Drmon Posted February 28, 2011 Share Posted February 28, 2011 (edited) Has anybody received the official email notification from Stanford, Department of Anthropology? Previously, did many applicants get the chance of interview? The official website mentioned that the decision status will be sent via Email before 28 Feb However I still have not got any information from email and forums. thanks for reply.

anonthropology Posted February 28, 2011 Share Posted February 28, 2011 I haven't gotten any word back yet either. I've been checking my inbox and grad cafe like mad this week since I've been expecting to hear from them any day now. Hopefully we'll hear from them tomorrow!

I've been checking my inbox and grad cafe like mad this week since I've been expecting to hear from them any day now. Hopefully we'll hear from them tomorrow! I have been too. I'm working in the field right now, so every day I get back from site I check all of those things hoping to hear something. I think maybe today is the day? But I wouldn't be surprised if we didn't hear until later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anthroapp11 Posted February 28, 2011 Share Posted February 28, 2011 Hi everyone, We've had a few discussions about Stanford in the "Anthropology 2011" thread. One poster knows someone who has already gotten an interview/offer, so I'm under the assumption that no news is bad news: Best wishes, anthroapp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

anthro.fish Posted February 28, 2011 Share Posted February 28, 2011 Yeah . . . wow, Stanford anthropology has strange policies. I could hardly get anyone to talk to me. I sent out five emails to professors in the department (before I applied) and only received one, curt reply saying that I should apply. Funny how different schools seem to have their own, coordinated response strategies. I'm sure they'll send out a storm of rejection letters soon though.

anonthropology Posted February 28, 2011 Share Posted February 28, 2011 Aww, man. Well ESPECIALLY if they've already notified their admitted students, I hope they stick to their 2/28 deadline for the rest of us. I still have a little glimmer of hope that the admitted person in question just got an informal email from their POI ahead of the official notification, and it doesn't necessarily mean I'm doomed. At this point I just want to know where I stand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anthroapp11 Posted March 1, 2011 Share Posted March 1, 2011 Has anyone tried calling or e-mailing yet? I feel it's in order since they missed their own deadline. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anonthropology Posted March 1, 2011 Share Posted March 1, 2011 I called this morning, but didn't reach anyone. I'm tempted to try emailing, but I think that would be overkill since I already left a message. Applying to PhD programs has taught me a lot about myself, mainly that I am incredibly bad at sitting back and waiting. Has anyone tried calling or e-mailing yet? I feel it's in order since they missed their own deadline. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ivanov Posted March 2, 2011 Share Posted March 2, 2011 I got a reply from an email I sent to my POI a few days ago: "To my knowledge the final outcome of the application process has not been released by the committee, but I assume they will be notifying fairly soon. The whole thing devolves to the admission committee, so there's not much I can do or say at this moment, but I'll let you know as soon I hear anything definitive. I suspect you'll know before me..."

anonthropology Posted March 2, 2011 Share Posted March 2, 2011 Thank you SO much for sharing this news. It makes the waiting much easier to know that no one knows, somehow!

newleaf Posted March 3, 2011 Share Posted March 3, 2011 Quick Q for everyone applying and the friend of a friend who got in/interviewed: Who has an M.A.? I am under the impression that there is a de facto MA requirement, although the last years cohort was slightly different. thoughts? Thanks for your sharing!!!

anthroapp11 Posted March 3, 2011 Share Posted March 3, 2011 I do not have an M.A., which is why I'm not too hopeful about my chances. Looking at past application seasons, it does seems as though this is an unspoken requirement. Thanks for passing along the info from your POI! Really helpful. Keep us updated if you hear anything else. Quick Q for everyone applying and the friend of a friend who got in/interviewed: Who has an M.A.?

space-cat Posted March 3, 2011 Share Posted March 3, 2011 (edited) Looking at past application seasons, it does seems as though this is an unspoken requirement. Secret MA requirements and a higher than average application fee? Gee, thanks, Stanford. I'm waiting to hear as well. I don't have an MA and don't have the strongest fit with their faculty, so I'm fully expecting a rejection. From old threads here, it does look like they have a bad habit of missing their own response deadline by about a week, so let's not get worried just yet! Thanks for sharing your information, everyone! Edited March 3, 2011 by space-cat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j bre Posted March 3, 2011 Share Posted March 3, 2011 Graduate Admissions season for applications received in 2010 - 2011 academic year is now closed. Decision status will be announced via email to each applicant before 4 March 2011. Applicants offered admission must accept the offer by 15 April 2011. Offers not accepted by 15 April 2011 are voided. looks like we'll all know soon enough... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anthro.fish Posted March 3, 2011 Share Posted March 3, 2011 If Stanford anthropology generally requires a Master's degree . . . why in the world wouldn't they mention that?! Jeez. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anthroapp11 Posted March 4, 2011 Share Posted March 4, 2011 At least they were nice enough to change it on the website.

Orzai Posted March 4, 2011 Share Posted March 4, 2011 At least they were nice enough to change it on the website. Aye, more than a few other schools are still keeping people in the dark. A date, even if tentative, is a comfort. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
papertigerwords Posted March 4, 2011 Share Posted March 4, 2011 TODAY! Actually, it says "before 4 March," but since it's March 4, TODAY! Good luck, everyone! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anthro.fish Posted March 4, 2011 Share Posted March 4, 2011 I just hope that one of us (on this forum, or that entitled Anthropology 2011) gets in. The odds are extremely tough, the stakes extremely high. Good luck to all. papertigerwords 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
space-cat Posted March 4, 2011 Share Posted March 4, 2011 Just rejected. Finally! As I said on the other thread, I don't think Stanford is the right place for me anyway Good luck, folks!! I have my fingers crossed for you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
