PM me if you have specific questions regarding Draper.

Forsaken, when I was applying for Masters in 2009, I got in Columbia anthro MA program, which was then a one year only program and it was super expensive. I finally went to NYU to get my Masters in an interdisciplinary program in humanities. That means, prior to this application circle, I did not have any specific theory or methodology training in anthro or any disciplinary program, and I always thought that was something that would put me on a bit of (probably tremendous) disadvantage. However I did get into two pretty good programs in anthro with funding and I also get into a Ph.D program in English (fully funded) - English is not even my first language! So all I want to say now, echoing one of the POIs that I visited a week ago, is that let your research speaks for itself. You can definitely go for a Latin American studies program now and craft a research plan that would get you into the anthro program that you want. In fact, You should go for any Master program with the mindset and confidence that it will lead you to a great Ph.D. Congratulations.

Anyone want to claim the Irvine rejection? I emailed them earlier when they had first round of acceptances, and they had told me that they were going to have second round. My website says it does not display admission status, and that I should wait for email. Which website did you check your status. thanks.

does anyone know anything from U Florida? Who wants to claim the acceptance? and Congratulations.

Definitely go with B for me. It is exactly the situation/dilemma that I am going through. One of the professors at Santa Cruz and I almost share identical research interests, but I am provided no funding at all. It costs over 50K a year to attend UCSC, which is way beyond my capability to pay. I would say, I LOVE being in academics, but not to the point where everything else has to be forfeited.

Hey there, like to know about columbia I well. I actually emailed them today but got no response.

anyone else who also applied to UCSC and got good news? I got an email from DGS saying it is extremely difficult for them to fund international students, and it sounds like that I won't get financial support at all, and that non-resident tuition is almost twice as much as the regular resident tuition. If you are on the same boat with me, or know anything about the program, please let me know. I hope I can get the finance to work out. Thanks guys.

Thanks Strudelle! People who still waiting to hear good news stay positive! This acceptance came after three rejections, so you will never know what will happen, thus you should never lose hope.

Yeah! I have never been to the West, but I always hear great things about it. I have heard the campus has gorgeous views.

Thanks! I know, that's a great program! I didn't think I stand a chance at all. Truth is, you will never know...

Got in UC-Santa Cruz! My first Ph.D acceptance

ah, ok. Hope I didn't ruin it.

Wow, but I saw quite a few people got to know the result this way. Well......

hey all, so when you email your POI regarding result, and he/she says it is a tremendous breach of protocol to reveal anything about the process or result, does that imply a rejection? It that common?

Just got admitted into Brandeis! YAYAY!
