Ah, so this is corner of Grad Cafe where the cultural anthropology consortium gathers. I may as well toss my hat into the pool too. I only have one school in common with both of you: Duke. Looking at the results of years past, I'm a bit disconcerted that I've yet to hear anything as far as interviews for that school; however, I'll take the lack of any confirmed results thus far as a glimmer of hope.
But I agree with the above: Cultural Anth admission statistics are insane. But I was told that if you take out the applicants who aren't qualified in the slightest, that number becomes somewhat less drastic. Hopefully I'm on the right side of that divide!
