Evoble

Hi All,
I am a primate behavioral ecologist and complex systems theory researcher, I look at social system evolutionary dynamics in cercopithecine primates. I am finishing my Master's in Primate Behavior at Central Washington University this spring. I applied to two PhD programs this cycle, Physical Anthropology at CUNY (not EEB relevant unless you work with primates), and Animal Behavior at UC Davis.
 
I interviewed for both programs. I was invited for interviews on 1/9/2021 for CUNY Physical Anthropology and for UC Davis Animal Behavior on 1/15/2021. I heard back from my potential advisor that I was rejected at CUNY on 2/11/2021 although I still haven't gotten an official rejection letter from CUNY yet. I heard back from UC Davis Animal Behavior on 2/23/2021 and found out I was accepted! Just wanted to let people in here know my results in case you applied to either of these programs. Don't lose out hope there is always a chance you will get in on the waitlist depending on how many people accept their offers!
 
Otherwise best of luck on the rest of your admissions processes!

Hi fellow EEBs, just thought I would give you all an update! I never heard from CUNY... so not looking good for me there. But I have three offers from University of Southern California, University of Kansas and University of Chicago. They are all really great options, Chicago was my first choice going into this so I am leaning towards Chicago right now. I really hope you all get good news - this was a brutal year!!

I was just accepted to the HST program at MIT/Harvard!! I can't believe it. Still part of me thinks they made a mistake and accidentally admitted me. 

Hi there, I'm a current in the MSCB program! You can DM me for questions

In an info session, they said that Pitt requires interviews (mostly as a formality) while CMU doesn't
