  1. UCR, Cornell, UAlbany (all PhD) and Brandeis (MA). I'm torn. I wish I could say I've made some progress... I've gotten dangerously close to choosing a name out of a hat. (Okay not really, but almost!)
  2. Ha! And I'll be sure to wear my Star TREK shirt to some SAA after party this year! :)
  3. I just PMd you! An amazing program with brilliant faculty! Congrats.
  4. The schools I've been accepted to: 1. Great fit- eh funding 2. Good fit- decent funding 3. Good fit- good funding 4. Eh fit- GREAT funding A mixed bag, to say the least. Most people are telling me to go with option 3 but it is the only one in a location I know I would be relatively unhappy in. I'm leaning towards option 4 because I think a good quality of life (I mean happiness, not just money!) will contribute just as much towards my success as a great fit (that's a personal opinion). Anyways, we'll see!
  5. I just realized that potentially came off wrong because of your username! Haha.. My friend does Mesoamerican archaeology and got rejected.
  6. I have a Meso arch friend that got rejected from there, that's all I know!
  7. Archaeology. Hopefully you hear soon!
  8. Admitted to UCR with a very good funding offer! I've now heard back from all my schools- admitted and funded to 4 of 5. Good luck to all still waiting! Even from my end, this process seems anarchic. I have many many friends with more qualifications than I who haven't gotten in anywhere yet... I'm baffled.
  9. To the people that post results with no subfield and no follow-up.... You're killin' us here! Show some mercy!
  10. Dig Deep! You really are "The Chosen One" haha! Congrats. I'll be attending my PhD program in the area as well, welcome to Boston!
  11. If I was you, I'd have my bags packed and be on the next plane! It's a great program, great environment, and a great stipend. Buy a coat and get going
  12. Why are we getting so paranoid (myself included) about adcoms/faculty looking at grad cafe? Oh, right, because this entire process has pushed us to the brink of insanity. I actually caught myself wondering if some of the people PMing me were faculty asking me how I felt about their program. It's getting out of hand. We're going to turn on each other soon!
  13. I've presented at their conference. I really liked it there and their graduate students all seem very enthusiastic about their work. From what I've been told, the funding there was good as well. Surrounding city was also very nice. Congrats!
  14. Glad to know I'm not the only one! They must be making decisions soon... Right?
