colorless Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 Why are we tortured with one or two results per day? sigh. Here ends January! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colalalala Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 this entire month has been extremely excruciating...and while it's coming to an end, most schools I applied still haven't made their decisions...so here I come painfully long February it's kinda nice to know I am not alone in this u guys HrdyWordy and colorless 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canis Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 The worst part in my mind is that not everyone who applies is on Grad Cafe. Therefore, we don't actually know if certain schools have already accepted people or not. The number of acceptances can be so small that all those here who applied to that school might have been wait listed or rejected and won't be notified until later - meanwhile we're all waiting for the first acceptances to post - when they might have already gone out. Of course historical numbers suggest that they just haven't sent out decisions yet. The 2nd worst part are that some of the schools I applied to only send by mail - and that is annoying to say the least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Canis Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 All adcoms must be celebrating Wednesday Worry Day - a special holiday whereby they make us wait when they already know the answer just to gather data on cultural practices of worrying.

NOWAYNOHOW Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 An applicant was asked for an interview by someone at NYU today! Sociocultural Anthropology PhD hopeful. Looks like they completed both undergrad and grad in religious studies. !! NYU sociocultural interviews are not standard protocol, so don't worry. People get in without them. I'm sure it is a good sign to have one, but it's not built into their process. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jigsawyouth Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 Just wanted to let people know that my friend received an acceptance to Berkeley for the Medical Anthro track yesterday. Not sure if Medical tends to be earlier, but it shows that decisions have been / are being made at UCB. To my knowledge they were not interviewed.
