Someone wrote that they were rejected from "Virginia U" Anthropology on the Results page- Could you tell me, did you mean University of Virginia?

Strangefox- Yes, I'd been in contact with 3 different professors, and they all said nice things.

I'm not really sure how I could possibly make myself a better applicant, yet I'm still rejected while I find out that those who got in were far less qualified than me. I mean, 3.96 gpa (4.0 major), summa cum laude, graduation with research distinction, GRE 670, 670, 5, Research assistant for 2 different professors, 2 professional publications, full research funding awarded as undergrad, undergraduate honors thesis, and excellent recommendations. Anyone have any ideas about what I can do when I apply next year (Michigan, Virginia Anthropology) or why I wasn't selected over people far less qualified (worse grades/scores, no research experience or publications?) Any thoughts would be appreciated.

"A decision has been made. Your program of application will inform you of the decision." -Michigan Well, That's not very promising. Letter on the way and no email? I'm not sure why, because everyone I've talked to who's gotten in was less qualified than me.

Still waiting to hear from Colorado, Boulder, Michigan (Ann Arbor), and Virginia. Sociocultural MA/PhD. Assuming that the lack of an interview call means that I won't be getting into Virginia. Any thoughts or news?
