The Waiting Game - Fall 2014

[daykid]

You had quite a lot interviews btw.

Yea.... I'm having a way better go of it than I expected. To be fair though,  I don't live too far outside of Philly. So, it was also a convenience thing. My POI basically said if I had any questions or wanted to see the campus, I should come by and I took advantage of it.

Yeah last year Cornell was already done by this time. I am so anxious.

Yep. Knowing that information from the previous year only make it worse...

[sarab]

What about CUNY and UCLA (non-arch)? I saw some cultural rejections from CUNY, but no acceptances or interviews.

[strudelle]

I am freaking out quite a bit after a somewhat confusing phone call from my POI at my top choice the other day.  Sigh.  I want this so bad

[aboutdesouffle]

Are other socio-cultural folks who've applied to UC Berkeley and haven't heard either way also thinking no news is bad news?

[jonaki]

congratulations for the chicago acceptance! anyone want to claim it and let on which subfield they are? 

[chba]

[colorless]

Cornell is me. But it was an email. However they said that results will come very soon.

[Forsaken in LA]

Sorry colorless, stay positive. 

 

 

What do you mean it was an email? It was a personal email? Did you ask them? Sorry to ask so many questions, I'm just really curious. 

[colorless]

Yeah personal email because they want to refer me to the M.A. program in archaeology. I am surprised,sad and unable to function!  What can I do without funding?

[colorless]

It is 8 am here and what a wonderful way to start the day. I am so sad.

[dreams1214]

You can apply for funding once you are in the program

[colalalala]

It is 8 am here and what a wonderful way to start the day. I am so sad.

Trying to stay positive colorless!!! Don't lose hope!!!!

[colorless]

I am international, it is very difficult to go there without funding for one year of school. Plus I do have Master's already (in a different subject), my B.A. was in archaeology and a wonderful one. A PhD would be just perfect why am I being tortured.

[dreams1214]

You should ask them?  They may have options for you, especially if they are offering you a spot somewhere.

[colorless]

I will ask them for sure but still... moving to another country for yet another Master's at 30 with dependents without a tangible funding and without the guarantee for PhD...ummm.. lots of factors

[monfemme]

It is 8 am here and what a wonderful way to start the day. I am so sad.

hugs to you colorless. i am so sorry your day started off like that... I must admit I am shocked by how absorbed into this process I have become and can imagine how you feel. again hugzzzzz!!!

[strudelle]

Sorry to hear that, colorless.  I totally understand where you're coming from.  If you already have a masters then why would you waste your time going for another unfunded masters?  I really hope you hear some good news soon! 

[Khannnn]

I'm sorry colorless I would at least get in contact with them and ask how you could work out getting your MA there and possible funding. I know you have one already in a different area but maybe dedicating a couple years to getting a relevant Cornell MA will be beneficial in the long run?

[novacancy]

Anyone want to claim either of the CUNY interviews? Which subfield are you?
