Does "Ivy" status matter in anthropology?
anthropologygeek replied to anxiousanthro's topic in Decisions, Decisions
I don't know for your subfield but I know for mine, my current non ivy school will get me the better job than an ivy school would but I think it may be case by case basis -
I know hard sciences value rank a lot more than most fields

Truc- it's funny for me to see so many students lose the focus of that article. It's like don't you want a job?

There are jobs out there, you just have to know where to look

I am currently in a country that I knew no words. Since I have been here I have picked up some of the language but not much and my research is going well without any help with the language barrier you just have to be creative.

The Waiting Game - Fall 2013 - Share your progress!
anthropologygeek replied to radiomars's topic in Anthropology Forum
I know the UC's have it rougher than most. I feel bad for this round of people if the post office stops delivering mail on Saturday's soon. I remember while applying, I hated Sundays because of no mail. I'm not sure if this will affect this round of applicants or next years applicants but I couldn't imagine this when I was going through the process -
when to attend conferences?

You should start going in your undergrad even if you have nothing to present -

Lapp- asu has contacted people both ways according to results board so if you haven't heard I'm pretty sure your on their unofficial wait list since I know they have one because when applying for masters I was accepted off of it in march. OSU generally does mid-late feb and MSU generally sends out results the last week of febuary due to profs not liking confrontation at conferences. When I was applying to phd programs, UNLV contacted me first week of march through email about an acceptance, which I had to turn down. UNLV also sends the acceptance throug snail mail but mind you the was a few years ago. -
Informal offer from #1 choice, nothing from #2

anthropologygeek replied to Pretty_Penny's topic in Waiting it Out
If both rejections and acceptances been sent then you are on an unofficial wait list. -

No matter how much you don't want to believe the results most likely people aren't lieing. -

Well in the US archeology programs are included in the anthro department and elsewhere they are separate. -
