thank you everyone! what will you all be doing this year if you do not get in anywhere?

thank you for the advise, more experience could not hurt- what is the USG?

thats exactly how i am starting to feel - where do you think you are going to apply for an internship?

ughhh i see that the rejections are starting to rainnnnn innnnn - alll i want is ONE university to take me....JUST one

hahaha oh i am so happy you did though!! next week is when we will be biting our nails though...

can you tell me where you saw this acceptance??/ i am looking right now and all i see are the waitlists....or anthropology but thats not our program

i asked for more information and they gave it to me ....i wish i had not asked!

thank you so much! i did not know about their acceptance rate- i thought it was like 88 % (this is what it says online....). Can you recommend me a good safety school

thank you guys for all of the information. i just have always had people scare me and tell me that if a program is not hard to get into and the PROGRAM is not ranked high, in the end , your education is not regarded as high , and that i will get eaten in the research world when people from the top programs can get their hands on what they want to do, and i will be left with crumbs because i wont be able to get funding. > but it cannot be THAT bad right otherwise the programs should shut down!

did you end up excepting the MA program? did you think about it?

Thank you!! I will be working with her if i get accepted, because i am going to do bioarchaeology and mortuary analysis in Neolithic-Bronze Age Anatolia . I just never heard about the school before...and i cannot find its ranking ...thats why i am assuming it is not well known. But i really dooooo like the program.

Thank you so much for your answer. I really appreciate the advice. Have you applied to such a school.

HAHAHAHAHH )))) Thank you for making me laugh. As i understand it......they have not made funding offers, and that means that people wont be able to decide until April and thats when they will be able to take in new people. BUt what i don't really understand is ....why take people off the wait-list if they don't know what willl happen until later... i dont get it.

After loosing hope that i will get in ANYWHERE this year...i was wondering...if applied to a lower tier school next cycle, ,would it be worth it in the end. I want to be a researcher and secure a teaching position at a research institution eventually...those are my goals. I am in contact with a professor from University of Nevada Las Vegas who 's interests match mine and i fit very well with the program. But in the end, if i do this...will i ever be able to do what i want? Would any of you attend an institution that you never even heard of before?

Keep hanging in there guys And now for round 2: Next week, the wait list will be trimmed down (yes, i stalked again).....we wont be hearing anything after those cuts until early April...AHHHHHHHHH!!!!

congratulations!!! is this your top choice?

Hello my fellow wait listies I wanted to see how you are doing while waiting- do you have back up plans and programs? . I have been rejected by most everything, only 3 left to hear from, and this UCLA looks like my only realistic hope.. on another note, to relieve stress, which PO's did you guys want to work with? what is your research interest? Have you heard any more news from Cotsen Good luck and i hope everyone gets in their top choice~

congratulations!!! I am so happy for you!!! So , is this part of the anthro program or the linguistics program, cuz i cant seem to find this dual degree ....

my fellow Arizona applicants, i did some more stalking (yes, i know....but what can i do). So, i talked to someone at the department again and the gentleman told me that we will be finding out yes/no in the next 2 days as he is going through about 150 applications . The number admitted for archaeology ( i did not ask about the other sub fields i am sorry) was actually 8 , and the application pool was over 200 people.....i have given up hope

congratulations to everyone! i am really genuinely happy for you!

oh, and that we should hear very very soon

hello! so i just spoke to the director of graduate admissions, and he told me that they will be accepting 5 archaeology students....all together...across all sub fields

Hi!, i dont think its cotsen because it would not be under anthropology but archaeology i would think...

...well I guess i have missed the point of "fit " in a couple applications.....i am sure that i am not applying there again though. Do you guys think its appropriate to ask about if it is worth applying next year or if there is anything to be done better?

congratulations to both of your amazing news on this day! If you didn't have a valentine , you do now!
