laurissimo Posted February 9, 2012 Posted February 9, 2012 Someone just posted an inteview with GWU for Bio Anth... I wonder if that was the new Anthro PhD or the hominid paleo? If you're on here, let me know!! (And congrats on the interview)
timetogobacktoschool Posted February 9, 2012 Posted February 9, 2012 Is there anyone else on this lurking who hasn't heard from a single school yet? I'm started to panic haha. I haven't heard anyone mention final decisions from ucla, ucsd, Austin, uconn and Harvard so if you have any news I'd love a heads up! Thanks guys!!
baybiobabe Posted February 9, 2012 Posted February 9, 2012 Just to give people a heads up... a friend of mine in Physical Anthro has interviews next week at CUNY, Stony Brook, and NYU. Things are starting to get busy! oh no! now i'm worried! i haven't heard anything from nyu or cuny. but i get the sense that as a west coaster i'm not as competitive...any truth to that you think?
newleaf Posted February 9, 2012 Posted February 9, 2012 Northwestern told me that the preliminary cut has been made and candidates on the long list have been invited for interviews. That happened a couple of weeks ago I believe, at least for social-cultural.
aforman1 Posted February 9, 2012 Posted February 9, 2012 Northwestern told me that the preliminary cut has been made and candidates on the long list have been invited for interviews. Someone has posted on the results page that they received a rejection email from Northwestern on the 3rd. Since I never received an invitation to interview, I assume that I have not made the cut -- yet no rejection email has yet appeared (although they may have been informally contacted by their POI). I wish they would just put my suffering to an end!!! Is there anyone else on this lurking who hasn't heard from a single school yet? I'm started to panic haha. I haven't heard anyone mention final decisions from ucla, ucsd, Austin, uconn and Harvard so if you have any news I'd love a heads up! Thanks guys!! Haven't heard back from anyone yet, but I am starting to lose hope. As I just said, Northwestern has sent out all of their invitations, and it's looking like Temple has started making decisions as well. No word from AU yet, but apparently they only had 2 cultural admits last year, so I'm starting to worry (a lot) about that school. On the one hand, I do have a fall-back school, but I really didn't want to move back to Colorado.
Nic42 Posted February 9, 2012 Posted February 9, 2012 Not surprised, but still pretty bummed about Northwestern. I contacted POIs ahead of time, and they all said it sounded like I'd be a good fit. Even though I'm excited about my other acceptances, getting shut down by Berkeley AND Northwestern is pretty disheartening. Guess I'll be holding out hope for that sweet, sweet NSF money--maybe external funding will turn the tides...
twoforonespecial Posted February 10, 2012 Posted February 10, 2012 Hi All, I'm just joining the thread today. I haven't heard from any schools yet, and I'm getting worried. I figure that Chicago was a no since previous posts say they already sent out interview invites. In addition I applied to Michigan, Penn, UCLA, and Toronto. Anyone heard back from any of these schools? Good luck to everyone!!!
jerzygrl Posted February 10, 2012 Posted February 10, 2012 oh no! now i'm worried! i haven't heard anything from nyu or cuny. but i get the sense that as a west coaster i'm not as competitive...any truth to that you think? I don't think west coast makes you less competitive. It all depends on your background and your presentation to the adcom. Don't stress too much yet!
jerzygrl Posted February 10, 2012 Posted February 10, 2012 To the UCSC admit.... did you do an interview? I had some really strong contacts with that department and I haven't heard anything.
newleaf Posted February 10, 2012 Posted February 10, 2012 I don't think west coast makes you less competitive. It all depends on your background and your presentation to the adcom. Don't stress too much yet! TRUF!
Anthronerd Posted February 10, 2012 Posted February 10, 2012 To the UCSC admit.... did you do an interview? I had some really strong contacts with that department and I haven't heard anything. I thought the department wasn't going to start notifying people until march! I haven't heard anything either... jerzygrl 1
peachblossom Posted February 10, 2012 Posted February 10, 2012 Has anyone heard anything from Stanford or UChicago?
jerzygrl Posted February 10, 2012 Posted February 10, 2012 Anyone else find themselves thinking "at this point I don't care if I get a reject, I just want to know!" I feel stagnated by this process. I want to move foward, but I keep waiting to know which direction to move in. k-tray 1
MakeSetBsy Posted February 10, 2012 Posted February 10, 2012 @peachblossom - nothing from Stanford, but I had understood from a professor that Chicago was aiming to make decisions by today...
barnabas Posted February 10, 2012 Posted February 10, 2012 Someone posted a rejection from Princeton on the results page, are you here? Has anyone else heard something from them?
Nic42 Posted February 10, 2012 Posted February 10, 2012 Anyone else find themselves thinking "at this point I don't care if I get a reject, I just want to know!" I feel stagnated by this process. I want to move foward, but I keep waiting to know which direction to move in. I know exactly how you feel. I'm waiting on Harvard and Columbia, of all places, and I just wish they'd get it over with so I can start planning the move to somewhere I've actually been accepted. jerzygrl 1
newleaf Posted February 10, 2012 Posted February 10, 2012 Friend in the program says Stanford will be announcing next week. Very sad, was hoping for some news today. I'm waiting on Harvard, Columbia, NYU, Irvine...I think.
felicidad Posted February 10, 2012 Posted February 10, 2012 I know exactly how you feel. I'm waiting on Harvard and Columbia, of all places, and I just wish they'd get it over with so I can start planning the move to somewhere I've actually been accepted. Wow...you're like the sociology version of me! That's exactly my issue, and exactly those schools.
Boaty McBoatface Posted February 10, 2012 Posted February 10, 2012 (edited) @Nic 42 if you look at the results page from previous years, it's unlikely that Harvard will let you know before end of Feb/beginning of March. And your letter will come in the snail mail. And Columbia, probably the end of March. Edited February 10, 2012 by Anzaria
pinkie Posted February 10, 2012 Posted February 10, 2012 Someone posted a rejection from Princeton on the results page, are you here? Has anyone else heard something from them? I was wondering the same thing! I haven't heard a word, I'm hoping we hear something today. Best of luck! jerzygrl 1
AlternateAllele Posted February 10, 2012 Posted February 10, 2012 I am waiting to hear back from Penn State and Binghamton University. No word yet, I'm guessing I'll know by late Feb and early March. I'm also guessing that I didn't get accepted to Penn State considering they posted that they give interviews in mid-January.
Nic42 Posted February 10, 2012 Posted February 10, 2012 Wow...you're like the sociology version of me! That's exactly my issue, and exactly those schools. I guess I'm a little unusual--my undergraduate major was sociology, but I've applied to both sociology and sociocultural anthro graduate programs. Waiting to hear back from Columbia sociology and Harvard anthro, as well as the anthro program at NYU. Solidarity, man! Hang in there--best of luck!
AlternateAllele Posted February 10, 2012 Posted February 10, 2012 Has anyone heard from Penn State? Their website says that they interview mid-January but no one has posted anything on the results page. Just curious! I applied to the BioAnth PhD program at Penn State. I have no idea when or if they were interveiwing, but according to their website I probably missed the boat. Have you heard anything? Probably won't hear anything back till mid-Feb to Early march.
