I've got info directly from the departments of UVA and Oregon State. I did not email and ask, they just emailed me and asked for one thing or another.

Cass - I feel almost exactly the same way. I'm freaking out now that someone has heard from Duke.

Applied to Duke and have not heard anything.

I figured as much but I was hoping that it meant decisions are coming out soon.

Just emailed Yale about my app status of incomplete and got a reply stating that it was complete and was currently being considered. Does this mean Yale's committee has/is meeting or is it a general response this time of year?

I was doing this! It was taking up so much time that I made a chart with date ranges for the last few years for all my schools. It's now my desktop background. :/

Well, I hope so! At this point I find it hard to remember who wanted what transcript types and other information. On another note - if the adcomm meets tomorrow does that mean, interviews/acceptance/rejections are soon to follow? Now I am getting anxious.

I hope so. My advisor thought it was. But I don't want to get over excited when it could just be that everyone who didn't send official transcripts got the email. Did you send official transcripts in?

Sharalaxp - that was me on UVA. I got the email because they didn't have my official transcripts. Asked if I could send scanned copies as the committee was meeting tomorrow. I doubt that means short list but then again why bother if I didn't have a shot.

I did! I have a friend in the HASTS program. I asked her to read my SoP and she suggested I apply there. Wasn't even on my radar. So I contacted a few profs she suggested and was encouraged to apply. The program looks awesome. But then again I'd be happy to be anywhere with funding. Also, Noway you have applied to some really great schools. What's your top choice?

I truly think you can do almost any project as an applied anthro project. So depending on the program I played that up or didn't.

Thanks for the reassurance! Also I have friends that applied to 4 or less. That is scary. I only applied to 3 for my MA and it was terrifying. Noway- I don't mind. University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, Duke, Yale, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, University of Connecticut, Oregon State University, University of Iowa, University of South Carolina, Syracuse University, University of Virginia, University of Pennsylvania, and University of California San Francisco. I feel like I have a lot of reach schools but I figured I had to try! What about your schools?

I feel like I am late to this thread and signing up for an account. Especially since I creep on the forums and results search so often. I'm currently finishing my MA in anthropology and applying to PhD programs. My focus is medical/cultural depending on the department. I have applied to 12 schools. Which sounds like a crazy amount. I don't believe I know anyone else with so many apps out. I have had a lot of good feed back from POIs. Including one phone conversation which ended with encouragement to apply and one email making sure my rec letters would be in on time with a note saying I would likely here soon after the committee meets. I also have an application into my current program. I feel like I should be more confident. After the first of my apps were in I felt fine, but now that the final app is submitted I am starting to panic.
