I've had interviews for cultural anthro at UT Austin and UPenn so far.

Is it common for committees to really grill you on the logistics of your proposed project? I have done so poorly on these interviews (Penn especially) that I just feel like an imposter and I probably shouldn't have applied at all. I sounded so incredibly incompetent in my interviews as I stuttered through answers and vaguely answered their questions (if I even sufficiently answered them in the first place, which I don't even know if I did). I should probably give up on this honestly. Not looking for sympathy or anything, just feeling really depressed

Hey, think of it this way--you got interviews at two of the best prestigious cultural anthropology programs in the country. You definitely should keep at it if this is something you want to do. You have the skills.

Really interesting to see the UC Irvine interview on the results page, over a week after the first rush of interview notifications. Perhaps the rest of us still have a chance ?

Best of luck to everyone waiting on notifications from all of their programs of interest.

Does anyone know if UPenn anthro interviews all eventual admits, or does that depend on the POIs? Curious if maybe that ship has already sailed after seeing a couple of interview notifications on the results page.

Also got an interview at Emory will you be attending?

Yep! It is one of my top two programs in terms of interest level. Looking forward to it and curious how many prospective students will attend.

To the original post, I add that Emory anthropology's interview weekend is February 6th-8th 

To the one right above, I also applied to UC Irvine and have not heard anything. Seems like they usually notify about interviews early-mid January, and this is already past the latest that they have ever done so. Perhaps they moved the interview date back or cut interviews? Curious if anyone has any insights.
