ciistai Posted February 1, 2013 Posted February 1, 2013 Hm, just saw this message posted on the UTexas Status Check thing... don't remember it being there last time I checked: "Attention: Your file has been forwarded to the Graduate Committee for review. As soon as a decision is made on your application, it will be posted on this page, and you will be notified by email." I guess they're meeting quite soon. Good luck to anyone who applied there, although I'm not sure any of the more frequent posters here have!
hanbran Posted February 1, 2013 Author Posted February 1, 2013 I was planning to, before they lost Tim Moore, but, in the end, I decided not to.

I'm being really superstitious about checking the Status Check things on my applications, just afraid I'll see an outright rejection. Makes no sense whatsoever--would a rejection email be any better? At any rate, thanks for the info
Conscia Fati Posted February 1, 2013 Posted February 1, 2013 I have heard that Princeton and Yale have extended interviews.

kaloskagathos Posted February 1, 2013 Posted February 1, 2013 (edited) Even though I'm convinced none of my statuses will change to anything good before I get an e-mail from the department, I insist on checking the sites. It's a bit cathartic. And, on a certainly-not-related note, does anyone know if the Berkeley AHMA result is real? I'm a little skeptical of an acceptance that gets the university's name wrong (and, well, maybe a little jealous, too). Edited February 1, 2013 by kaloskagathos

lexjulia Posted February 1, 2013 Posted February 1, 2013 I think the one kaloskagathos is talking about is the one I've quoted below, which gets the name for the Group (AMHA) at Berkeley wrong. There's actually a program for Classical Archaeology at Berkeley that's seperate from the Group and, I believe, under the umbrella of the Classics Department (I've known people in both programs). I think the "Texas Girl" result Conscia Fati quotes refers specifically to the non-Group Archaeology option. The 2013 result that appears to be for the Group comes up if you search "ancient" or "Mediterranean." It won't come up under Classics or similar iterations. It's as follows: University Of Berkeley Ancient History And Mediterranean Archaeology, PhD (F13) Accepted via Phone on 26 Jan 2013 A 28 Jan 2013 kaloskagathos 1

I didn't even think of searching for "ancient." Don't give up hope just yet, though! You never know if they stagger acceptances or if they might still be working on their wait list.
lexjulia Posted February 1, 2013 Posted February 1, 2013 (edited) Oooops, I mean AHMA Well, I got that ass backwards. Duh. Dyslexia here. Apologies to all involved! Edited February 1, 2013 by lexjulia
IuliaMaior Posted February 1, 2013 Posted February 1, 2013 The program is AHMA: http://ahma.berkeley.edu/. This post is mine -- sorry for the "University of Berkeley" -- I had entered another university result on my phone, and it did a fun mismatch of "UC-Berkeley" and "University of"... It is my understanding that there were two spots this year and that acceptances have been sent out. I do believe there is a wait-list? Conscia Fati and kaloskagathos 2

Nomothete Posted February 1, 2013 Posted February 1, 2013 I'm terrified because people are posting that they have been short-listed at Cornell while I've heard nothing.

Conscia Fati Posted February 1, 2013 Posted February 1, 2013 So random question: what do y'all think about the proposed name change of APA/AIA?
IuliaMaior Posted February 1, 2013 Posted February 1, 2013 Hey, no problem! I just noticed the University of Berkeley when you pointed it out. I really wish there was an edit feature... Also, to add to the above, I'm a compulsive status checker. On the plus side, Florida State's web system updated before I was officially notified of acceptance/check account...
ciistai Posted February 1, 2013 Posted February 1, 2013 Congratulations!! (Also out of curiosity, although we know it wasn't fake - why would anyone fake a result? I've seen people on other boards in the forum call out certain result submissions as fake but I cannot understand why anyone would do such a thing...) Conscia Fati - I thought it was just APA changing the name, didn't know AIA would do it as well?
Conscia Fati Posted February 1, 2013 Posted February 1, 2013 Ciistai, you're absolutely right. It is just APA that is considering the name change. http://apaclassics.org/index.php/apa_blog/apa_blog_entry/3948/

It is just APA that is considering the name change. http://apaclassics.org/index.php/apa_blog/apa_blog_entry/3948/ Thanks for the link! As a Canadian myself I see where the CAC is coming from when they say they don't like the idea of CANA. I personally like American Classical Association but I know that will indeed be confusing between ACA and ACL. Maybe something that starts with Society or Institute is best. To be perfectly honest I actually see the whole thing as unnecessary but I do understand their reasons behind the decision. Edited February 1, 2013 by ciistai Conscia Fati 1
Conscia Fati Posted February 1, 2013 Posted February 1, 2013 I tend to agree with you -- I'm rather fond of the old fashioned American Philological Association. I do wonder if they will ever be able to agree upon a different name, though. I'm going to be a little sad if/when APA changes to something else.
videro Posted February 1, 2013 Posted February 1, 2013 (edited) You guys--this threat just achieved 'hot' status. Congratulations! We're awesome! Edited February 1, 2013 by rsmease Conscia Fati 1
