This wait is killing me! According to the site I should be getting some sort of news in the next week from 2 schools. But we'll see if that actually happens! I'm ridiculously nervous and excited at the same time. I've been checking my e-mail and this site every chance I get hoping to hear something! Additionally, having interviews is crazy! I was under the impression anthro didn't really do interviews?

Congrats on Ohio State! That's a great school! I also feel like I'm checking my inbox and this website all the time. I know it's still a little early but I'd really just like to be accepted somewhere! All my friends applying in other disciplines have officially been accepted to schools and I haven't heard anything! It's intensely nerve wracking!

Wow that's really impressive. I've only been to one of the schools I applied to and it was a looooong time ago. I did talk to faculty members though and talked to a lot of profs here at my undergrad to see what they knew and thought about various schools. But in the end, almost no ones does the sort of research I want to do, so that severely limited my choices. But I'm happy overall . . . though hearing back from schools would be amazing!

That's awesome! I haven't heard from them :-(bBut I'm not cultural so maybe that's okay? It's not at the top of the list but I think it would be alright to go there, especially since my family lives in NC. My top choices are Arizona State and WUSTL but the other schools would also be amazing so I'm not too worried about not liking where I get in.

Don't worry you still have four more schools to hear from! And my back-up plan mostly consists of getting a job somewhere on my campus and finishing another degree so it's not really anything exciting. I applied to Florida and UNC too! :-)

Yeah, I know it won't be the end of the world (and I've even made a sort of back up plan) but I'd really like to hear back. Plus I'm having a really difficult time gauging how worried I should be about getting in. I want to do very specific research but I have no idea how many other people are interested in the same sorts of things. Plus my GPA is lower than most because I have a science major. I just wish schools would let me know already. Especially the ones whose applications were due Dec. 1st. I think they've had plenty of time to make a decision!

Exactly! Sometimes I'm super calm about it, but lately I've been really anxious about hearing back from schools. It's horrible. :-(

Hi everyone! I'm really happy to have found this thread since I'm anxiously waiting to here back from schools. I'm interested in bioarchaeology an applied to: Arizona State Florida Wisconsin- Madison WUSTL UNC-Chapel Hill U Calgary U Alberta The wait is really starting to bother me since my science friends are starting to here back. Good luck!
