Posting to claim a rejection from UVA. Received an email to check portal and there it was, a very generic rejection letter. It wasn’t my top choice and I knew I wasn’t a great fit. But still, first application cycle, first decision, and first rejection. So, it sort of hurts my confidence. Duh. Still waiting on UMass Amherst, UC Irvine, and Brandeis. Hoping, but not too optimistic haha.

Hey. Thanks a lot, really. I mailed them to know this and they affirmed that the committee figured out my track from my application materials. They said my application is currently under review for sociocultural and I should expect to hear in two-three weeks! Fingers crossed.

Hey. I just had an issue on which I am freaking out. In one of my applications, there was a section for 'Specialization/Subfield' where I had to choose sociocultural (for me). I think I missed it by mistake and that section shows blank when I log into my application. Will this affect my application badly? Should I mail the grad admission assistant to let them know about this and whether they could consider my application under sociocultural? Is emailing them necessary or they would anyway understand my subfield when they read my SOP? Please let me know what you people think of this!

Hey. I'm waiting on UVA. But it might just be too early to hear anything from them at this point? Not sure though. Anyone about any information on UC Irvine? I saw two people posting interview calls on the results page around 10 days back. Any further updates? Thanks, in advance and good luck to all of you!

Hey. Thanks for this. I thought about it and realised I am freaking out too much and being a bit impulsive than good. So, I decided I'll control myself and wait it out till the end of this month, at least. And see what comes/doesn't come my way. Thanks a lot for your message! Really hope we all do get offers from the schools we wish to join!

Hey. I was wondering if it's okay to reach out to my POI I've been in touch with for my application asking them around when should I expect any intimation regarding my application? Does that seem like a good idea?

Just hang in. I am sure we'd know very soon and life would take it's course anyway. Honestly, I was in some sort of a crisis when I put together my UCI application, while I was also writing my master's semester exams. So, I'm sure my application is not the very best, but I keep telling myself it's the best I could do at the moment. The later applications went far better. I am still keeping some hope up for UCI. And since one person recieved a call for interview yesterday, I think, if I have a chance, I should hear from them in a week Max for an interview. Let's see how it turns up. Legit freaking out haha. I'm almost in the same spot with UCI as you are with Duke. I sincerely hope you get your mail the soonest

Hi. No idea about Duke. Let's keep checking our emails and the results page (although that makes me so much more anxious) ! Good luck.

Hey. It would be great if you could let us know which schools you heard from? I'm expecting to hear something from UCI soon. The other schools I applied to (UMass, UVA, and I just submitted Brandeis) I think come up with decisions a bit later. Keeping fingers crossed for all of us. Let us hope for the best!

Hey! Thanks. I just checked. They got intimation yesterday. So, I'm keeping fingers crossed for this week. Good luck to both of us!

As far as I checked the previous year's timelines, UCI Anthro mails applicants shortlisted for interview from second week of Jan till Jan end max. Acceptances, it seems to me, are sent out around the same time as you noted with regard to History. I'll check out the thread. Thanks a lot! Good luck to you!

Any update on any of your applications for 2022 grad school in Anthropology? I have applied to only three schools (and am finishing up application for another now) this year because I'm in the middle of a lot of stuff while still pursuing my master's at my home country. But I did select the 4 schools on the basis of maximum alignment of my research interests with the department and it's faculties. I'm just curious to know if any of you have heard from any schools regarding anything, including interviews or so. Let us know here? I haven't heard from any yet, although I know it might be boderline too early. Good luck to all applicants!

Thanks a lot! Yes. Fom previous year's threads, it seemed to me that UCI starts emailing from around the second week of Jan. But still wanted to confirm if anyone has received any communication yet. I'm keeping my fingers crossed, really. I hope the best for you too. Keep posted, in case you have any updates? I'll do the same as well.

Anyone else applied to grad school (PhD) at UC Irvine and University of Virginia? Anthropology programme? Any updates?
