jerzygrl Posted February 21, 2012 Posted February 21, 2012 Does anyone know if Rutgers has already made their offers? Do they usually do interviews? I see Rutgers made some offers... but in the past they have trickled out sloooowly. And as far as I know they do some interviews. Good luck!
Aydın Özipek Posted February 21, 2012 Posted February 21, 2012 Does anyone know if Rutgers has already made their offers? Do they usually do interviews? I have sent an email to a professor inquiring about the status of my application, he stated that I am among the rejected. So, I think, they have already made their offers.
CallieTrichid Posted February 22, 2012 Posted February 22, 2012 I got accepted to NIU! I noticed one other person did too--if the other person is considering going and reading this, we should talk. It's my second choice out of the two right now, but still!
aforman1 Posted February 22, 2012 Posted February 22, 2012 Is it really slow today? I completely believed that today would be the day that I would get actual, concrete, solid, for real information ... and then, gutter ball. How much longer can this possibly go on? (Although, it looks like Northwestern's admits/wait lists went out today, so I'll probably get linked to a denial form from them in the next day or so.) How is everyone who has yet to hear anything--positive or negative--managing in the meantime? New hobbies? Wearing out your mobile devices checking your email? Rewatching all of your favorite/most comforting movies?

No new hobbies, but I am working on numerous plan b's that somehow seem even more unrealistic than my plan a of going to grad school, haha. Get rejected from my top choice? Nevermind, I'll just go be a rock star instead. jerzygrl 1

Rewatching all of your favorite/most comforting movies? Also going crazy in this waiting game. 3 rejects, 3 to go. Just enough to knock the wind out of my sails, not enough to let me give up hope and come up with a realistic plan for next year. I've started guitar lessons, joined a spin class and a pilates class, and started doing the Insanity workout program. And somehow I still spend 75% of each day refreshing my email. puh.

AlternateAllele Posted February 22, 2012 Posted February 22, 2012 Only applied to two schools, haven't heard from either one. Every time I see an e-mail on my phone I freak the hell out. Gradcafe admission results webpage is refreshed every two seconds in fact, my boyfriend just laughed at me "Are you on gradcafe again!???." I've also started to psychologically counsel myself, "It's okay if you don't get accepted, another year of trying isn't so bad." But the thought of having to get a real job in the real world terrifies me. I don't have any new hobbies, trying to keep productive with my master's thesis. But I feel as though I'm less productive waiting to hear back...

But I feel as though I'm less productive waiting to hear back... Your situation sounds similar to mine! My boyfriend has threatened to block the internet from my computer so that I have to work on my thesis! I have to remind him that it won't work because I have so many other ways to access the internet without the computer. Hah! I feel like every week I don't hear anything, the less productive I am for my thesis... It's horrible. And now it's at the point where I don't even want to look at it anymore! My "new" hobby I guess is just looking for jobs in case I don't get accepted this year. More applications. Yay. Anyway, good luck on your thesis and I hope we all hear back soon!
CarlieE Posted February 22, 2012 Posted February 22, 2012 I got accepted to NIU! I noticed one other person did too--if the other person is considering going and reading this, we should talk. It's my second choice out of the two right now, but still! Congrats! I'm there now as an UG
jake777 Posted February 22, 2012 Posted February 22, 2012 Anyone hear from Harvard anthro/archaeology? I think a few mentioned that 5 got in this year. And on the results page you could see a few (2) rejections. Not clear yet... Jake.
laurissimo Posted February 22, 2012 Posted February 22, 2012 GWU Anthro PhD people with an interview? Anyone got any information on those?
baybiobabe Posted February 22, 2012 Posted February 22, 2012 CUNY, NYU admits = any news for the rest of us? Especially NYCEP folks? Thanks!!!!
Lexicon Posted February 22, 2012 Posted February 22, 2012 I called UCSD yesterday and the grad program coordinator said they hadn't finalized their decisions yet but that I should expect to hear back some time in the next two weeks. >_<
saveagemind Posted February 22, 2012 Posted February 22, 2012 CUNY, NYU admits = any news for the rest of us? Especially NYCEP folks? Thanks!!!! I assume I got rejected from NYU since I've had no news either way. As far as CUNY, I was accepted for cultural so not sure about other fields, but I believe final decisions are now scheduled for March 2nd.
nyc2482 Posted February 22, 2012 Posted February 22, 2012 Anyone have word from Johns Hopkins? The suspense is killing me!
Apegirl Posted February 22, 2012 Posted February 22, 2012 Has anyone heard from Rutgers bio anthropology?? I saw a couple posts from cultural but nothing from bio yet.
nyc2482 Posted February 22, 2012 Posted February 22, 2012 Has anyone heard from Rutgers bio anthropology?? I saw a couple posts from cultural but nothing from bio yet. It looks like some acceptances were sent on February 8 to both bio and cultural applicants, according to search. I was waitlisted for cultural yesterday. Best of luck!

I was waitlisted for cultural yesterday. Best of luck! Congratulations!! I know being waitlisted isn't ideal, but you're still in the game. Not sure how, but I must have missed the bio acceptance. Oh well, it was a long shot anyway. Thanks and good luck!
pixiestick Posted February 22, 2012 Posted February 22, 2012 GWU Masters people - has anyone gotten any funding?
zougal Posted February 22, 2012 Posted February 22, 2012 Has anyone gotten declines from Missouri or Minnesota? I saw some acceptances from phone calls but haven't seen much activity since. I'm wondering where they are in their decisions. These are the primary schools I'm interested in. Any insight would be most appreciated!!!! Oh, I'm archaeology if that helps!
AlternateAllele Posted February 22, 2012 Posted February 22, 2012 (edited) another bio kid. which schools are you applying to? I am a bio kid, but I'd actually consider myself to be a molecular anthropologist. I only applied to two schools: Penn State and SUNY Binghamton. Those were honestly the only two programs I felt were compatible with my interests: genomics, populations genetics... I personally think they'd be insane not to take me... I have so much lab research experience and great references. But of course, my GRE scores and undergraduate GPA sucks (Master's GPA is acceptable though). I've been very very lucky with getting jobs and getting into schools... It might take me longer than academically gifted GPA/GRE scholars, but I still end up in the same places they do. I'll get my way sooner or later :-) Your situation sounds similar to mine! My boyfriend has threatened to block the internet from my computer so that I have to work on my thesis! I have to remind him that it won't work because I have so many other ways to access the internet without the computer. Hah! I feel like every week I don't hear anything, the less productive I am for my thesis... It's horrible. And now it's at the point where I don't even want to look at it anymore! My "new" hobby I guess is just looking for jobs in case I don't get accepted this year. More applications. Yay. Anyway, good luck on your thesis and I hope we all hear back soon! I noticed that you're still waiting on 7 more places???? Awful. I'm resentful over the fact that Harvard has already responded to applicants, but not state schools, lol. I'm slightly put off by my thesis project right now... I have three different advisers on three different campuses. One of them in a different state is supposed to correlate my data with his, and he keeps saying my project is next... I can start on some things, but it's weird for me to start my thesis not quite knowing what my results are. What's more important to me is that I've been promised a first author publication but I need his data! (I've never been a team player for a reason...) And finally, my main adviser is impossible to get a meeting with right now. If a thesis is supposed like a 100 pages, I don't have a clue what to fill it with at the moment. Best of luck with the thesis... Set yourself up a time table of thesis-writing goals. I plan on doing that as soon as I figure out what's supposed to go into thesis :-) Edited February 22, 2012 by AlternateAllele
