RyanHGSE17 Posted January 17, 2020 Posted January 17, 2020 Hi all, I wanted to start a thread for folks to post interview invites to Anthropology programs. I saw a post in results from someone invited to interview for UC Santa Cruz's Anthropology program- yet previously there seem not to be interviews. Thought this would be a good place to share our knowledge of interview notifications. Here are the two I know: Columbia - Expected Interview Invite Week of January 27th Northwestern - Expected Interview Invite Week of Jan. 27th Curious if anyone else received invites to UC Santa Cruz, or other schools you know will extend interview invites. - R Waltzfordebby, anthro_anon and 0102030405 2 1
0102030405 Posted January 17, 2020 Posted January 17, 2020 This seems really helpful. UC Irvine usually have an interview weekend the last weekend of January/start of Februrary but nobody seems to have posted any invitations on the results pages. Would be interested if anybody does/has hear/d back from them? anthro_anon 1
anthro_anon Posted January 18, 2020 Posted January 18, 2020 To the original post, I add that Emory anthropology's interview weekend is February 6th-8th To the one right above, I also applied to UC Irvine and have not heard anything. Seems like they usually notify about interviews early-mid January, and this is already past the latest that they have ever done so. Perhaps they moved the interview date back or cut interviews? Curious if anyone has any insights.
Waltzfordebby Posted January 18, 2020 Posted January 18, 2020 To the original post, I posted the interview invitation from UC Santa Cruz. I’m an international phd applicant and I received the email from graduate coordinator. Few days later I was notified that Graduate studies director and another professor - I didn’t mention any of them on my SOP so I assume they are interviewing me as admission committee? - will interview me. I also applied to UC Irvine but haven’t heard anything from them yet.
SmauelJ Posted January 20, 2020 Posted January 20, 2020 Wondering if anyone has heard from UCLA OR knows if they do interviews... Checked posts in previous years - there are only offers and rejections, no interview post. Really nervous at this moment - haven’t heard anything from all the applied programs, guess rejections are on the way... Anyone?

Someone in the "Fall 2020 Applications" thread under the "Anthropology" category mentioned that UCLA doesn't seem to usually do interviews. Hope that helps!

Heard from graduate students at Santa Cruz that the department all admits students without interviews... Have no idea what is this year’s policy.

I didn't know about the no interview policy, maybe they're doing it differently this year. In fact my interview was yesterday and they told me that the decision will be made early - mid Feb.

AnthB Posted January 23, 2020 Posted January 23, 2020 @Waltzfordebby @SmauelJ I also applied to UCSC, just curious are you guys arch, bio, or sociocultural track?

AnthB Posted January 23, 2020 Posted January 23, 2020 Nope, no interview for me either. I was under the impression they didn't do interviews at all, but I'm not too worried about not having gotten an interview since I've only seen that one so far. Catlover 1
RyanHGSE17 Posted January 29, 2020 Author Posted January 29, 2020 Has anyone else heard from Northwestern or UT Austin yet?
UgnaHav2krythatw8 Posted January 29, 2020 Posted January 29, 2020 I heard from Northwestern, interview weekend set for last weekend in Feb.
RyanHGSE17 Posted January 29, 2020 Author Posted January 29, 2020 Thanks! You were the one who posted to the results? Did you hear from POI or from dept.?

soupnazi Posted January 29, 2020 Posted January 29, 2020 Has anyone heard anything from Columbia yet (interviews, decisions, etc.)? No news for me–I applied for the sociocultural track.

No news for me–I applied for the sociocultural track. Looks like one person posted a Columbia interview invite. Based on past years I'd expect today or tomorrow.
