santhf Posted February 10, 2011 Posted February 10, 2011 Hey all, I was just wondering about the offer from Rutgers? I interviewed with them, but they made it seem as though they hadnt yet done offers. Its great news if you did get an offer, just makes me wonder for my own sake All the best, S
warpspeed Posted February 11, 2011 Posted February 11, 2011 did anyone else apply or have contacts about ASU? I haven't heard a peep from them or about them on here.
anthropologygeek Posted February 11, 2011 Posted February 11, 2011 No contacts with asu this year, but I do know for a fact they have an unofficially waitlist. Also, the whole school is having major budget issues and the anthropology department can't take on as many as they want. But I know they still admit people, they just have to be even more selective who they take.
persiandoc Posted February 11, 2011 Posted February 11, 2011 Hi Anthropologygeek, Could you please tell me more about Yale and NYU's interviews? I did three interviews at Yale last week, which was an acid test. I personally believe my interviews went well. One took longer than an hour and half. I got an interview for NYU for the coming week. I'm extraordinarily tense and out-stressed. I'm kinda numb these days. Could you please tell me ANYTHING that you know about these two schools' interview fashions? I mean how many do they normally take and how would they break their interviewees to their final list. I heard from an interviewer from Yale that they sent out invites to 25 applicants and I assume they would take some 4, 5 final admits. The other guy heard the same thing during their interview too. What about NYU? a bunch of thanks in advance, No contacts with asu this year, but I do know for a fact they have an unofficially waitlist. Also, the whole school is having major budget issues and the anthropology department can't take on as many as they want. But I know they still admit people, they just have to be even more selective who they take.
anthropologygeek Posted February 11, 2011 Posted February 11, 2011 Sorry I do not know anything about those programs. I know about some from my friends who are applying while finishing up their masters at my school and some from contacts I have made at various schools. I generally come on here on my way home from school because I know how I felt when applying and I try to help whenever I can

Just been so long since I submitted that app! (2 months) you'd think they'd have sent something out by now. if anyone knows anything about WashU, UCLA-Anthro or UChicago, also always welcomed!
persiandoc Posted February 11, 2011 Posted February 11, 2011 Breaking news!

Take everything result in the results section with a grain of salt unless there's multiple posts. I'm still waiting on a few schools, but i have a few acceptances too
moraurora Posted February 11, 2011 Posted February 11, 2011 Cuny officially rejected me yesterday afternoon. And I did not post the result in the result section, but based on the other results, I guess there was a wave of rejection yesterday. If you haven't heard back I guess it is a good sign. My feeling is they took a quick look and eliminated some in the first round...
persiandoc Posted February 11, 2011 Posted February 11, 2011 Hi there, plz tell us how you got your rejection notification? Did you get an email asking you to check your embark or what? did you get the rejection in your email or what? I haven't got any notification yet and as I checked my embark there was nothing mentioned there either, should I take it as a positive sign? Cuny officially rejected me yesterday afternoon. And I did not post the result in the result section, but based on the other results, I guess there was a wave of rejection yesterday. If you haven't heard back I guess it is a good sign. My feeling is they took a quick look and eliminated some in the first round...
persiandoc Posted February 11, 2011 Posted February 11, 2011 I'm so sorry to hear it though! do you have any acceptances by now? I got an email.
kateow Posted February 11, 2011 Posted February 11, 2011 It looks like UCLA has been slowly updating their online notification. People have reported rejections; mine still says undecided. You can check from the UCLA Grad Division website. Word from multiple sources at UChicago confirm that decisions have been made, sent upstairs, awaiting confirmation, to be sent out next week!

Where do you see any sort of status on the UCLA grad division site? I've been assuming no news is good news.

The wait for NYU is getting agonizing, especially since it is my top school and I know I am on the shortlist
warpspeed Posted February 12, 2011 Posted February 12, 2011 same, especially because i'm doing this right out of undergrad and its my first application season I am continuing to prepare myself for the worst. i keep telling myself it only takes one but I sure as hell hope I will get at least one. And hear soon.
ivanov Posted February 12, 2011 Posted February 12, 2011 Thanks for the update! You haven't heard if they did interviews, have you? When I visited, there was no mention of doing interviews by anyone (professors or graduate dept chair). I also met with the entire archaeology faculty when I was there, so I don't know if they do interview but waived mine since they'd already met me. I don't think they did interviews (they're a pretty small department and don't get as many applications as other places), and if they do them I didn't get an official one. I don't know either way though. Sorry I couldn't be more helpful. Good luck!

Good luck to you, too! Maybe we'll be lucky enough to end up at the same place! What kind of arch do you do?

Good luck to you, too! Maybe we'll be lucky enough to end up at the same place! What kind of arch do you do? 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?
m41 Posted February 12, 2011 Posted February 12, 2011 So...anyone have the word on Columbia or Harvard?
IrishScientist Posted February 12, 2011 Posted February 12, 2011 So...anyone have the word on Columbia or Harvard? Judging by previous years' posts, Harvard should be phoning people next week or the week after. Rejections arrive by mail in March apparently. Anyone heard from Berkeley-UCSF Med Anthro?
persiandoc Posted February 12, 2011 Posted February 12, 2011 As I posted earlier I did call the Harvard's anthro department and they said they'd make their notifications sometime around end Feb. From what they said, not mentioned straightforwardly tho, I gathered they wouldn't do interviews. Do you know if they conducted interviews last year or what? My friend at Harvard's anthro is in his 7th year and not familiar with the new policies and admissions processes, As the other anthros keep saying, Columbia is the king of tardiness, So...anyone have the word on Columbia or Harvard?
persiandoc Posted February 12, 2011 Posted February 12, 2011 anyone has got any interviews from CUNY or NYU yet? I mean in sociocultural.
