Ha, yeah, I can completely relate to that feeling. The one linguistic acceptance says "informal" notification but now there's a sociocultural acceptance and an archaeology wait list. Who knows~ maybe these could be informal too or maybe different subfields are hearing at different times. Either way I'm trying to hold out hope till the end of the week! When I emailed my POI last week to ask about decisions she said they were still being finalized but asked me what my other offers were (and said that that could "speed along the process") so I told her but I'm still waiting to hear back (hopefully that helped my case? *fingers crossed*)

If you don't mind me asking, how formal was your interview? I had a Skype session before apps, one in January, and then my research advisor had one (on my behalf) in February all with my POI but they all felt very informal and I haven't heard from anyone else in the department so I'm not really sure of where I stand...

Mostly just UPenn! Did anyone here apply there for BioAnth (and if so did you ever hear back for an interview or even a decision?)
