FaultyPowers Posted February 7, 2014 Posted February 7, 2014 What I hate is the period of perfect clarity that you get AFTER you apply (or don't apply) as to what isn't actually a good fit afterall, or what would have been a good fit that you didn't actually apply to. Oh well.
screencheck Posted February 7, 2014 Posted February 7, 2014 at this point, my perfect fit is any school that will take me. haha 1leafy, novacancy, emmaatquoins and 2 others 5
birinciben Posted February 7, 2014 Posted February 7, 2014 at this point, my perfect fit is any school that will take me. haha Sounds about right! HAHA
strudelle Posted February 7, 2014 Posted February 7, 2014 I've been on this forum all day. Didn't hear a peep today from the school I was waiting for. Guess it's time for beer and Skyrim. pears and dtpowis 2
screencheck Posted February 7, 2014 Posted February 7, 2014 I suppose it is time to get off Gradcafe for the night.
Don't Panic Posted February 7, 2014 Posted February 7, 2014 at this point, my perfect fit is any school that will take me. haha Same here. Hahaha
pears Posted February 7, 2014 Posted February 7, 2014 I applied to CUNY, Duke, UPENN, U of Michigan, Northwestern, Brown, Boston Uni, Rutgers, and Harvard all anthro, and Northeastern Sociology PhD programs. Haven't heard from anything except a rejection from Duke except an email from my POI in UPenn. I'm so nervous and kinda losing hope about them. Should I stay positive folks? I had a bunch of results pour in after the 15th of February last year. Keep an eye out.
sarab Posted February 7, 2014 Posted February 7, 2014 Anyone else hold out hope at the end of each day because your schools are in different time zones? Haha. Haha yes! I'm checking my email at midnight thinking "well, it's only 9pm in California... they could be working late finishing admissions"
Don't Panic Posted February 7, 2014 Posted February 7, 2014 Haha yes! I'm checking my email at midnight thinking "well, it's only 9pm in California... they could be working late finishing admissions" Haha yes! I'm checking my email at midnight thinking "well, it's only 9pm in California... they could be working late finishing admissions" As an International Applicant, that's even more true for me! I can't sleep at night thinking about how I may be getting an email while I sleep.
Forsaken in LA Posted February 7, 2014 Posted February 7, 2014 What is up with Cornell? They seem to have notified by now in the past.
colalalala Posted February 7, 2014 Posted February 7, 2014 As an International Applicant, that's even more true for me! I can't sleep at night thinking about how I may be getting an email while I sleep. I am in the same boat!!! I stay up til like 1 or 2 in the night and it's only past noon in the States, then I HAVE TO go to bed because I have to wake up at 6:30 for my job (I would've kept waiting if I didn't have a job). Needless to say, I did not get much sleep theses days and waking up to bad news is the WORST
novacancy Posted February 7, 2014 Posted February 7, 2014 CUNY people: I don't know how I missed this before, but apparently 23 people enrolled Fall 2013?! http://www.gc.cuny.edu/Page-Elements/Academics-Research-Centers-Initiatives/Doctoral-Programs/Anthropology/Arrivals-and-Departures Isn't that an incredible cohort size, or am I missing something? This changes nothing for me; I still very much desire a CUNY acceptance.

Can't risk falling asleep at the job right now! Checking the mail in the morning has become such a scary thing for me nowadays.
Forsaken in LA Posted February 7, 2014 Posted February 7, 2014 Generally should it be taken as a good sign to get a notification from the financial aid department that they have received your paperwork and are processing it?
jellyfish1 Posted February 7, 2014 Posted February 7, 2014 http://iwastesomuchtime.com/on/?i=87199 Something to remember when you're stressing out!
eriatarka Posted February 7, 2014 Posted February 7, 2014 Seems like a lot of people are posting results but not coming into the forum (or so it seems). Like Berkeley. lol
NOWAYNOHOW Posted February 7, 2014 Posted February 7, 2014 Generally should it be taken as a good sign to get a notification from the financial aid department that they have received your paperwork and are processing it? WHOOO?? CUNY people: I don't know how I missed this before, but apparently 23 people enrolled Fall 2013?! http://www.gc.cuny.edu/Page-Elements/Academics-Research-Centers-Initiatives/Doctoral-Programs/Anthropology/Arrivals-and-Departures Isn't that an incredible cohort size, or am I missing something? This changes nothing for me; I still very much desire a CUNY acceptance. If I remember correctly, the CUNY cohorts are generally larger and eventually become the backbone of a distributed teaching workforce across the CUNY campuses. I personally have a lot of respect for their system. I know funding has improved this year, but am not sure whether that is changing cohort size. I do think I noticed that sociology had a lot of results already, making me think cohorts might be the same this year. Crossing my fingers!!
NOWAYNOHOW Posted February 7, 2014 Posted February 7, 2014 Yale interview on the results board. Eeeeeep. There goes my day. Anyone want to fess up?
Forsaken in LA Posted February 7, 2014 Posted February 7, 2014 Ouch, sorry to the folks who got Princeton rejections today, keep your head up.
danaofdoom Posted February 7, 2014 Posted February 7, 2014 Seems like a lot of people are posting results but not coming into the forum (or so it seems). Like Berkeley. lol I'm such a noob with this website. Where can you look at results besides in the forum?
