I was accepted at UCSC and just got my official acceptance letter on Monday (after being notified approximately 3 weeks prior and being given some details of funding just at the end of last week), so I'm sure yours will be coming very soon! If you're concerned you can always email your POI and ask for a general timeline as they may know when you should expect it.

Has anyone heard back at all from the Archaeology and the Ancient World program at Brown?

Hi! I had an interview with UCSC mid-January, but I know that was specifically for the archaeology track. I still have yet to hear back regarding decisions, but from my understanding that will happen once all subfields have finished their selections and they meet as a larger department.

The last few years they've tended to do interviews at the end of January with results released mid-February, so nothing to worry about yet if you haven't heard anything!

Hi! I received the rejection from UIUC and the interview request from UCSC. I think most schools will be going through interviews/early results over the next few weeks, so I'm sure you'll hear something soon. But if not, most results are usually out by the end of February (though some can go as far as April) so hopefully you don't have to wait too long! Good luck on your applications!

I've applied to 11 schools this cycle, after only applying to 8 last year and not receiving any offers (but very hopeful this year!). I'm wondering if the lack of discussion on the forum this year indicates that the applicant pool is not quite as large as it was last year? So far I've already received 1 rejection and 1 interview request, but nothing yet from the other 9 schools (as is to be expected at this point in the year). Just have to wait and see what happens over the next couple of weeks or so - good luck to all other applicants!

I haven't heard anything back either, but I checked on the admissions section of their website and they say "the department admissions committee announces its selections by end of April". So it may still be a little while longer until we hear anything unfortunately...
