    Yes! My 94 year old grandma and her crew at her senior citizens home gossip about the people at the old people table almost every time I visit.

    I've received my first non-rejection, and it is, *Drumroll* ... a waitlist. My POI sent a nice email to inform me. I haven't responded yet. Is there anything we waitlisted folk can do to influence the outcome?

    I really wish i followed this advice. Instead what just occured was a mix of nerves, word vomit, and technical malfunctions. :[ But thank you for the support! Next time...

    This process is not fun Question: When asked during an interview to speak about your project, how detailed do you go?

    Obviously we can't really get into the professor's head here, but in my own experience, I have found that sometimes students use personal anecdotes as a way to talk 'around' the texts. It's unclear whether they really understand the assigned readings or even read it carefully, because it's fairly easy to extrapolate a broad theoretical idea (even just reading an online summary) to a personal story. It usually depends upon the individual students, but I do sometimes get frustrated with how derailed a class can get when people, rather than talking about the text or relating it to other texts, relate it to their own research. Further, having not done my own ethnographic research yet, it's hard to contribute if everyone is talking about their fieldwork. I think relating to personal experiences and research has its place. But that place is probably after we have walked through the text, make sure we understand it in depth and have identified some strengths and problematics.

    Nope- I'm applying for the Phd. Good luck with the MA admissions!

    If our top choice is Columbia and we haven't heard anything from them yet, should we lay that dream to rest?
