I'm crushed, and confused, because it was an excellent fit, and my POI seemed very enthusiastic about everything. I've heard nothing from him this season since the application deadline though. I was accepted to Texas A&M anthropology w/ funding, but it's not a good fit for my partner (who is in linguistics). I am REALLY hoping for both of us to make Tulane EEB and linguistics/anthropology respectively, because I don't think I can take going to UT (family issues, parents live in Austin). I guess there's Hawaii too, but it's a stretch. I just don't know what to do Soooo, I heard back from my anth. prof. He still wants me, and hopes I get into EEB. I've been waitlisted (technically "shortlisted") to EEB (no official acceptances yet for anyone, just news from my prof., but my EEB prof also wants me. Uuuuuhhhhhhggggg! Tulane, if you want me, take me! Just throw some money at me too! Meanwhile, my partner has literally heard nothing, except an interview from UT anth., so I'm over here freaking out about everything I know, while he's freaking out about everything he doesn't know ?
Juanito Posted February 8, 2019 Posted February 8, 2019 My application status at UIC application portal changed to "Additional review required", anyone knows what that means?

Maybe I was on the long-list but not the shortlist? Either way, the end result was rejection. I just wish I could have saved those hours I rushed to put an application together at the last minute.

Maybe it is because my area of interest and the required language are both my native language, so there was no need for me to study any other foreign language through FLAS? Anyway, I am just crossing my fingers so I get to go somewhere. It would be interesting if I get rejected from all Anthro programs and get accepted to Religious Studies program, because I majored Religious Studies for both my undergrad and grad school.
footprint Posted February 9, 2019 Posted February 9, 2019 (edited) What about Northwestern? It seems that some people received interview invitations and invited to campus weekend. I did not heard anything from the department. Does it mean I am rejected but they are lazy to announce? Edited February 9, 2019 by footprint
Anzi Posted February 9, 2019 Posted February 9, 2019 Hi folks! If anyone hear about the response from UCSC please please please just briefly mention it, so I would know my situation. Thanks a lot!!! Good luck to everyone!
Cyrus6 Posted February 11, 2019 Posted February 11, 2019 Anyone want to claim the UC Davis acceptance? Congrats! I was wondering what an unofficial department email meant? Still waiting to hear back from them too.
FrigidSky701 Posted February 11, 2019 Posted February 11, 2019 Man, it stings to not hear anything from schools up to this point. It seems that Boston University has interview as well, so I guess if I did not receive any email for an interview, it means that I am out of it completely?
bonesandbakes Posted February 11, 2019 Posted February 11, 2019 @Cyrus6 Thanks! That was me. Basically I got an email from the chair of the evolutionary wing, my prospective adviser, and the head of the department. It said that they had recommended me for admission, and I should receive the official letter soon. They didn't say if anyone else had been notified, or if the cultural wing had finished making their decisions. Hope this helps!

I don't think UC Davis held admissions for the sociocultural wing this time.
Atlas Obscura Posted February 11, 2019 Posted February 11, 2019 Hey peeps, found I'm on the waitlist for Michigan's Anthro-History. Anyone else applied there? charliekkk 1

Hey, all the best. I also did, but haven't heard anything so I'm guessing its a rejection. Did you get the email from the POI or the Graduate School?
Atlas Obscura Posted February 11, 2019 Posted February 11, 2019 (edited) @Umairrasheed it was an email from Sue Douglas, the graduate coordinator/administrator. She said only 5% of applicants were offered admission. Edited February 11, 2019 by Atlas Obscura Umairrasheed 1

Also, would you mind sharing whether you were an in-state or out-of-state applicant? Edited February 11, 2019 by Cyrus6

Last year the emails calling for interviews came around mid-February, plus the deadline this time was Jan 15th. So I guess we should expect them in a few days (that is, if the universe does not hate me).
FrigidSky701 Posted February 13, 2019 Posted February 13, 2019 The anxiety is driving me crazy. How do you guys manage your nerves this time of the year?

If you haven't heard from them you may be on some unofficial wait list.

This has been one heck of an application season.
