I just got my rejection letter from Davis. Not a surprise or a big deal. You can't win them all.

Did you interview at UCSB?

A lot of the schools in the University of California system have excellent Anthropology programs.

UCDavis where ya at?

No clue. I've been accepted into their Anthro MA/PhD program without a word on funding other than the vast majority of students receive TA-ships.

I'm okay without calling. I'm going to assume I didnt make the shortlist. I already have one acceptance and one shortlist which I thought was a long shot. I feel pretty good about this round regardless with what happens from now on.

Good to know. Thanks for the info.

BNS do you happen to know how many folks where shortlisted and if they have all been contacted? I've heard that Chicago received up to 300 applications which means lots of great candidates get passed over even ones who've been in touch with faculty.

Is there any way to live cheaply in SB or is it simply hopeless?

I'v been "recommended for acceptance into the Graduate Program in the Department of Anthropology at the University of California, Santa Barbara". However, I havent been official approved by the Graduate Division yet. Anyone one have any clue if this is simply a formality? How often does a department accept someone and than have the bureaucrats kibosh it?

Another week begins and hopefully we will all be receiving some good news, some offers, some spots, some fantastic funding packages. How is everyone holding up?

UCSB acceptance are you in the cultural, archaeology or IAS wing?

My chit chat with UCSB went well. However, I do wonder if I can handle the laid back vibes of the West Coast.

You haven't been rejected which is a good sign. You could be on a wait list or they are still figuring out their acceptances and you made it past the first cut.

I have a skype chat with folks from UCSB tomorrow. I think interview is to formal of a description. I think I've reverted back to my normal emotionally deadened self. I feel numb. No adrenalin rush this time.

My flight for St. Louis is booked. Any tips or tricks for a day of interviewing and whatnot would be greatly appreciated. Thanks Team Anthro.
