im wondering if i should just email ned and receive my rejection that way, too...or else this wait could go on for weeks

these have got to come out like, today, right?

i don't think they did, but it seems some have already been notified, so i'm not sure...maybe they do things in waves

does anyone want to claim the early february acceptances, and if you were cultural or not?

to the Toronto rejection listing on the board: i'm sorry i think i must be in your position also, just haven't gotten a letter yet. do you mind sharing what it said (anything about a waitlist or anything?) and has your app status changed on the website or is it still 'under review'??

will any brave souls do what i am afraid to do? (mostly afraid of hearing i've been rejected on the phone)

i would call the department first, but i'm also too paranoid to do that, haha. it's probably not the worst thing to contact your POI and just remind them of your interest. if you've been made other offers, you can refer to those too and say that you're still really drawn to berkeley

has anyone tried emailing or calling the department? and thank you to you all for the signs of encouragement!

ahh i'm sorry i was somehow hoping that someone would give some information to rekindle the optimism...

besides med anthro, i see these: UC Berkeley Anthropology, PhD (F14) Accepted via E-mail on 5 Feb 2014 A 6 Feb 2014 University Of California- Berkeley Anthropology, PhD (F14) Accepted via E-mail on 5 Feb 2014 A 6 Feb 2014 University Of California, Berkeley Anthropology (Archaeology), PhD (F14) Accepted via Phone on 30 Jan 2014

cultural applicant here.. im starting to get the sense that decisions already went out at the beginning of the month (given past years patterns and a few admissions that were posted then)...should i just assume the worst at this point? is anyone else waiting?
