hear anything from the big C anybody?

so i gather that no one here has heard yet. weird man... its march 11th. its such a small program at 10 people that i'm surprised they dont have a list already.

any news, anyone?

riddimorrhyme: it ain't over till its over. but it does feel unlikely that they would have TWO (that we know of) waitlisted people for the same sub-field. man, i hate this waiting game.

@riddimorrhyme: its good to hear that you haven't from Harvard (South Asia) as yet because i was getting pretty sure that my roommates had misplaced the rejection letter. i'm not expecting it but then again who doesn't hope?

@fortiesgirl: no you're not alone. yes it has been hard seeing all those exuberant reactions to accept decisions. i am on a university campus and everyday i bump into someone who has heard back from somewhere in the affirmative. i have begun internalizing the idea that i may have to go bat next year again. looks like you have one in the bag. good luck with the financial aid decision.

this is the only anthro program i applied to. applied to 4 history programs. still waiting to hear from two. given the odds this year, and from what i already hear about the programs i haven't heard from as yet, i am preparing myself for reapplying next year. i'll have my MA thesis done by then too which might improve my application. i regret not applying to more schools.

Yes, I am waiting on three schools as well. With no acceptances as yet it has been very hard for me not to pick up the phone and dial them up. But I am trying the remain the master of this domain. I hope I don't break down before the ides of March - which I agree is a fair time to call. I would like my life back.

Oh so they have notified some students? Were they all accepts? I hear they take only about 10 for the PhD. Yes, I heard back from the prof on Sat the 28th. So hopefully they are still deliberating. Hopefully one of us here will hear something soon.

@strangelight: yes, I got that nice letter too. i am treating it just as any other standard-cold-hearted reject notification. frankly, a lot of people seem to have gotten that letter.

@sra08: ok. i'm sort of in a similar boat. your columbia is my harvard. may the 3% lord of odds have a change of heart.

sra08: why are you assuming that you have been rejected? is it because some acceptances went out around then? is it possible that they are taking more time to make up their minds about your file?

Is there anyone who has yet to hear from Harvard? I saw a few accepts early on and quite a few rejects last week of Feb.

Any updates? I've applied to socio-cul. I wrote to a faculty member recently and he said he was impressed with my application but that it was a tough year with shrinking positions so it was all up in the air. I don't want to lose hope but I'd like my life back.

I have not heard from Harvard and Michigan YET. Anyone have updates? I'm 0-2 now and am losing hope rapidly.
