I still think it's a mistake and it will be revoked or something...but I was accepted to UNC! I...I can't believe it. I thought there was no way. Went there for undergrad and will be thrilled to be back on campus. Go Heels!

@pmcol and @bonesandbakes, Penn doesn't require formal interviews, but usually does them when they need someone to be interested in something like a secondary adviser role (like someone that would be interested in advising the studying if the primary faculty member left) or when they're bringing people in off their informal wait-list. Not getting an interview doesn't mean much at this point, but I believe the department had the goal to make initial offers in the first week of February.

Hey everyone! Let's keep our hopes up and our chins up. I know it's tough seeing the decisions starting to roll in, especially if we're in our second or third application cycle (like me!). But, I am sure there is a place for each of our smart brains. Definitely, anxiety can creep up as the results (and anticipated rejection letters) unfold on gradcafe. Doesn't mean we aren't capable researchers. Whatever school we are admitted into will be the right one!

Hey all! Applying to sociocultural programs at Duke, Penn, MIT, Michigan, and Chicago. (Selection very limited by the fact that my partner is only considering law school in these locations.) Not really certain about my odds for any of them, so whatever happens happens. Couldn't help but notice that there was a Duke interview announced today--congrats!!  Does anyone know if Duke sends out interview requests all at once from one party or if individual faculty members send them out? 
PS: up this early just because I'm in London right now--being on this side of the Atlantic, especially during this snowstorm, has given me plenty of time to speculate and refresh my inbox lol

I am applying to sociocultural/medical anth PhD programs for Fall! NYU, UC Boulder, Notre Dame, Duke, Indiana University Bloomington, and Purdue. Everything's all turned in, now just to anxiously wait!!
Best of luck to everyone!

Linguistic Anthropology: Penn, Northwestern, NYU, Arizona, Chicago, UCLA
I don't see many people applying for linguistic anthropology in this forum tho
Submitted everything before Christmas and it was such a relief!

Socio-Cultural: Harvard, Columbia, Duke, Yale, UC Santa Cruz, UVA, Berkeley, (Geography), Chapel Hill, CUNY (Geography), Tulane, LSU.
That's more or less order of preference though Harvard and Yale are wild longshots and really Duke/UVA/UCSC are tied.
