Thanks sarab! I appreciate all the support everyone has given me. I am going to stay hopeful. This was only my first time applying. I'm going to try and find some archaeological work, hopefully in Peru, and I'm going to try and get something published. That way next year I'll be more competitive.

Officially rejected from UCSD. I guess I'll be back next year.

Does anyone know anything about wait lists? Like, would most schools send out notifications that students have been wait-listed after they send out acceptances? Most of the UCSD acceptances seem to have gone out, so I don't think I'll be getting one. But I'm holding out hope that maybe I'll be put on the wait list, and someone will decide to go somewhere else.

Don't be sorry. I feel the same way. I think I'm giving up hope that I've been accepted there, but it'd be nice to just hear something. My advisor is offering to help me find a job in Peru and I want to start doing that so that I can have at least some idea of what I'll be doing after graduation.

Sorry to hear about your rejection! But, like strudelle said, you have some fantastic programs to choose from now. Good luck!

I've been thinking that too. But at the same time, I don't think I've said anything that unprofessional. And saying online that you've been accepted somewhere shouldn't be considered unprofessional. Obviously you're going to be excited. I bet most people post on facebook when they get in somewhere.

Boo, I still haven't heard anything. Congrats to you though!

I really hope that's how it was with my interview. Today is seriously dragging on. I really want to hear back from him!!!

Lol strudelle you're so nice.

Why indeed? I was so nervous during my phone interview, I'm positive that my POI thought I was a crazy person, or at least an idiot. I mean, it probably didn't go so badly, but in my memory it was horrible. I wish I could go back in time and change it.

Pretty sure the school I'm waiting on is off today. Do you know if Chicago and Penn are open?

I'm glad I answered because otherwise I wouldn't have paid the bill. But still, it was the opposite of what I was hoping for.

I got a call from an unfamiliar number today, outside my area code. I was so excited, but it was just my credit card company telling me that I forgot to pay my bill. Oops.

Me too!

You're so right. The Anthro department at my school is always working with our GIS lab, and a lot of the Anthro majors get internships there and go on to work in GIS.
