  1. I just got my final rejection as well. While it's really disappointing, I finally had the clarity to think about what I really want from this and why. I'm still semi-optimistic and while I'm in a better mood I'd like to get with a group and start to shop around our materials for next year. If there is a new thread, will someone link it here? Thanks for all the commiseration during this interminable wait and massive congrats to everyone who has light at the end of their tunnel!
  2. I planned to apply to 4, decided 3 was fine... except I couldn't get out of my tunnel vision long enough to see that applying to only top programs was a gamble at best and a mistake at worst. If it doesn't come through this cycle I'll apply in a much more realistic way. The first rejection from Emory really allowed me to think critically about my application stuff. I don't really expect to get into to any of them anymore, and I alternate being ok with it and being devastated. I was pretty panicked during application season and I think it shows in my personal statement. My GRE scores aren't that great (158V 147Q 4W). I think my LORs are pretty good, all relatively well known- as well as the exiting and entering anth department chairs. I'm the research assistant for a project that's an intended research direction, headed by both the anth and psych chair. No honors thesis, just latin from my gpa, 3.95. I think I've been spending too much time on the results list. Now just to wait and pretend not to care, ha!
