My advisor also told me to stop reading this website too. haha. But I'm still panicking. Absolutely nothing so far. I'd feel better if I got a rejection at least. I'll ideally get into GWU, where I go now, to just get my MA in Anthro, and then reapply to other places after I finish that. My profs keep telling me I'll get in, but who knows, this is such a crap shoot process.
HI again anthroman,
I wish we were not living in two time different zones. When I read this guy's post, you have no idea, how desperate I got. I told my partner that Good had taken up another student with a menial topic and I'm sure he wouldn't take up two advisees in a given year. I just felt (un)official rejections would be coming one after another and it was like the walls of the house were getting demolished with me at the center of the house. This guy's so offensive. I'm really happy you raised awareness and clarification. When I told the GSAS' secretary that such update had been posted in this forum, he asked me to stop reading this sick website and I felt really embarrassed. Not getting rejected until the last moment is better than an early indirect rejection. I don't know why Brown folks have given both of us such false hope. This scholar told me that their program would be perfect for me and I would be a great recruitment to their program. Wouldn't you naturally think you'd be at least short/wait-listed?
Guess what? my fingers are now fused as I've been keeping my fingers tightly intertwined since application deadlines,
