verbatim Posted February 13, 2011 Posted February 13, 2011 Hey has anyone heard anything from UT Austin yet? Any idea about when they might be responding?
kateow Posted February 13, 2011 Posted February 13, 2011 Wow I somehow missed that links existence entirely. It still says "Submitted" so who knows what that means. I'm in Andean studies, particularly cultural transmission, immigration and mortuary culture on the south coast. What about you? So applying to Chicago to work with Kolata? I'm doing the Eurasian steppe--specifically the emergence of political complexity in the Trans-Urals.
jlbigham Posted February 14, 2011 Posted February 14, 2011 Hey has anyone heard anything from UT Austin yet? Any idea about when they might be responding? Haven't anything from UT Austin yet... I applied to the MA program for Social Anthropology.
persiandoc Posted February 14, 2011 Posted February 14, 2011 to those anthros who didn't get an interview from NYU: you're not out yet! they're gonna make their final notifications by the end of next week or so and there's the possibility of acceptance without a prior interview! cheers,
kelly315 Posted February 14, 2011 Posted February 14, 2011 Still waiting to hear from Colorado, Boulder, Michigan (Ann Arbor), and Virginia. Sociocultural MA/PhD. Assuming that the lack of an interview call means that I won't be getting into Virginia. Any thoughts or news?
Cashmere Posted February 14, 2011 Posted February 14, 2011 For those who applied to Duke -Evol Anthropology, decisions should start going out in Feb according to GS secretary. I'm not sure I can wait that long without losing my mind!! Ahhh, I'm starting to get anxious about hearing back from Duke. Knowing that it's ever so close doesn't help the situation. On another note, does anyone have any information on the state of things at UCLA? I know there have been some whisperings/results from the archeology hopefuls, but have any biological applicants heard anything as of late? The application deadline was right at the beginning of December so I can't help but feel like I'm right on the edge of hearing something.

There was a link posted in the earlier pages where you can enter your email and see the status of your application. Mine just said "Submitted." You're right about how the deadline was early. Hawaii and Berkeley were due December 1st so I guess I'm not surprised that my 1st response was from Hawaii this past weekend through mail: rejection. *sigh*

I am waiting on the med anthro app there.

Completely separate from Anthropology Phd. We should all be getting our notifications around the same time according to my contact.

I figured it was worth a shot to ask. Things have been pretty silent for me thus far; now I guess it's right back to waiting.
persiandoc Posted February 14, 2011 Posted February 14, 2011 Hi Irishscientist, Just saw a post in the results page stating acceptance to Chicago sociocultural anthro. Isn't it you by chance? I hope it's you anyway! Keep us updated! Did you do your HASTS interview? Good luck

I hope it's you anyway! Keep us updated! Did you do your HASTS interview? Good luck No not me. I just saw that there now. I haven't heard anything yet...... My interview for HASTS is next week; I'll let you know how it goes! How are your apps going? Any acceptances yet?
anthro.fish Posted February 14, 2011 Posted February 14, 2011 Just saw that Cornell gave out an acceptance (Ph.D. in archaeology). Man oh man; bracing for news.
LongGraduatedStudent Posted February 15, 2011 Posted February 15, 2011 I emailed the NYU grad sec. about when decisions would be made. When I get a response, I will tell you. I specified that I was applying for biological anthropology, so whatever response I get might only be valid for biological anthro.
persiandoc Posted February 15, 2011 Posted February 15, 2011 Hi Irishscientist, I'm having my NYU interview today. I'm losing all my senses now not because of the interview but for I haven't received any formal acceptance yet. I think I should be put in Vita (zone of social abandonment) because I can't do anything these days, merely lurking among the bunch of posts, emails and different anthro departments websites, I couldn't even go the gym last night, however, I ended up no news. Do you think no news is good news or what? fingers crossed you'd hear from Chicago in the next few days. I told you before, I am sure you'd get in both MIT and UCB/UCSF since you are a good fit for them,
suerte Posted February 15, 2011 Posted February 15, 2011 Hi NB - best of luck in getting into the other Anthro programs! =)
mutualist007 Posted February 15, 2011 Posted February 15, 2011 Is it possible perhaps that some of us have been unofficially waitlisted without notification? Say one of your top picks shows five results; 1 acceptance, 1 interview, and 3 rejections, but you know nothing. What should anyone take from that if they haven't heard a response either way? Right now I vacillate between rejection and a "maybe", but wait for confirmation.

Do you think no news is good news or what? I know, isn't it strange how hard it is to focus on other things with all this uncertainty lurking around? Personally, I've received 1 official rejection, 1 unofficial rejection, and have 4 applications waiting out in limbo. It's hard to know whether to put Plan B into action (ok let's be honest.. haven't actually created a Plan B yet). Any news on Michigan Ann Arbor, WashUÂ or UNC Chapel Hill greatly appreciated!
jth24 Posted February 15, 2011 Posted February 15, 2011 Anyone else apply to Texas A&M? I emailed the advisor an updated CV last week and he said they were meeting "relatively soon." I've applied to the MA in Nautical Archaeology.
rudy-dugoo Posted February 15, 2011 Posted February 15, 2011 Received acceptance email from UNC Chapel Hill yesterday for anthropology PhD... Anxious to get a response from Duke cultural anthro... anyone heard from them?
anthroapp11 Posted February 15, 2011 Posted February 15, 2011 Received acceptance email from UNC Chapel Hill yesterday for anthropology PhD... Anxious to get a response from Duke cultural anthro... anyone heard from them? Thanks-- good to know I'll receive good news soon, or presume it isn't coming!
IrishScientist Posted February 15, 2011 Posted February 15, 2011 Seems like UChicago cultural anthro acceptances have been emailed out. Having not heard anything I am presuming I can expect a rejection some time down the road. Anyone heard anything else? acceptances or rejections?
Siad Posted February 15, 2011 Posted February 15, 2011 Thanks-- good to know I'll receive good news soon, or presume it isn't coming! I had an interview with Duke. They said they'll take final decisions on the 21st.
persiandoc Posted February 15, 2011 Posted February 15, 2011 My dear friend, Irishscientist, I wouldn't say you're rejected since they made a couple of acceptances in two consecutive days. Please stay tuned and I'm sure you'd get in either Berkeley or MIT and it goes without saying you'd stand a great chance at Harvard too as far as you told me about your proposed project. you're a good fit for these three. Even if you're rejected from Chicago, heaven forbid, it'd be apparently due to the compatibility issues, etc. I just did my NYU's interview and it was so cool. I could say it was more of a connaisance conversation rather than clarification of projects, background, etc. I hope I would hear back from either Yale or NYU with good news instead of rejection/waitlist. Just letting you all know they'd make the final decisions by the end of THIS WEEK. Seems like UChicago cultural anthro acceptances have been emailed out. Having not heard anything I am presuming I can expect a rejection some time down the road. Anyone heard anything else? acceptances or rejections?
kateow Posted February 15, 2011 Posted February 15, 2011 I'm the arch acceptance at UChicago on the results... From what I've heard from others, the acceptances have been sent out, but no one I know has gotten either rejections or notifications that they are on the waitlist. So there's still some hope--there is a waitlist!
