Perhaps this bodes well for those who haven't heard yet.

humorlessly: any news from princeton, harvard, or yale? Sheesh.

News: I appear scheduled for an interview with Yale faculty next week.

Egypt Finalist!

I'd prefer not to name; but it was in Arabic. Any other applicants to arabic speaking countries receive such e-mails?

Hi All, Last week I was asked to submit a second form, including a brief translation of my proposal into the host country's language. Does anyone have experience with this, or know its meaning? I'm sure that this is not commonplace for all countries. Thanks! Good luck!
