Anthronerd Posted February 16, 2012 Posted February 16, 2012 I finally heard from UCLA! Got a call last night, sending out packets next week. Full finding and all that stuff. POI said it was a small pool from almost 200 students. When I did the math it was about 5%. Scary!! Still think I'm dreaming hahha Good luck everyone! Congrats timetogobacktoschool! Do you have anymore info? Do you know if all the acceptances have been contacted?
rkg2012 Posted February 16, 2012 Posted February 16, 2012 Nope and it's driving me crazy! Have you checked your online application status? Mine still reads "in review" =\ I never really had my hopes up in terms of getting into ASU, but it'd be nice to know for sure so I can cross it off my list. Did you apply to U of A as well? That's the other mysterious one.... A single rejection has been posted, but it's from an international student so who knows what that means for the rest of us. Hey, I'm international too, and haven't heard. They probably didn't make the distinction between Americans and internationals. My guess is that this person asked their POI, or someone in the department, who disclosed the information to them. We probably would have more results if more people had been notified. Edit: I'm talking about U of A... sorry I didn't make this clear! I'm fairly certain that U of A has not sent out any official notices yet. I would guess that the person mixed up the two AZ schools. On the subject of U of A, what is its reputation in the anthropology world for its archaeology program?

On the subject of U of A, what is its reputation in the anthropology world for its archaeology program? Hm, thats a possibility, I hadn't thought about that. The impression I have gotten is that it's very highly regarded for archaeology. However, I live in Arizona, so I might be a bit biased in terms of simply hearing more about schools that are in state!
Boaty McBoatface Posted February 16, 2012 Posted February 16, 2012 I'm doing Archaeology and they regard it highly in my department even if it's halfway across the globe... so I would assume it's really good!

I'm [hoping to be] a classical archaeologist, so it's really weird to apply to an anthropology department. I had one professor who gushed over the program and several who discounted it as 'not having a PhD program,' because it's not in the Classics department.
anotherapplicant Posted February 16, 2012 Posted February 16, 2012 Would the other person who got into Princeton please message me, preferably by email?

Hey, it looks as if someone just posted an admittance from U of Arizona, from yesterday. Was it you, rkg2012? I mean, you said something about the official results not being available... Did you get an unofficial result? I know, it's weird for me too, to apply to an Anthropology programme, coming from Archaeology. And so far it hasn't been successful!

Freaking out a bit, so I'd love more details if anyone has them!
baybiobabe Posted February 16, 2012 Posted February 16, 2012 Would the other person who got into Princeton please message me, preferably by email? oh princeton kids...welcome to the family! i did my undergrad there, and there's no way out of the orange bubble.....enjoy!!!!

I know, it's weird for me too, to apply to an Anthropology programme, coming from Archaeology. And so far it hasn't been successful! That wasn't me. I do have an unofficial admit from a POI, but I haven't posted it, since I didn't want to scare anyone (or jinx myself). The results seem to have come pretty late in past years, so now I'm confused too. Maybe it was unofficial? Anyone want to claim it?

I think I'm going to start preparing myself for disappointment, haha. But major congrats to you!
timetogobacktoschool Posted February 17, 2012 Posted February 17, 2012 Congrats timetogobacktoschool! Do you have anymore info? Do you know if all the acceptances have been contacted? from what i heard, everything is being sent out next week/next couple of days (including snail mail stuff) so i think patience is key.

duckiesandbees Posted February 17, 2012 Posted February 17, 2012 Regarding ASU, I e-mailed the grad coordinator and she said that notices are going out this week and next. However, in the past it seems like acceptances go out one week and rejections the next, so I'm counting this as a probable rejection.
anthropologygeek Posted February 17, 2012 Posted February 17, 2012 Duckie- the year I was applying, masters and phd, they both came out the same time.
duckiesandbees Posted February 17, 2012 Posted February 17, 2012 Duckie- the year I was applying, masters and phd, they both came out the same time. Thanks! That gives me some hope, but as you saw, I'm also making a plan B.
laurissimo Posted February 17, 2012 Posted February 17, 2012 i think we should call each other's programs and get the low-down. haha Anthronerd 1
Lexicon Posted February 17, 2012 Posted February 17, 2012 I am dying to hear from UCSD I keep having stress dreams about getting rejected.
306 & 100 Posted February 17, 2012 Posted February 17, 2012 I see from the results page that several applicants were already admitted by Princeton. If I have not been contacted by Princeton by now, should I assume that a rejection is on the way?
anotherapplicant Posted February 17, 2012 Posted February 17, 2012 Re princeton - maybe so. The visit weekend is to be the 9th of March. So you should hear of an acceptance well before.
zillie Posted February 17, 2012 Posted February 17, 2012 For anyone who is interested, from what I have heard from POIs and friends, many schools are announcing next week. So maybe most of us only have to wait a few more days! zillie 1

zillie Posted February 17, 2012 Posted February 17, 2012 Any idea which schools this might apply to? Some of these schools are not ones I personally spoke to, but friends of mine have, so I can't say with 100% certainty. The list of schools are: UPenn, TAMU, Harvard, U. Washington (to send out official acceptances), Washington University, and Washington State. I hope everything stays on schedule and we hear soon!
charier Posted February 17, 2012 Posted February 17, 2012 More info on Harvard admits, please. Two percent, wow. Any word on the proportion of medical, cultural, or archaeology students this year? How many do you expect make it to the waiting list? Any rumors on which supervisors are taking on new students? Maybe I am getting too detailed here, but I sure am interested! I would also like to see more details about UChicago & UMichigan. Any word from Chicago? Thanks in advance for any sharing.
