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. 

For everyone looking at UCLA seriously, this is a tweet about our stipends. 
Actually if you're looking at any of the UCs, this website is an excellent resource to consider. The housing struggle is very real. Please factor it in to your decisions!

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. 

I got accepted at Penn last year and I believe all of the people who are eventually accepted get interviewed. However, each individual POI sets up the interviews and some take more time to do it than others. We just started the second semester here, so I'd give it more time before assuming it's a no. My DMs are open if you want to ask more specifically about Penn or your application.

Is the person who posted their interview for sociocultural anthropology at University of Arizona on the results page on here by any chance? My POI reached out to me as well on Jan 17 via e-mail and asked for a Skype conversation on Jan 21.
 
Skype went well. POI asked questions about my research experience and specifics about my dissertation idea. POI said they would reach out to me personally to let me know the results and I would receive an official notification from the department in the next few weeks. UA is my #1 choice so I’m hoping I get in!

That was me! Email came from the Graduate Admissions Director inviting me to a weekend visit and interview. Hope this helps!

The key is to already be crazy. Then you just feel normal.

Hi all,
I wanted to start a thread for folks to post interview invites to Anthropology programs. I saw a post in results from someone invited to interview for UC Santa Cruz's Anthropology program- yet previously there seem not to be interviews. Thought this would be a good place to share our knowledge of interview notifications.
Here are the two I know:
Columbia - Expected Interview Invite Week of January 27th
Northwestern - Expected Interview Invite Week of Jan. 27th
Curious if anyone else received invites to UC Santa Cruz, or other schools you know will extend interview invites.

This seems really helpful. UC Irvine usually have an interview weekend the last weekend of January/start of Februrary but nobody seems to have posted any invitations on the results pages. Would be interested if anybody does/has hear/d back from them?
