anth1234 Posted January 24 Share Posted January 24 (edited) Just got an interview request for Vanderbilt Phd in Anthropology (bioarchaeology focus) this afternoon! Haven't heard back from my other schools other than Ohio State which rejected me outright (I have a suspicion the professor I wanted to work for ultimately decided not to take a student and retire soon). Also I applied to 8 programs! 1. UC Berkeley 2. Harvard 3. Vanderbilt 4. Arizona State 5. Stanford 6. Cornell 7. Brown 8. Ohio State Edited January 24 by hms59 Mooshie 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

taayrup12345 Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 Hey all, for awareness, I saw on reddit that someone received an interview request from UPenn for the archaeology subfield. I'm not sure if they are on grad cafe, but it was helpful for my anxiety (thank you)! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homo nervous Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 Hey fellas! Bioanthro Ph.D. applicants here! Still heard nothing from NYU, Upenn, Penn State, Stony Brook, UT-Austin. I also applied to HEB at Harvard and the Integrative Anatomical Science at USC, still heard nothing...This is my second round and I am really anxious tbh... By the way, I also applied to TAMU, WUSTL, and CUNY🤕 GradR2D2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
youknowwho Posted January 26 Share Posted January 26 Hey! I've just posted two updates about the interviews at CUNY and Pitt (sociocultural) I had a 15-minute official interview with 3 faculty members at the University of Pittsburgh. And it was fine, just classical questions about the project, why PhD, why this program. that's all. At CUNY there were 2 conversations. an informal one with a graduate student: for me to ask questions about the program. And an official interview with a faculty member from the committee (the one I didn't mention in SOP). I was horrible..so nervous, that I almost couldn't breathe (( the questions were again about the theoretical framework of the project, why CUNY, about the faculty members I would like to work with, and how I came up with the idea of the project. ajxcity 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would it be safe to say I would have heard from Yale by now? Hi! I think it could depend on the subfield you applied with. I'm unfamiliar with Yale and their application process, but based on the last several years, it seems like interviews/acceptances aren't on a very consistent schedule (which is unfortunate for your sanity I'm sure). Rejections are consistent tho, so you'll probably know by the 3rd week of February ish. Starlt94 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anth1234 Posted February 5 Share Posted February 5 I saw on the results that a few people heard back rejections from Cornell today. I have heard nothing (no interview request, no acceptance, no waitlist, no rejection) from them. Does anyone know if this is a good thing? Also got rejected from UC Berkeley yesterday, which wasn't too surprising but still disappointing. POI emailed me and was super nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anthrodolly Posted February 8 Share Posted February 8 Does anyone know typically how many people are interviewed at Stanford (sociocultural track)? And roughly an idea of the acceptance rate after interviews? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jocebell Posted February 10 Share Posted February 10 For anyone interviewing at Rutgers, here's some additional information: "I believe I mentioned that we were interviewing everyone on our “medium list,” including you. That group compromises about the top 25% of applicants (or 20 people). From among them, we will have to select a “short list” of three to admit and then an alternates list if and when some of those people decline."

I got a weird email about setting up my MyUGA account that I will use for the duration of my email. Logged into the portal to see if there was any new info, and found the official acceptance letter from the university. Haven't heard any specific funding info yet (other than fully funded from the POI/interview). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I emailed the department and official letters will be out later this week with funding info and everything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
