Polanthro Posted February 23, 2012 Posted February 23, 2012 Khacker, I emailed the department yesterday and got an answer back from an administrator who said she wasn't involved in the process too closely, but she mentioned that some letters had been sent out on Monday and the remaining ones would go out tomorrow. She said if we don't know by next week, we should get in touch with folks there again. Only thing is, I am not sure if the "letters" she means will come via email or as actual physical letters...we'll see...hang in there!
pixiestick Posted February 23, 2012 Posted February 23, 2012 Thanks Polanthro! Good luck to you. Are you a PhD or Master's applicant?
lumbarmoose Posted February 23, 2012 Posted February 23, 2012 I'm kinda/sorta a student at UC-Boulder, and the only information that I've heard so far is that there were 104 applicants this year between the three subdisciplines. I think this is a little less than the past couple of years, so they should be mailing out decisions soon. Also, probably a large percentage of those students are applying for the MA programs rather than a PhD, so that may make some difference. They like to have their decsisions mailed before spring break; I believe it was the first week of March in 2009 when I got in. Hope this helps! Out of curiousity, who did you interview with? Great, thanks for the info! That's interesting that there were fewer applications this year. I applied to the MA program and I had a brief Skype chat with Gerardo Gutierrez. I liked him a lot and definitely came away feeling enthused about the program, so I'm hoping I get in. I also did my undergrad in Colorado and have since moved away, but I would love to go back!
Polanthro Posted February 23, 2012 Posted February 23, 2012 Thanks Polanthro! Good luck to you. Are you a PhD or Master's applicant? I applied for the PhD, thought it was the perfect fit for me since Syracuse is so strong in South Asia studies. Not feeling too hopeful now, though, to be honest (though I may get a pleasant surprise). What about you?
pixiestick Posted February 23, 2012 Posted February 23, 2012 I applied for the PhD, thought it was the perfect fit for me since Syracuse is so strong in South Asia studies. Not feeling too hopeful now, though, to be honest (though I may get a pleasant surprise). What about you? I applied Master's, also because of the South Asia connection. I did some fieldwork in India a year ago for my B.A. thesis. They have some great sounding faculty members at Syracuse with interests right up my alley.
pixiestick Posted February 23, 2012 Posted February 23, 2012 And I just heard that I got rejected. Good luck to you, though.
Polanthro Posted February 24, 2012 Posted February 24, 2012 Oh no, I'm so sorry to hear that! How did you find out?
TooMuchCaffeine Posted February 24, 2012 Posted February 24, 2012 Is the person who posted the UNLV rejection on here? If so, could you tell me how you received notification? My online application still says "Forwarded to Department for Review." Thanks (and best of luck with your other apps) I received an e-mail yesterday with a generic letter attached. Fifty applicants for 15 spots... I think that is what made the rejection even worse! Best of luck to you!
pixiestick Posted February 24, 2012 Posted February 24, 2012 Oh no, I'm so sorry to hear that! How did you find out? They mailed the rejection letter to my permanent address. Which means I didn't even see it, my parents got to read it over the phone to me, hah. It's ok though, I've got offers from two other schools.
anxiousanthro Posted February 24, 2012 Posted February 24, 2012 to the results page UPenn poster- How did you find out this info? I'm not sure if I've been rejected or waitlisted... Do I need to contact the department or is an email on its way? Thanks!
newleaf Posted February 24, 2012 Posted February 24, 2012 Tick freaking tock. newleaf, jerzygrl, charier and 2 others 4 1
anthroapplicant Posted February 24, 2012 Posted February 24, 2012 FYI, Columbia's anthro admissions emails were sent out today. Unofficial phone confirmations happened last week.
TJ89 Posted February 24, 2012 Posted February 24, 2012 Anybody hear from Stanford Anthro/Archaeology/know when notifications will be sent out?
Kamper1 Posted February 25, 2012 Posted February 25, 2012 Anyone heard from UT Austin? Radio silence on the "Results Survey"....I have been in touch with UCSD-will be sending out official acceptances probably next week, in case you're interested.... jfromnillicus and anxiousanthro 2
lumbarmoose Posted February 25, 2012 Posted February 25, 2012 Quiet today. I'm really curious about the UC Boulder admit- if whoever posted that reads this, it'd be great if you could let me know what subfield you are, etc.
lumbarmoose Posted February 25, 2012 Posted February 25, 2012 Quiet today. I'm really curious about the UC Boulder admit- if whoever posted that reads this, it'd be great if you could let me know what subfield you are, etc. Well, I went ahead and answered my own question by emailing them. Just in case anyone else is interested, I was told that they are in the final stages of reviewing applications and I'll probably hear early next week. That doesn't really clarify why there was an admit posted yesterday, but oh well!
Polanthro Posted February 25, 2012 Posted February 25, 2012 Hi all, I got an offer from Syracuse yesterday morning. Incredibly nice email, saying that they nominated me for the FLAS and were even willing to pay for me to attend a language institute this summer to learn the language I need for my fieldwork. No word on funding for the school year though, which will be a deal breaker for me. Could anybody give me a sense of how this program is regarded, what students go on to do typically, if they know anything about Syracuse as a city at all...? Any information or input is welcome!
anxiousanthro Posted February 25, 2012 Posted February 25, 2012 congrats to the UCSD admits! would any one of you be willing to post or PM me saying whether the emails were individualized or all sent out simultaneously? Thx!
BlackHatGuy Posted February 25, 2012 Posted February 25, 2012 congrats to the UCSD admits! would any one of you be willing to post or PM me saying whether the emails were individualized or all sent out simultaneously? Thx! Mine, at least, seemed like part of a mass mailing. It was not sent from anyone in the department but from the Dean of Graduate Studies.
jfromnillicus Posted February 25, 2012 Posted February 25, 2012 Anyone heard from UT Austin? Radio silence on the "Results Survey"....I have been in touch with UCSD-will be sending out official acceptances probably next week, in case you're interested.... I am beginning to think this year is a total re-do for me (I have not been called for any interviews, and have one rejection under my belt), but I am still holding out a little more hope for UT Austin. If anyone has any info on this school's timeline, that would be great. Do they conduct interviews, contact prospectives, etc? Has anyone "here" been in touch with anyone "there"? Thanks!
306 & 100 Posted February 25, 2012 Posted February 25, 2012 Yale mailed out their decisions. Are they sending out e-mails to the accepted candidates? Or are rejections also sent out? Thanks!
anxiousanthro Posted February 26, 2012 Posted February 26, 2012 *sorry, "mail" or "email"? haha key distinction
nubiadoc Posted February 26, 2012 Posted February 26, 2012 Anybody hear from Stanford Anthro/Archaeology/know when notifications will be sent out? Hi TJ89 I think Stanford notifications go out very soon. I thought they were supposed to at the end of this week but it looks like it might be this coming week.
FoxtrotNY Posted February 26, 2012 Posted February 26, 2012 *sorry, "mail" or "email"? haha key distinction Postal Mail.
