My POI actually sent me an email yesterday saying that the final official acceptance letters and financial packages will be sent out in mid-late March.
I got an email about it too! I didn't realize it would be that much later but at least there's a timeline now!

Have you heard from Georgia yet?
I got the official funding offer from the anthro department on Thursday. The official university acceptance was in my portal last Wednesday though.

Hey y'all, I've received three rejections so far (Stanford, UC Irvine, and Yale), and am waiting on hearing from UT Austin. My hopes are pretty low right now as I am applying right out of undergrad...does anyone know of any terminal MA programs? I know they have to be out there I just can't seem to find any - I think it'd definitely help my application in future cycles if I already had an MA
UMass Boston has a super solid program... especially if you're into historical arch. It's partially funded too. North Dakota State University has a masters program with some super cool professors. I believe it is fully funded as well. Going abroad and doing a Masters in Europe is always an option too, although it's definelty not the same as a US based masters. Depending on what you want to do that may be totally fine. It won't necessarily save you time if you go back and do your Ph.D, but it would demonstrate research abilities.

Posting again to also claim the recent UCSB archaeology acceptance. Similarly I didn’t interview but I had talked with POI twice before applying. Seems like UC schools are making moves today so good luck to everyone! 💚
Have you heard from the anthro department about funding yet? My POI emailed me about my acceptance and said I would get the official university notification and funding info soon. I got the university acceptance but it's been a few weeks and I haven't heard anything else from the department yet.

Thanks for replying! I emailed the department and official letters will be out later this week with funding info and everything.
Oh sweet! Thanks so much, I was wondering what the time line was!

Hi, did you receive an official letter from Georgia or was it informal from your poi?
I got a weird email about setting up my MyUGA account that I will use for the duration of my email. Logged into the portal to see if there was any new info, and found the official acceptance letter from the university. Haven't heard any specific funding info yet (other than fully funded from the POI/interview).

They did say that the online interview was the "next step of the admissions process" in the email to schedule the interview - but you never know! They said they'd be doing interviews over the next couple of weeks and if I remember right said that people would be hearing back by the end of February. But maybe take that with a grain of salt bc I was incredibly nervous and it was v early in the morning for me.
Yeah that's what I was told during my interview too!

I applied to UCSB, University of Illinois at Chicago, Washington University, UCB, and University of Georgia. I interviewed at UGA for archaeology last week too. I'm not sure if they sent out all the interview invites already, but they did mention having another couple weeks of interviews before reaching final decisions.

Hey, just saw this forum is picking up so checking in. The results page says that Michigan and CUNY have sent out invites already. Has anyone here heard from them? Also, how is everyone's cycle coming along?
I applied to U-Mich last year and I'm not actually sure they interview anyone? I ended up straight on the waitlist sans interview. I was archaeology if that helps.

Is anyone still waiting for NYU or Berkeley (social anth)? Berkeley said they'd have results sent in the 'near future', so I hoped it'd come out this Friday but nothing. I would really love to move on. Very annoying to wait 1 month to just get another rejection ...
I heard back from NYU with a rejection beginning of last week (I applied for the archaeology track though). Didn't apply to Berkley though so I can't help you there.

I am on the waitlist at my top choice. If you don't mind, can I ask how did you find out you're the first on the waitlist? I'm thinking of sending an email to learn about my place, but not so sure how to ask in an appropriate way.
I'm also wait listed! The wait list was described as "short" but other than that no other info. I think we just have to cross our fingers and hope for the best at this point haha.

Hello everyone! Bad bad Tuesday. Back to back rejections within an hour. UT Austin and then UNC Chapel Hill. I guess this year is pretty much going downhill.

I just got rejected from UNC too!

For NYU do you guys know if there are four spots total for anthropology? Or just for sociocultural?

I applied to UCLA also!
Awesome!! Best of luck! Did you apply to anthro or the cotsen institute? Also any idea if they interview? I haven’t gotten a straight answer from previous years’ posts.

I applied to NYU too! Also University of Michigan, Boston University, UNC, UCLA, and Harvard all for arch.

Generally you don't want to have to take loans and pay for your graduate degree out of pocket. Also, a lot of times in anthropology having an MA doesn't actually save you that much time and you end up having to repeat portions of it when you do your PhD. There are definelty some masters programs out there with some capacity of funding. If your discipline switch is holding you back I'd look into something like that as opposed to having to pay fully out of pocket for Yale.
