papayadance Posted March 2, 2010 Share Posted March 2, 2010 Just got the rejection email.... my 3rd rejection in a week. I just need some consolation (And those of you who got the "4 available PhD admissions" -- speak up! Congrats!!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AKJen Posted March 2, 2010 Share Posted March 2, 2010 Just got the rejection email.... my 3rd rejection in a week. I just need some consolation (And those of you who got the "4 available PhD admissions" -- speak up! Congrats!!) I heard on Saturday morning. Best wake up call ever. I think they're taking one person from each subfield and the prof I talked with said there were 170 applications for cultural anthro. I'd heard earlier this year that they were only taking 4 students, so I knew it was a complete longshot, but somehow the stars seem to have aligned for me. Sorry to all that didn't get the call, but we all have our disappointments. I didn't get an interview for the MIT HASTS program which had been one of my top choices.

AKJen Posted March 2, 2010 Share Posted March 2, 2010 Hi Jenny.. are you cultural anthro? i am on the waiting list for cultural anthro slot... Yes. I'm waiting to hear back from two other schools, but I can't imagine getting a better offer. I do have two fellowship applications out, so there is the possibility that I'll get outside funding and there might be a spot opened up because of that, but I'm not sure how they decide those things.
