  1. Anyone heard anything yet? I'm dying!
  2. Thank you, good luck to you too, let me know how it goes!
  3. Sounds great! My project is about how international representations of HIV/AIDS are navigated and challenged by people living with HIV. Specifically in South Africa.
  4. Hi, Great! Yeh i got similar feedback from the professor i've been in contact with. I agree with you, i'm finding the whole process challenging actually, i'm applying from the UK and it's the first time i've applied to programs in the US. Is Duke one of your preferred choices? What is your project about, broadly ?
  5. Hi! It's going well just continuing work on my SOP. Duke is my first choice so i'm trying to nail it! What about you? Are you applying for other schools?
  6. Hi everyone! I'm Robin and applying for cultural anthropology programmes. I have an undergrad in international politics and a Masters in African Studies. I had a couple of questions, mainly because i am from and in the UK and finding applications to US schools a bit difficult to get my head around. My frist question is about grade equivalency. I got a good 2:1 in my undergrad and a 1st in my Masters (71%). I am finding impossible to find any sort of usefull conversion scale - as a result i have no idea what my GPA is! The second is about the statemet of purpose. In the UK because PhD programmes are shorter you are usually expected to have a more specific set of ideas and a research question before applying. AAs well as all the usual things an application is split into a personal statement and a research proposal. I have finished writing my SOPs but have found it difficult to sort of include a research proposal and a personal statement in one document. My main question is about how much personal (but relevant!) stuff should be included? My proposal and research ideas have been heavily influenced by my background and work and i feel both of those are strengths for me. Finally slightly more flippantly but how old are applicants usually? Is 25 too old?!
  7. Hi all! Anyone applying for Duke Anthropology? Would be great to compare notes. Robin.
