Thanks for sharing. I have similar GPA in Anthro from an unknown Canadian school. I have coursework for an MA I dropped out of almost a decade ago, a few years doing social movement research plus I've worked in the field I'm proposing to study. Someone got into UOregon. Acceptances and interviews are starting to dribble in. Its kind of exciting!

I'm already doing the distance thing. I'm hoping grad school will put me in the same time zone as my SO. Damn the border.

I think what you are proposing is very do-able. I would spend sometime coming up with a workable PhD project and than connect with faculty across disciplines and see who bites.

Congrats and good luck with your interview. Are you applying with a BA or an MA? How much research experience do you have? GPA? etc. If you don't mind of course. It's nice to know what kind of students with what kind of stats are getting interviewed and hopefully accepted.

Damn. What city?

Anyone out there the UCIrvine interviewee?

The longest month of our lives.

In Post-Kantian Continental thought the thing-in-itself is not knowable, we are always limited by our historically situated human perspective. Thus, the focus on "illustrating monolithic concepts" and "abstract, normative categories" which dominate our vision, worldview, whatever. The "inherently plural" world is inherently inaccessible in some ways it's objects are never fully graspable. Nonetheless, "the hipster" as some kind of useful abstraction is fucking stupid. Is archaeology so absorbed by the hard sciences that it doesn't engage with social theory? I often forget how different archaeology and physical anthropology can be from cultural/social anthro.

Congrats. I wish I was more distracted. My job ended so I'm currently unemployed which means I have tons of time and energy to obsess, obsess, obsess...

Bummer dude. I'm still missing a LOR for WUSTL. It's 4 days late now. Them are breaks. I'm sure it will materialize sometime this week. Hopefully today. It's out of my hands and there isnt much I can do other than worry or not worry. I'm going with not worry. I wonder who is going to be the 1st to hear back on GC?

Anyone else losing sleep as they wait, wait, wait, wait...

I thought I had an app due on the 15 and it's due tomorrow at 11:59pm. I'm not particularly worried about getting it done in time I'm more concerned with whether my LORs will upload their letters before the deadline. I might have screwed the pooch on this one.

I've been thinking similar thoughts. I'd prefer to have roommates or a roommate. Living alone has its perks but also its downfalls. It's nice when you can socialize naturally at home rather than having to seek it out after a long day of solo work. At the same time I've had terrible roommates just as often as I've had great ones. For me I think the best solution would be have one or two roommates also in grad school and committed to their research but also up for drinking a beer or two, three, four, five...once or twice a week. This last year I lived alone and it was so-so. It was frustrating in different ways than living with others. In particular I dislike eating dinner alone but I also never found my roommate's friends passed out drunk on my kitchen floor at four in the afternoon either.

FP, is there anyway to have one of your LORs address this issue rather than writing about it in your SOP?
