laurissimo Posted February 20, 2012 Posted February 20, 2012 One person has been accepted by UPenn, and one person has been rejected. I haven't received any email. Is that one more example of the trickling down of results as described by Laurissimo, or is it just that these people contacted their POIs? Not that I'm hopeful (I'm really not) but it would be nice to know, and I'd be very happy if anyone could give me some information I wish I could speak to specific schools
latamedant Posted February 20, 2012 Posted February 20, 2012 Hi Anzaria, I posted the Penn acceptance. The email was sent out by the graduate admissions coordinator to all accepted students in the PhD and MA programs. POIs have followed suit. Hope this helps...
Boaty McBoatface Posted February 20, 2012 Posted February 20, 2012 Thanks for the info, and congratulations!

Not that I'm hopeful (I'm really not) but it would be nice to know, and I'd be very happy if anyone could give me some information i am the person who posted the UPenn rejection. I wrote to my POI and was told that all acceptances had gone out. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news
Boaty McBoatface Posted February 20, 2012 Posted February 20, 2012 Hey it's alright I'd rather know now than find out later. Best of luck and I hope you're getting in somewhere else!
AlternateAllele Posted February 20, 2012 Posted February 20, 2012 Penn State... Anyone heard or know anything??? BioAnthropology... I'm going CRAZY here. I'm also too scared to call the damn office and ask them any information, lol.

I'm also too scared to call the damn office and ask them any information, lol. I'm waiting on the same! Haven't heard anything... did talk to POI a while back and he basically said it's going to be a small class. I would literally do anything to get in there!!!
jake777 Posted February 21, 2012 Posted February 21, 2012 5 in at Harvard this year. Over 250 applications. Are these the results for the Anthropology program at Harvard? or the join program with Middle East studies? Thanks! Jake.
jake777 Posted February 21, 2012 Posted February 21, 2012 I got an unofficial announcement from the chair of the committee at Harvard. He called (Skype) and told me that I was admitted by them, and as m41 said, with 4 other students. I think they already notified the students who are admitted, even though it was not an official letter. I wonder if there are any news from Chicago. It has passed 2 weeks since the interview and still no update from the university. First of all congrats! Second, may I ask if this is for the anthropology department? or is it the joint program (Anthropology and Middle East Studies)? Thanks again! Good luck. Jake.

Polanthro Posted February 21, 2012 Posted February 21, 2012 Can anyone shed some light on the Syracuse acceptance?
TooMuchCaffeine Posted February 21, 2012 Posted February 21, 2012 Is it really slow today? I was thinking the same thing!
lumbarmoose Posted February 21, 2012 Posted February 21, 2012 Is it really slow today? I KNOW! After the holiday yesterday I was thinking that a fair number of people would be getting news today, but there have hardly been any new results posted today. Ugh.
thes1 Posted February 21, 2012 Posted February 21, 2012 Can anyone shed some light on the Syracuse acceptance? I'm the Syracuse acceptance. I received an email from the department's Director of Graduate Studies with notification and an invitation to a Maxwell recruitment weekend in March. Best of luck.
newleaf Posted February 21, 2012 Posted February 21, 2012 I KNOW! After the holiday yesterday I was thinking that a fair number of people would be getting news today, but there have hardly been any new results posted today. Ugh. That was my thought exactly! I didn't expect NYU Harvard and Columbia to post last week (thought it was happening this week) and the rest of the schools are just killing me not-so-softly.
raccoonface Posted February 21, 2012 Posted February 21, 2012 Where you PhD or MA? Who's supervising you? Was it an official or unofficial acceptance? Which branch of anthro (I'm going for socio-cultural) I was in email contact last week letting them know that my SSHRC app had been forwarded to Ottawa for final verification. Thanks for your response! (Now I'm antsy!) Hi, I applied for the PhD. It was an unofficial from a professor, for socio-cultural. I don't know about SSHRC, I applied as an outsider so I don't expect to hear from them for a while. Good luck. I know someone who heard in March the year before, so like others have said, it's in waves. I think the unofficial email is also to get a sense of who will likely accept, that way they know who to email in March. That's just my guess though.

Thanks for your response! (Now I'm antsy!) Hi, also I meant to say, if you get SSHRC you're golden! I had a friend who was outright rejected from U of T anthro, until he got SSHRC, and they let him in.

I spoke to people in the department. Not all decisions have been made yet; they're to be finalized at the end of this week.
newleaf Posted February 21, 2012 Posted February 21, 2012 Re: Columbia - false. I spoke to people in the department. Not all decisions have been made yet; they're to be finalized at the end of this week. Oh whaaaaat!! Thanks for the info! I was under the impression that all decisions were made. Crossing my fingers to stay close to home and take advantage of the great departments we have in the area.
chibuku Posted February 21, 2012 Posted February 21, 2012 Re: Columbia - false. I spoke to people in the department. Not all decisions have been made yet; they're to be finalized at the end of this week. Didn't realize any decisions had been made, on account of the lack of any postings on the results page
newleaf Posted February 21, 2012 Posted February 21, 2012 Didn't realize any decisions had been made, on account of the lack of any postings on the results page I have 2 friends in social cultural who got offers on Thursday of last week.
laurissimo Posted February 21, 2012 Posted February 21, 2012 Has anyone ever emailed a department and gotten good news from them?
anthroapp17 Posted February 21, 2012 Posted February 21, 2012 Does anyone know if Rutgers has already made their offers? Do they usually do interviews?
