NOWAYNOHOW Posted February 3, 2014 Posted February 3, 2014 Academia.edu notifications driving anyone else nuts? I wish there was an alert that told you whether it was one your students or a POI googling you. Like, CODE RED: ADCOMM INVASION or CODE BLUE: SNOOPING UNDERGRADUATES. anthroflea 1
daykid Posted February 3, 2014 Posted February 3, 2014 (edited) I'm actually wishing more people would look at my Academia page. The only hits I've been getting are from one of the places I'm already accepted, which is great but I'd hope to see some of the others popping up as well Edited February 3, 2014 by daykid

NOWAYNOHOW Posted February 3, 2014 Posted February 3, 2014 I'm actually wishing more people would like at my Academia page. The only hits I've been getting are from one of the places I'm already accepted, which is great but I'd hope to see some of the others popping up as well Most of my schools are in the same area (and even more POIs live in the same city) so it is just one big blob of hits for me. haha I have an Academia account, but I don't think anyone can find me via Google. Thank goodness for having the same name as performer! I shouldn't complain! I'm 90% sure I know who looked for me today, since a POI asked one of my referees about me today. But if it was this POI...where is my email?! UGH
strudelle Posted February 3, 2014 Posted February 3, 2014 Thanks xstopfloating! It's good to know that at least I'm not the only one . I would love to get into SDSU.
Forsaken in LA Posted February 3, 2014 Posted February 3, 2014 (edited) Chicago interview posted on the results. I'm so bummed. Number one choice. Academia.edu search too. Edited February 3, 2014 by Forsaken in LA
daykid Posted February 3, 2014 Posted February 3, 2014 (edited) i wouldn't assume that because one went up that they are finished contacting people. if it is based on poi they could go out at a number of different times. I say that but I also am not expecting to get in to Chicago. The fit was a stretch. So, I dunno... wait and see! Nothing is over til it's over. Edited February 3, 2014 by daykid Forsaken in LA 1
letmein14 Posted February 3, 2014 Posted February 3, 2014 Does anyone know anything about Yale? It doesn't seem like POI's contacted anyone until the end of Feb last year.
NOWAYNOHOW Posted February 3, 2014 Posted February 3, 2014 Does anyone know anything about Yale? It doesn't seem like POI's contacted anyone until the end of Feb last year. Depends. Nothing so far this year, but I know cultural interview invites went out around early February in the past.
jellyfish1 Posted February 3, 2014 Posted February 3, 2014 Does anyone want to claim the Northwestern interview? What subfield was it for? Thanks and congrats to those who got interviews!
jamaisl'hiver Posted February 3, 2014 Posted February 3, 2014 So apparently a lot of people have heard back from Duke Cultural Anthro.... I haven't heard anything from them, and my app status just says "submitted"-- does this mean I am waitlisted? Probably not? I am waitlisted, and I received an email from the grad school telling me to check my app status, and then the next day also received an email from the director of graduate studies in the anthro department letting me know some of the details about being waitlisted.
skylarking Posted February 4, 2014 Posted February 4, 2014 Does anyone know anything about the Adcomms at UCR, SDSU (particularly confused about this one because there is only one result on this website and it's a confusing one), or UCSD? I have no idea when they meet or what to expect. Each school's website says they inform at the end of February, but the results page here suggests dates from the beginning of February to mid-April for each school. I also see varied results for notification by phone, email, and postal service. Hey there! (Long time lurker, first time poster. The wait is absolutely demolishing my sanity, so I finally registered) I've been dealing with the grad coordinator at UCSD due to some problems with one of my letters and they told me earlier this week that the adcom was beginning their meetings very soon. Also for anyone else who also applied to UBC (where I had the same problem, whooooo), they're also meeting soon/have already begun meeting.
Forsaken in LA Posted February 4, 2014 Posted February 4, 2014 haha I have an Academia account, but I don't think anyone can find me via Google. Thank goodness for having the same name as performer! Should it be taken as a positive sign that you were searched? I was searched today through academia.edu and don't have anything published, or any reason for anyone to search me.
NOWAYNOHOW Posted February 4, 2014 Posted February 4, 2014 (edited) Should it be taken as a positive sign that you were searched? I was searched today through academia.edu and don't have anything published, or any reason for anyone to search me. I generally think it is positive, or creepy, or both! In my case, it could be one of my students, but if you aren't doing anything else that would merit being searched, then it very well could be a POI or adcomm member. That's probably good, unless you have something on Google you'd want to hide, but it is safe to say being googled is a sign of interest. Edited February 4, 2014 by NOWAYNOHOW
Canis Posted February 4, 2014 Posted February 4, 2014 Agreed. I noticed that, early on, each time I reached out to a POI, they would google search for my name. It seems pretty standard these days. NOWAYNOHOW 1

Also for anyone else who also applied to UBC (where I had the same problem, whooooo), they're also meeting soon/have already begun meeting. Thanks for the info! I am almost 100% certain I won't get in here due to a rather unsuccessful meeting with a potential advisor. She also suggested there was no funding to work with her. But it would at least be nice to get some kind of result from somewhere.
sarab Posted February 4, 2014 Posted February 4, 2014 I've been dealing with the grad coordinator at UCSD due to some problems with one of my letters and they told me earlier this week that the adcom was beginning their meetings very soon. Thank you for this update! I applied to UCSD, so hopefully I'll hear something good back.
screencheck Posted February 4, 2014 Posted February 4, 2014 just to be clear, should I be logging on constantly to see if I have been accepted? or will I receive an e-mail?
ecologaia Posted February 4, 2014 Posted February 4, 2014 Praxismakesperfect- with Duke, remember, they sent that link for the applicant 'self service' page (sounds like a smutty suggestion, if you ask me) but anyway there is some site you need to check at https://shib-external.oit.duke.edu/idp/Authn/UserPassword . Good luck, i have had it work and fail to connect in equal measure.
NOWAYNOHOW Posted February 4, 2014 Posted February 4, 2014 (edited) Taking a cue from the History forum, I see there's a faculty meeting today at Yale anthro. Thoughts on it broaching the subject of admissions? Maybe we'll get some interview notifications going! http://www.yale.edu/anthro/anthropology/Department_Calendar.html ETA just gonna hashtag this #creep ETA 2: after some more Googling, I realized the internet simply knows too much and that I wouldn't put all my findings here for fear of mass hysteria, but you can generally find this and more (ie. adcomm members) if you look hard enough. #internetdetective Edited February 4, 2014 by NOWAYNOHOW dtpowis 1

Alterman Posted February 4, 2014 Posted February 4, 2014 Hello? Anybody? Somebody? Very little activity today
skylarking Posted February 4, 2014 Posted February 4, 2014 Woke up to an empty inbox, then to a UW-Madison acceptance?? D: Anyone wanna claim that one? My app status is still "pending."
Alatáriel Posted February 4, 2014 Posted February 4, 2014 I have been admitted to Madison. No mention of funding though............
