  1. I live in California and received my acceptance via snail mail on 17th. I am actually surprised I heard from them so soon... I applied to the dual NRSD program so both AU and UPEACE admissions committees had to review my app.
  2. Graduate Admissions season for applications received in 2010 - 2011 academic year is now closed. Decision status will be announced via email to each applicant before 4 March 2011. Applicants offered admission must accept the offer by 15 April 2011. Offers not accepted by 15 April 2011 are voided. looks like we'll all know soon enough...
  3. I'm applying to Denver's MDP too! MDP programs are being funded by the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation. From what I understand, these programs are skill based and focus more on applied methodology rather than theory. I believe they're primarily meant for those who want to do on-the-ground development work. However, I am willing to bet most domestically-based organizations will look fondly upon them as well. As for UC Berkeley's program, it is still going through the approval process. UCs and California are in a financial reck at the moment, so there is a lot of red tape and bureaucracy to go through. But I was assured the program would be up and running for its first cohort in the fall of 2011. There are also other MDP programs at UC Davis, University of Minnesota and Emory, as well as around the world. If you haven't already, check out the MacArthur MDP website: http://www.macfound.org/site/c.lkLXJ8MQKrH/b.4711697/k.254A/Masters_in_Development_Practice.htm
  4. I recently took the GRE and received: 560 V, 640 Q, and 4 AW. Not so good, I know. I've never performed very well on standardized tests--I am a complete head-case. So, the question is: should I retake? If so, when? Any study suggestions? (I plan on applying to several environmental/applied anthropology MA/PhD programs for the Fall of 2011. I have some related research experience, as well as TAing experience. I also wrote an undergraduate honors thesis, for which I received competitive grant funding. I have an undergraduate GPA of 3.7 and expect to have great LORs.)
