Anthropology Waiting/Results 2012

[wheninhell]

Does anyone know if Berkeley has sent out all acceptances?

They've sent out at least some. I was directed via e-mail to download what looked like a form letter from the grad school, and if I recall there was someone else who had the same...the letter didn't include much substantive information though, so they may not have sent out all their acceptances yet.

[laurissimo]

Well- Got an admit from NCSU! Not sure if they've sent all their admits yet, but recruitment is Feb 29- March 2.

Anyone heard from Penn State, Ohio State, or GWU?

Hi, guys! De-lurking for a minute to let y'all know that Berkeley acceptances seem to have been finalized. I got a very, VERY nice rejection letter from a POI telling me that although I was one of the last to be cut, they had 322 applications for 12 spots and accepted students were already notified. Congrats to those who got in, and commiseration with those who didn't--you're in good company!

hey decaf! i'm sorry to hear you didn't get in! that's insanely competitive. i kind of can't believe those numbers. i was just wondering if this means that they already sent out all their acceptances, or if they just made their decisions already. I haven't heard a word back yet.

I had an interview with GW on January 30th. I heard I was part of a small pool. Haven't heard anything since. Good luck!

But I applied Hominid Paleo btw. Not a lot of bio folks on this forum it seems...

[Nic42]

Thanks for the condolences--I've been accepted to two other programs with full funding, and am still waiting to hear back from four others, so it's not as much of a letdown as it would've been last week. From the e-mail, it sounds like all acceptance letters have already gone out--I haven't received a formal rejection letter yet, but admits have been contacted. I can e-mail back and ask for greater clarification if others are particularly concerned.

[timetogobacktoschool]

Hey Nic42, you definitely don't have to do that, but thanks for the info. Congrats on your other acceptances!! That's great news.

Has anyone heard anything from UNC? There are two acceptances in the results, dating from the end of January. I wonder if they're finished with acceptances and haven't gotten around to rejections yet.

[anxiousanthro]

my app status for UNC is still just "submitted" so i'm also very curious about those acceptances...

[Nic42]

Thanks, timetogobacktoschool--good luck to you, too!

Hi all,

I received notice about an acceptance from UNC last month, on exactly the same date as the two submissions posted on the results page. I heard from my POI initially, but two weeks later I received an automated e-mail from the application system that the decision status was posted online. A link to a .pdf letter from the graduate school dean appeared at the bottom of the page. So be sure to look out for any e-mails like that, although it seems like the protocol was to be contacted by the department/POI first (as is the norm).

I was very excited to learn about the offer! Best of luck to all in their respective admissions endeavors..

Has anybody heard back from CUNY?

[duckiesandbees]

Okay, couldn't take it any longer... called UNC. Admin assistant said she didn't think they were done, but she knew that they had sent out some acceptances. However, I'm not holding out much hope because I haven't been contacted by the department.

Hi everyone! Has anyone heard back from the Duke evolutionary anth program?

[laurissimo]

But I applied Hominid Paleo btw. Not a lot of bio folks on this forum it seems...

Yeah, I'm not sure if the HP is the same as the new Anthropology PhD? Anyway, congrats on the interview! Hope it went well

Hi all,

anyone here applying to MIT's HASTS?

the results page shows interview invitations had been sent.

starting to get used to the rejection (Duke and Brown have helped me with that)...

[anotherapplicant]

I applied to HASTS. They sent an interview invitation yesterday; inviting me to either Skype or Cambridge early March.

[anotherapplicant]

What is the HASTS "results" page? I haven't been able to find anything of the sort for any of the schools I applied to -- even Davis to which I am already admitted.

Help on this?

?

[MMcKay]

Just had a totally brutal interview with Yale - Skype (I'm in East Africa). Invitation was for an informal conversation - was definitely NOT informal. Anyone else have similarly intense interviews?

[anotherapplicant]

Oh I see, Thanks. Results page on Gradcafe...

[anotherapplicant]

MMcKay, Who was your interview with? I have been thinking about how my interview went lately. Would be happy to talk. If you have a chance email me at the address below.

[newleaf]

@MMckay when did you get the invitation for interview?

Anyone heard a peep out of Stanford?

[anotherapplicant]

nothing so far from Stanford

[baybiobabe]

Just got my first rejection in the mail....Stony Brook's IDPAS program = sadness. I'm already accepted to my #1 though, so I'm not too down about it. But the rejections are out, just in case people are wondering!
