Oh I wasn't asking about UChicago. I was asking about UT Austin.

Holy shit that's low.

Where are you getting these numbers from? If the grad cafe results page, I'd say that's not very representative at all. Very few applicants, in our field at least, use this site. Last year, at UT Austin, per their published admissions statistics, 54 applied to sociocultural anthro, 7 were admitted, 3 enrolled. If you head over to grad cafe results search, only 1 person posted admission to Austin Sociocultural (and only 1 other posted admission to Austin Anthro)..

Anyone heard from UT Austin? Cheers, Ryan

No, as I said earlier. This year interview invitations were sent one week later than usual. This is not "its original schedule" They are always sent on the the 3rd Friday in January. But, as the third Friday in January was a holiday, they were sent in the 4th. That is not the original schedule. Rejection and Admission notifications come at the same time for all candidates. Previously, when interviews were held in person over a weekend, sometimes faculty found ways of informally notifying candidates of their admission or favorability, in particular, for inside candidates. Rejection and admission notices will come during the final week of February, or, if notices are delayed by one week as invites were, you will receive notification in the first week of March. All notices are sent at roughly the same time, I believe. These notices are sent formally though the Apply Web system, unless you are a Fulbright scholar.

Third week in Feb, could be 4th this time as everything was a week delayed.

Nice! I applied mostly to work with Christen Smith- only to learn she's basically .25 antrho, .25 Africana, and .5 directing a center. Hasn't taken anyone in anthro in years. Ha! Was waitlisted last year- but I think it was more of a soft rejection thing. Would love to read other folks SoPs- send me a direct message if you'd like to swap / share!

Anyone hear from UT Austin at this point? Sociocultural Track? They're usually a little later in the game, but thought I'd ask-

Every year for the last ... 5 years at least(?)... they've sent on the third Friday of January. That would have been last Friday. My guess is that they delayed by one week because the first Friday was a holiday (Jan 1st). Or just nobody posted their interview invite. Last year mine came around 10:30 am EST on the third Friday. Classes started one week late this year at Penn, so I would not be surprised if they simply delayed a week. Usually the faculty meet during the second week of January, then each department chair sends a list of their finalists by that Friday to the dean. Then the dean and the admin people spend about a week reviewing and confirming the finalists. Then they send out an email to all the depatment chairs with a list of all the finalists. The admin making preparations, putts together the email list. Then, that Friday, all the finalists get the email from GSE (not the septic department or advisor), inviting them to doctoral weekend (which last I understood, was still going to happen but virtually this year, for obvious reasons). Some departments start reviewing and reach decisions internally even beforewinter break, but nothing is finalized until their deadline the dean (or vice dean or whatever it is) approves it. Very short answer, I'd imagine, if they haven't sent it yet, that wouldn't be unusual, and that they will send invites this Friday instead. Their interview invites are sent formally, everyone gets them at the same time.

So did UT Austin do interviews for all of their Anthro tracks?
-
Congratulations! Yeah it's looking like Columbia and Northwestern have sent their invites already. Sad.
-
Woohoo! That's wonderful! And thanks for getting back to me. I'm hoping to hear back from the sociocultural
-
Looks like one person posted a Columbia interview invite. Based on past years I'd expect today or tomorrow.
-
Thanks! Congratulations! You were the one who posted to the results? Did you hear from POI or from dept.?
