Congratulations on your offers! If I were you, I will choose top programs in geogrpahy where you got accepted, that is Penn State or UIUC.
Hi! You mention top programs. Is there a list of top progs in Geography? I'm an international student and don't have much of an idea about rankings, reputation etc

Thank you, I appreciate that!
@donaldduckheim @AwesomeWilliam and @LMSoc
Got a reply from JHU and it's bad news-
"The Sociology Department has sent out their offer letters. We are sorry that you were not accepted. With 182 applications our program is very competitive. You should be receiving official notice from the Admission’s Office today concerning your application.
We wish you all the best in the future.
Sociology Department
Johns Hopkins University"
Hoping for the best for y'all for the rest of your applications and please remember that this has been an insanely intense application season so please don't be too hard on yourself. Love&hugs

I've noticed that too, and I think maybe similar to some other programs they are running later to see if they can gather more funds for more people. The Cornell info on the portal I think might actually apply to more programs too, and that's why the process of potential rejection is being drawn out. It's just some schools are more formally notifying people while others aren't, hence why the rejections seem to take so much longer to receive. The schools accepting students want at least a decent cohort size this cycle given they took a class.
I'm not really banking on hearing positive news from JHU. Seeing everyone else's quals here has left me thinking I'd need a full-blown miracle to get in there ? lol. But I'm happy with my one acceptance and that's all I could really ask for. I'm hoping you all hear some good news from JHU soon!
I'm thinking of writing to the grad admissions officer on Monday morning just to get an idea as to what's happening.. I'll keep you guys posted

Well looks like there are at least two acceptances on results page now..
and I haven’t heard anything from JHU.
Guess I’m rejected ?
Lol so that's like 2 out of the total of 3 admits at JHU this year..
Gearing up for rejection at this rate! I just hope it's swift like a band-aid
But also, @Qahwwaa why would the coordinator say end of Feb though. They aren't taking that many candidates for it to be in phases..strange

Hello everyone, I just made a profile here and wanted to thank all of you for the helpful updates and kind words as we go through this phase together. I was wondering if anyone had heard back from McGill and Johns Hopkins. Also, is there anyone who has neither been accepted, waitlisted or rejected from University of Toronto ? My application status is still 'under review' and the grad coordinator hasn't replied. I am wondering if they have forgotten about my application lol
Heya
Applied to Johns Hopkins but not expecting anything since they're probably going to admit around 4 people this year. But results were announced around 18-19th feb for the last few years so we still have a few days to go + pandemic related issues such as higher number of apps might also effect the timeline.. Either way, we still have a few days to go in my opinion..

Hey guys! I got into CU Boulder with 4 year funding with tuition waiver. I've been offered around 22k a year with free dental health care. I have to pay a nominal amount towards fees and 10% of my student health insurance(350$), the rest will be covered the university.
Just wanted to ask if this is a decent offer? I'm an international student and I don't know much about funding packages.. Any help will be appreciated!
Also, would love to hear more about Boulder or the University+Department too!

Just Berkeley for an interview - no clue how to gauge how it went. It was less than 20 mins.
Re: Wisc Madison. I don't think they typically interview. None of the grad students that I talked to mentioned having done one. Before applying, though, I contacted a few profs via email and spoke with them over Zoom to chat about ideas and confirm fit.
Aah, I see. Well, I hope you hear positive news from Berkeley ASAP. Getting an interview invite in itself is amazing!
Have you applied for the human geography track or physical?
Re: WMadison, yeah from what I know they don't typically interview the candidates which is why I asked. We should hear back soon I guess.
It seems they released results between 4-6feb last year which is a few days away. Plus, I saw a post on the results page about an informal interview and that the committee is confirming the acceptances..

Berkeley (interviewed 2 weeks ago, but wasn't the poster from results page)
UCLA
Wisconsin-Madison
U of THaven't heard back from any of these places. Spoke with multiple potential supervisors in Dec/Jan - more apps than most years, but accepting "regular" amount of PhDs.
Congratulations for the interview invites!
Just wanted to confirm if you had an interview for Wisconsin Madison too? Or was it just Berkeley?Also, for Berkeley, are you applying for the Human Geography track or physical geography?
Sorry for asking too many questions, I'm just trying to gauge if there's any hope or if I should brace for bad news..

- Does the Anthropology Department at Stanford give any notice if you're waitlisted?
Have you also received no news at all from Stanford? Seems like interview invites went out last week so I'm wondering the same about waitlists etc.
Also, @anth8 would you mine sharing if you've applied for the culture and society track or the Archaeology track?

Wondering the same re: Berkeley – can anyone claim the interview?
I seems that this year's interview dates were exactly the same timeline as last year's? So, interviews on the 22-23rd of Jan. Decisions by first week of feb.
Really hoping against against odds here in the case that all interviews have already taken place.

Hey y'all
Just wanted to drop by and ask if anyone is heard from Berkeley, UWisconsin-Madison or CU Boulder?
I can see an interview invite for Berkeley and Wisconsin on the results page. Has anyone else been contacted?

Not trolls, sorry to disappoint. One is me. It's a rather short interview (15 mins) which seems hardly enough time to make or break ones' candidature, so was wondering what ones' chances of rejection are at this point...
Oh no please don't apologize! Big congratulations on the interview invite! No matter what the chances are at this point, you're still a step closer. Which is good!
So, since it seems invites for the interview round have gone out, I guess I'll gear up for a rejection then..
Issokay I suppose

Does anyone know how many Stanford normally shortlists for interviews versus how many they finally accept? And does everyone interviewed but then rejected end up on a waitlist? Thanks
Also - are we assuming that CUNY acceptances have been and gone at this point? ?
Did you receive an interview invite? I saw a few interview posts on the results page and was wondering if they were trolls...

Is the person who posted the Stanford Anthro interview invite here?

Hey there seems to be two posts about a rejection from Minnesota, is that anyone here? I haven't gotten anything either way on my MN app, so seems weird to me to have only rejections being posted.
Didn't post on the results page but I received a rejection from Minnesota too. It said there were 120 applicants for very few seats. If you haven't heard back, maybe it's a good thing? Perhaps, you made it to the shortlist?
Also, are you from a demography background? With the merger with the population center, I had to force my research into a demographic methods-friendly agenda which probably didn't fit well hence the rejection.. Just thinking out loud..

Oh okay, I understand now. I was confused because it said 51-100 under the rankings coloum. I used the filters and counted so now I have an idea.. Thank you so much!
I have received an acceptance to CU Boulder and wanted to get an idea about the general standing of the department.
Also, sorry I didn't apply to Clark!
