colorless Posted January 29, 2014 Posted January 29, 2014 Why are we tortured with one or two results per day? sigh. Here ends January!
colalalala Posted January 29, 2014 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
Canis Posted January 29, 2014 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.
Alterman Posted January 29, 2014 Posted January 29, 2014 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. No... Just not snail mail. I can just imagine that envelope getting lost on its way...
Canis Posted January 29, 2014 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. IRB approved, I'm sure. anthroflea, jamaisl'hiver and BuddingScholar 3
1leafy Posted January 29, 2014 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. !!
novacancy Posted January 29, 2014 Posted January 29, 2014 I think a couple of the application decision pages have been burnt into my retinas. HrdyWordy and 1leafy 2
emmaatquoins Posted January 29, 2014 Posted January 29, 2014 There was a Princeton Art Hist acceptance today... Art Hist and Arch at Princeton is one of mine :/ erk!!
NOWAYNOHOW Posted January 29, 2014 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.
Alterman Posted January 29, 2014 Posted January 29, 2014 *tumble weed rolls by* Made me laugh there...
Forsaken in LA Posted January 30, 2014 Posted January 30, 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. !! Was this on the results board?
Jump Posted January 30, 2014 Posted January 30, 2014 Was this on the results board? I saw it on the board earlier.
Forsaken in LA Posted January 30, 2014 Posted January 30, 2014 (edited) huh, interesting. I can't find it. Well, fingers crossed still. Nvm. found it. Edited January 30, 2014 by Forsaken in LA
jellyfish1 Posted January 30, 2014 Posted January 30, 2014 If you search "anthropology", it is the third result listed. Forsaken in LA 1
Daisy123 Posted January 30, 2014 Posted January 30, 2014 the more this process gets closer to when we start really getting answers (aka being bombarded at least once on a weekly basis), the more gray-ing hairs i am seeming to get.... Forsaken in LA and HrdyWordy 2
jigsawyouth Posted January 30, 2014 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.
colorless Posted January 30, 2014 Posted January 30, 2014 the more this process gets closer to when we start really getting answers (aka being bombarded at least once on a weekly basis), the more gray-ing hairs i am seeming to get.... you will have more during PhD so save them for that

strudelle Posted January 30, 2014 Posted January 30, 2014 As I look at results I realize more and more that no one with stats as bad as mine (very low GRE) has been accepted. My hopes are basically completely gone.
colorless Posted January 30, 2014 Posted January 30, 2014 I spent all day yesterday expecting to hear from Brown....come oooooooooooon same but from archaeology. nothing so far.
