Bump!

Thanks! I will definitely add some of these to my list

Hello, hello! I'm moving to Cambridge early so I have time to adjust to my new environment I know once I begin my program, I won't really have that much time to explore without any stress! Any suggestions on what I should do/see/visit during the summer before I begin? (So far, I have the Freedom Trail and the Museum of Fine Arts on my list.) Any suggestions will be welcomed!

I'm visiting UCLA! PMing you

YAY!!! Congrats!

I just got an (informal) acceptance from Tulane. So FYI, I think the department is not done notifying those who have been accepted. Hope this is helpful to some of you who have not heard anything yet. It ain't over 'til it's over! Please PM me if you want any more information!

Congratulations, I've heard great things about the anthro program there! I'm a big fan of Anna Tsing

I also went over the word limit by a lot (mine was almost 1500 words as well). After I saw the posting here about the word limit, I emailed the department secretary with the new shortened version, and she very kindly swapped it out for me. Just FYI.

Congrats to everyone's acceptances today! I also just got accepted to Irvine's anthro program! Anyone else going to UCI in March to visit?

Also got the Emory invite! I am PMing you, monfemme

I think I only uploaded the BA & MA transcripts as PDFs. So I think your advisor is right!

Yes, that certainly does sound like a good sign! I applied to UVA as well, but haven't heard anything from them.. ;(

Noticed someone posted they got an email from Virginia about the adcom meeting tomorrow! Was this email sent to just the shortlisted candidates?

Congratulations! Hope the funding situation works out

Hey guys, I also wanted to join in to say I applied to Tulane! I am in the socio-cultural camp, interested in nationalism/media/capitalism studies. I already submitted the application, but I guess we won't be finding out anytime soon considering the due date is Feb. 1? I can't wait for this application season to be over!

If you go back to your original Columbia application (https://app.applyyourself.com/?id=col-gas), there should be a new link in that application homepage.... The link on mine says: "Decision Status: Available beginning 3/15/2012.....Your application decision is now available." If this link doesn't show up on your application homepage, I guess the decision hasn't been made for your application. Hope this is helpful to some people.

Just FYI, I got my official reply from Columbia, March 15th (via email, which links you back to the application website). I wasn't accepted to the PhD, but accepted into the MA with no funding. You should check the application website (there should be a new link to find out your official results.)

it's already march! anyone still waiting to hear the final (probably rejection) word from stanford, berkeley, or columbia? i really wonder what's taking so long to give out these rejection emails..... i can't imagine it taking that long to click the "send rejection email" button....put me out of my misery! on another note- anyone know if columbia gives any funding to those that are bumped down to a masters offer?

hey there, i have gotten a string of disappointing news for my cultural anthropology phd applications. today, i got a full-tuition masters offer from university of chicago (instead of being admitted to the phd program)... this definitely doesn't cover living costs for the year that i will be spending studying, but my parents are so desperate for my situation that they'll probably cover that for me...ha. anyways, i am still painfully waiting to hear back from 3 more schools (but from what i have seen on this forum, i should have heard a long time ago if i was accepted, so i'm going to rule those schools out mentally..for now). BACK TO MY MAIN POINT (sorry for the long intro), is there anyone who is in a similar boat here?
