Okay, thank you! So if folks didn't get an interview invite, does that likely assume rejection?

Anybody heard from Harvard yet?

Hi both! Interview over! I had way overprepared for this so I did end up blanking quite a few times. But the team was really understanding. It was the program director, and three other professors from the archaeo department. They were very kind. First they introduced themselves, then they asked me about my project straight up. I was expecting an introduction from myself, or provide background details etc but they just wanted to know about the project. Then after explaining it, I had a few questions about whether there is something I look forward to studying theory/methodology wise. I said I can't be specific since I'm applying to the program to gain knowledge about it, so I ended up listing courses I am interested in taking. After that, they asked "why archaeology, and what faculty are you looking forward to working with?". Finally, they asked whether I had any questions. I blanked a lot, and looked at my notes and they did not mind at all. They were encouraging and carried the conversation. I am hoping for a positive response! Hope this helps! It's okay to be nervous, just tell them that upfront. There's only so much you can do in 20 minutes.

Ahhhh it'll be okay! I have no idea what to expect either LOL but let's hope they're asking for an overview of our proposed projects! I am happy to share questions with you after mine, if that'll be of any help! I'm going to go about it like it's a conversation and they are curious about our research interests. That's all there is to it

Congrats! Are you applying for the sociocultural track?

Hi guys, anybody else have an interview with Stanford Anthropology on the 13th?

Hiya! Starting this post to see if anybody else has applied, is waiting for their interview invite, or has already received one from the Stanford Anthropology PhD for Fall 2023 program! And wondering about potential questions they tend to ask during interviews? I applied for the archaeology track. Thanks and good luck to everybody applying!
