  1. Hey! I thought I would start a thread since it has been awhile since the existing ones have been updated. I applied to the January deadline for the bio anthropology DDRIG. Has anyone heard anything yet? I know in previous years, we would have heard something by now, but the government shutdown might delay things.

  2. I talked with current students and they said 3 core classes at once is the best. I am taking 2 core, 2 colloquiums (they are participation based), and TAing, which is 14 credits (you need 12 to be full time). They told me that my schedule would be challenging but doable.

  3. Have you guys enrolled in courses yet? I am not sure if we need a certain number of credits or courses to be full-time. Is it 12 you think? Also, I haven't heard anything about graduate housing, do you think it is impossible to get it before September?

  4. Hey guys!! I accepted my offer at UCSD last week!!! I am so excited!!! :D I am kinda worried about housing. I applied for graduate housing, but in the huge chance that I do not get it before the start of the term, are you guys looking at housing elsewhere? 

  5. Yours might be the one posted today, so maybe you have found out. I am not sure if they are finished or not. I was unofficially notified by my POI back in late January, but I didn't get the official letter for another week or two. The department seemed to have a bit of disconnect, so I wouldn't be surprised if different subfields were ahead or behind the others. I would like to hear what other people's funding offers were from there if you (or anyone else) wouldn't mind sharing either here or by PM

    Still haven't heard back from them, but I am still hoping! Which subfield are you?

  6. Dillwithit, do you know if their decisions will be continuing to be released over the course of the next week or so? What did their email say, if you don't mind me asking?

    So the email was your typical acceptance email, no info on other applications.

     

    "Congratulations! I am pleased to inform you that you have been admitted as a graduate student for Fall 2015 to the Ph.D. program in Anthropology majoring in Anthropology at the University of California, San Diego. As a leading institution for graduate studies, UC San Diego strives to attract and retain the best and the brightest graduate students from across the country and around the world. You have been selected from an elite group of applicants and it is our sincere hope that you will elect to join our campus community." 

     

    I know they reviewed applications on 2/2 and decided who to admit then. I am not sure if they are still sending out emails. My status online has changed if that helps. My POI gave me a skype interview to tell me informally about my admittance and funding last week.
