sweetpearl16 Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 That is what is going on with William & Mary too, for anyone who may have applied there. The sent out their first three offers about two weeks ago. They have a waitlist, but have not informed those who are on it of their position. Rejections have not been sent out either.

Platysaurus Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 Hooray! Do you think you're going? Â Don't know yet to be brutally honest, I have a couple of other offers and I'm still waiting to hear back from 3 or 4 other places. It has the best funding package of all the places I applied to, good resources, proximity to NYC, only one year teaching fellowship as far as I can tell... BUT the fit with my proposed research isn't as good as with Cornell (which is further out, less funding...). A little torn... but I'm visiting the campuses in a few weeks so hopefully that'll help me make a decision, after all the biggest factor in whether I enjoy grad school and what I get out of it is how well I get along with the faculty and other students, and that's something I can't really tell unless I go there.

Nerd_For_Life Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 (edited) Just got accepted by York (socio cultural)! So stoked because I couldn't dream of being able to put together a better collection of supervisory committee members in all of North America for my research!! XDI was accepted via email and they said that the formal letter of offer and details of "a generous financial package" will arrive in the mail within two weeks!Edit: PhD program Edited February 28, 2013 by nicolemc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rapang Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 (edited) Received a rejection email from U of Washington a couple days ago, has anyone heard from Northwestern, UGA or Washington University in St. Louis? I'm applying for Sociocultural. I'm assuming that since I haven't heard back from Yale or Stanford, those are probably no's as well.

Â Sorry about the rejection, but it sounds like you've still got apps in the mix! Â I contacted Northwestern to ask about their timeframe and was told that we should hear back from them in the first week in March (so I think next week!). Â I hope this is helpful to know.

I got a call from them saying my transcript never arrived and I had to get a new one to them by Feb. 6 when the ad com was going to meet. That was over 3 weeks ago. I'm going to call next week and see what's going on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pears Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 congrats powertorest! and right back atcha, radiomars. anthropology and all its subfields seem to have a somewhat different app process compared to the more "common" fields around here, so it's nice to have a group of awesome, supportive people who totally get it. radiomars 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnthroPerson Posted March 1, 2013 Share Posted March 1, 2013 Finally heard from Ned at Berkeley, it was a no but I'm not shocked. I also emailed my undergraduate advisor and he told me I didn't get into there either, which is more of a blow since I'm actually on campus now visiting my brother so I was really hoping I'd be back in the fall. My last unknown that I'm still interested in is Yale which is almost certainly a no, but that's fine since I do have Michigan and I'm very excited about it!

powertorest Posted March 1, 2013 Share Posted March 1, 2013 Thanks radiomars and pears! I second all the support and general awesomeness of this board. I'm still unsure if grad cafe has made the whole process easier or if it’s been pushing me ever so closer to insanity....ah who cares anymore. Good luck everyone and congrats on all the acceptances. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mesoholic Posted March 1, 2013 Share Posted March 1, 2013 Hello everyone and congrats to those of you who have heard good news! I wanted to ask a question in regards to Yale. For those of us who haven't heard news from POI's, would it be safe to assume we still may have a chance? I know some POI's will e-mail and some will not. As far as I can tell nothing official has gone out yet so maybe hope remains for those of us who haven't heard anything. I would appreciate any input. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks!  According to the results search, in previous years, some candidates found out through emails prompting them to check the website. I'd think it's definitely still possible that you're in contention and you haven't been pre-informed by your POI. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coffeeandmilk Posted March 1, 2013 Share Posted March 1, 2013 What do you guys think about those of us who are waiting to hear from harvard? Should we assume that everyone that got in has already been notified? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mesoholic Posted March 1, 2013 Share Posted March 1, 2013 Thanks Radiomars! Indeed, contact from POI seems like a personal choice the professor makes. I suppose other faculty are more into making you wait it out, or perhaps just don't think to much about it. I hope I'm still  in contention as long as official notices haven't come out yet. I wish all POI's would give a friendly heads up before hand, either way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mesoholic Posted March 1, 2013 Share Posted March 1, 2013 Coffeeandmilk- As far as Harvard goes, I'm not too sure. It seems Harvard is one of the schools that has the most uncertainty when it comes to data on this board. I know one poster wrote that all archaeology decisions had been made a month ago, which I found strange because Harvard started back from winter break on Jan.28th. I'm pretty sure you will find out in post within the week. I don't think they send an e-mail notification unless its from a POI. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dnanthro Posted March 1, 2013 Share Posted March 1, 2013 I've been lurking as a non-member for a while, but figured I might as well start posting. Â The anxiety from waiting is insane. Â I've been rejected from 3 schools. Super competitive, so I wasn't too surprised. Â I noticed several Chicago rejections on the board, but I haven't heard anything from them (good or bad). I am not sure how to take that. Thoughts? Â Also, has anyone heard from Boston Univ or Teachers College? I saw some BU interviews on the board, but it seems that TC decisions don't go out until the end of March. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
