Came across this that seemed to be relevant to the conversation we're having here https://culanth.org/fieldsights/1321-academic-precarity-in-american-anthropology-a-forum
-
hi @Jigsaw_Saran, just curious why Harris is your first choice over SIPA?
-
If the financial situation is actually comparable - Harvard. Speaking as an international student from a developing country, the Harvard brand name carries more weight here than any other university.
-
My SO got in!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
-
@MidCareerApp People here on the forum confirmed getting congratulatory emails.

@Stumble, you can follow HKS on Twitter here https://twitter.com/hksadmissions. I'm sure they'll post as soon as decisions are sent.
-
Hi @Stumble. Nice to see you're still active on this platform. WWS has sent out informal congratulatory acceptances. So those not contacted thus far should assume a rejection. Nobody has heard from HKS yet, but release of results seems imminent.
-
Berkeley, definitely. MIT's whole program is devoted to science studies. Princeton and Harvard for med anthro.
-
Not sure who has the authority to do it - but this thread should be pinned! This information is vital for future applicants.
-
Guys, I applied for early action and was waitlisted. They said my application would be reconsidered with the first-round applicants. But my status on the portal hasn't changed - no acceptance, no rejection, not even a renewed waitlist.
-
Congrats!!!! Were you called? Or through e-mail?
-
Check the portal. I found my rejection letter waiting for me there.
-
I really do not think it is wise to incur debts for graduate study, especially in a discipline like ours which isn't particularly marketable (read: there are very, very few jobs).
-
Unlikely you'll receive a helpful response, but no harm giving it a shot.
-
Stanford has, by far, the worst designed application portal of all the schools I applied to. And I applied to quite a few.
-
Someone posted a Columbia interview a week back...have all interview requests been sent out? Does Columbia interview all applicants it admits? Wondering if I should extinguish all hope.
-
They're just admitting fewer students, I'd guess. I just wish they'd release the final decisions already, especially since the interview was apparently on 26 Jan.
-
I'm sociocultural. They usually admit 8, so perhaps the four time slots were reflective of the four sociocultural positions and maybe arch is decided separately...?
-
Such a bummer. Was my top choice. Sigh...
-
Congrats!!!! May I ask who sent the mail?
-
I see a UCLA post on the results page. I'm wondering who notified the poster of their rejection. Usually acceptances are released simultaneously, if not earlier. I haven't heard anything yet and don't know what to make of it.
-
Hi! Fellow international applicant here. Though my knowledge is limited, but place of residence is irrelevant as far as notifying applicants goes. Application assessment varies by sub-discipline (in some cases), and not according to where the applicant lives. The best way to decipher your future would be to see 1) if the interview notifications so far are in your sub-discipline; 2) if these notifications have been communicated by POIs in a personalised manner, or if it's the AdCom that's sent them out in a mass email. I too have applied to Yale and Berkeley and am yet to hear from either. I'm pretty sure bad news is on the way from Yale since all sociocultural interview requests have already been sent. Still holding out some hope from Berkeley though...
-
Going by previous years too, Brown doesn't seem to have a staggered interview process. So yeah, it's safe for us to assume a rejection. Sucks.
-
To the person who posted the Brown interview, do you mind sharing your sub-field and whether it was a personalised email?
