radiomars Posted February 25, 2013 Author Share Posted February 25, 2013 Radiomars- what subdivision are you applying for ay Yale? I'm archaeology. I'm applying to bio.anthro. I know only cultural does interviews so it's kind of frustrating not having any feedback until decision time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leon_Dexter Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 yes but super informally. i was told the official letters don't go out until march. (they're a little later with things...i remember their application being due late january!) Was just wondering because they did interviews a few years back but hadn't heard if they did them this year or not. What subfield did you go with panda_bear? Bio, Arch, Psych, Cul?

What subfield did you go with panda_bear? Bio, Arch, Psych, Cul? Cultural. I didn't interview but I went out to visit the department in November and meet with a few faculty and graduate students. Perhaps that means in my case no need to conduct an interview? I think I'm unique case re UCSD so my experience shouldn't be seen as illustrative (or maybe it should? Honestly this whole process is somewhat unpredictable (hence the reason why we are all asking and looking up past years info...there's like zero transparency for applicants, it's nerve wrecking)).

tovenusandback Posted February 26, 2013 Share Posted February 26, 2013 Had no idea Harvard did that. My bad! I wrote to the department, and that's what they told me. That is what I have heard as well. Also I think it says on their website that they only do snail mail. If someone did get accepted, I'd hope they'd let us know! Sigh! But either way, we shall know our fates within the next 10 days!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bones_gal85 Posted February 26, 2013 Share Posted February 26, 2013 Has anyone heard anything about Toronto on the biological end? The website says "decision made" but I haven't gotten an email or anything. I'm expecting a rejection letter via post, but I was just curious to see if anyone had gotten a rejection email or anything else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Platysaurus Posted February 26, 2013 Share Posted February 26, 2013 Just got rejected from Princeton. At least I've got offers from other places already. Still sucks though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sweetpearl16 Posted February 26, 2013 Share Posted February 26, 2013 Somebody posted a Maryland accept on the results search. If you posted that, were you contacted by your POI or the DGS? I was told that results would be sent out later this week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atomnc Posted February 26, 2013 Share Posted February 26, 2013 Has anyone just heard nada out of Chicago? I wasn't contacted re: an interview, haven't seen an acceptance or rejection on the website, etc. Is this a likely deferral to the MAPSS program?

bipedalcycle Posted February 26, 2013 Share Posted February 26, 2013 atomnc: Chicago sent rejection letters last week, I believe regardless of whether one had had an interview or not. If you haven't heard anything from there, it definitely sounds a wee bit more positive than the outright rejection that landed in my mailbox... On a different note, has anybody heard anything from Vanderbilt? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stet Posted February 26, 2013 Share Posted February 26, 2013 It looks like in the past maybe Chicago sends out rejections in waves? Anyway, just waiting for mine any day now . . . . Did anyone attend the Duke anthro weekend last weekend? Just wondering how it went. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arglooblaha Posted February 26, 2013 Share Posted February 26, 2013 I haven't heard jack from Chicago either. But I also haven't heard anything from 6 other schools and there have been postings on the board, some also with both rejections and acceptances so I dunno. If I don't hear by mid-March i'm going to start calling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I don't hear by mid-March i'm going to start calling. Chicago sent rejections in waves of elimination. Those that didn't make the first round received emails about the same time the priority candidates received theirs. Same with the second and third rounds. Lots of candidates in archaeology and linguistics this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I'm not accepted to any PhD programs it's tempting to go this route but I'm not sure how much advantage it would give when doing PhD apps again.

AnthroPerson Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 Frustrated because my SO needs to make a major career decision TOMORROW and it all depends on where I get in... why can't I know right now?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leon_Dexter Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 (edited) What do folks think about the MAPSS program? If I'm not accepted to any PhD programs it's tempting to go this route but I'm not sure how much advantage it would give when doing PhD apps again. MAPSS is a pretty strong gateway to the program. The amount of time spent with the University's instructors is pretty much on par with the Ph.D candidates. Their cohorts are also more engaged with one another.

feministanth Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 Things have been so silent for me, I'm going crazy! Any word from UT Austin or UCSC? I know a lot of the other UCs have already made decisions but haven't seen anything about Santa Cruz on the forums... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
