pears Posted March 8, 2014 Posted March 8, 2014 Just got a totally unexpected letter by email from University of British Columbia. "I am pleased to inform you that we are recommending your admission into the PhD programme in Anthropology..." and then it gets even better: "Due to your outstanding academic record, you have been selected as a recipient of UBC's premier Four Year Doctoral Fellowship...." Funding includes all tuition & fees and living expenses, and any TA money is on top of that. I'm floored. Holy whoa! Congrats!!

ecologaia Posted March 9, 2014 Posted March 9, 2014 Anyone here considering going to UNC Chapel Hill? Feel free to PM me! Just got off the phone with a new incoming prof there, and had another chat with the director last week... they pretty much fund for 5 years if they need to, they are building up summer and language study funding, and they entered me for some extra funding I hadn't even heard of, and just sort of mentioned it offhand. I've never been but people have told me the area is beautiful... Anyone know anything about Chapel Hill's program or area? Welcoming all thoughts! Forsaken in LA and pears 2

I'm still waiting on a couple of other responses, so I'm not certain of anything yet. My partner and I are also trying to coordinate program, so still lots of decisions to make!
gracedavis91 Posted March 11, 2014 Posted March 11, 2014 anyone thinking about CUNY, UC Davis, or New Mexico next year?? Feel free to PM me... I have some hard choices to make!
cotterw Posted March 11, 2014 Posted March 11, 2014 Received my Northwestern rejection the other day. Personal email from POI telling me that they were super tight on admissions this cycle, especially in Linguistic Anthropology. She was king enough to tell me that the admissions committee was genuinely impressed with my work, just didn't think I was the best fit. Congrats to everyone accepted!

Whatthewhat Posted March 11, 2014 Posted March 11, 2014 Hey, congratulations!!! Glad the first one to hear back from BU was an acceptance Hope this bodes well for the rest of us. I am worried if we don't hear back very soon it isn't going to end well
anthroplease Posted March 11, 2014 Posted March 11, 2014 Congrats to everyone with recent acceptances and the opportunity to decide between multiple offers! April 15th is the absolute deadline to hear back from schools by right, MA or PhD? I'm still waiting on 3 schools, plus 1 wait-list... Do schools usually notify wait-listed candidates by April 15 as well?
NOWAYNOHOW Posted March 11, 2014 Posted March 11, 2014 Rejected from Columbia! Checked the website and there was an update. I am so over 2014. dreams1214 1
skylarking Posted March 11, 2014 Posted March 11, 2014 Rejected from Columbia! Checked the website and there was an update. I am so over 2014. Came to post basically this exact thing. I high-fived my friend when I saw. They were confused at my exuberance over being rejected.
CulturalAnth Posted March 12, 2014 Posted March 12, 2014 (edited) I've received two fellowship rejections from WUSTL, but still no word from the anth department. Basically, I'm just expecting a rejection from them at this point, and I am over it. Ready to move on with my life.... Edited March 12, 2014 by CulturalAnth
dead-men-talking Posted March 12, 2014 Posted March 12, 2014 Hi all, heard back from Southern Illinois for physical anthro (rejection, late January), still waiting on Michigan State for the same...blurg!
Forsaken in LA Posted March 12, 2014 Posted March 12, 2014 Columbia rejection... Socio-cultural track. I was informed my application was under review for the MA. I will pass on that if offered. good luck everyone!
fishjg Posted March 12, 2014 Posted March 12, 2014 I called Wisconsin today - results will be sent out by the end of the week.
sarab Posted March 12, 2014 Posted March 12, 2014 Sorry about the bad news everyone. I'm still rooting for all of you! Forsaken in LA 1
