Forsaken in LA Posted February 20, 2014 Posted February 20, 2014 (edited) I didn't see another acceptance. Did they offer you the MA? NVM, found it. Edited February 20, 2014 by Forsaken in LA
sarab Posted February 20, 2014 Posted February 20, 2014 Sorry about the rejections folks! Sending everyone good vibes.
strudelle Posted February 21, 2014 Posted February 21, 2014 Just saw an acceptance to UCSD. Anyone wanna claim it?
johnreggae Posted February 21, 2014 Posted February 21, 2014 Double whammy rejections yesterday from Cornell and Arizona. Yikes!
sarab Posted February 21, 2014 Posted February 21, 2014 Double whammy rejections yesterday from Cornell and Arizona. Yikes! Sorry about that john! I hope you get some good news today. Also, does anyone want to claim the UCLA linguistic anthro acceptance? PM if you don't mind. Thanks!
Anne00 Posted February 21, 2014 Posted February 21, 2014 Double whammy rejections yesterday from Cornell and Arizona. Yikes! Sorry about Arizona. I am still waiting to hear from them, but they seem to be trickling out there acceptance/rejection emails. johnreggae 1
colorless Posted February 21, 2014 Posted February 21, 2014 did you end up excepting the MA program? did you think about it? not (yet). i need to win the lottery first. who is the other acceptance i wonder.
danaofdoom Posted February 21, 2014 Posted February 21, 2014 Does anyone know anything about wait lists? Like, would most schools send out notifications that students have been wait-listed after they send out acceptances? Most of the UCSD acceptances seem to have gone out, so I don't think I'll be getting one. But I'm holding out hope that maybe I'll be put on the wait list, and someone will decide to go somewhere else.

But I'm holding out hope that maybe I'll be put on the wait list, and someone will decide to go somewhere else. Some of them seem to not even bother sending out waitlist notifications and just leave students hanging. Looking at last year's UCSD results, they don't send out waitlist notifications, but then again, not every applicant comes to gradcafe. Good luck. I hope you hear some good news soon! danaofdoom 1
johnreggae Posted February 21, 2014 Posted February 21, 2014 Sorry about Arizona. I am still waiting to hear from them, but they seem to be trickling out there acceptance/rejection emails. Thanks for the condolences! The bummer of it all is only starting to sink in today. My morning hour of cardio was spent dwelling on it. Arizona wasn't an excellent fit and I knew it, which is turning out to be a pretty consistent error on my part: going for schools that are more prestigious rather than going for best fit with my research trajectory. I luckily picked about 3-4 solid fits and am still waiting to hear back from them, so my fingers are crossed.
johnreggae Posted February 21, 2014 Posted February 21, 2014 Sorry about that john! I hope you get some good news today. Also, does anyone want to claim the UCLA linguistic anthro acceptance? PM if you don't mind. Thanks! Thanks, Sarab! Me too, although I have learned to keep my expectations very low on hearing anything back at all. Too many days of "this is the day!" without fruit have taught me to not expect much. Ah well, let us all remain calm like the Buddha. I hope more good news comes your way as well.
magiaepasta Posted February 21, 2014 Posted February 21, 2014 Just saw this on the results page: "I have called the [Chicago] anthropology department this morning. She said that all the accepted and wait-listed PhD candidates were notified. If you are a MA student with an anthropology degree, that means you are rejected. If you are a BA student or MA student with other degrees, you are now under the MAPSS's review (the Master program). The Master program may notify you next week about your status. Hope that helps." I'm gonna go ahead and call that a rejection as I don't plan on considering the Master's program. Just send me a real rejection letter so I can stop feeling in limbo, Chicago! Forsaken in LA 1
fasboo Posted February 21, 2014 Posted February 21, 2014 hey - anyone heard from Harvard Anthro or NYU??? also any one who got an stanford interview - heard any good news? or any news? good luck everyone!
sarab Posted February 21, 2014 Posted February 21, 2014 It's a no for me from PSU. Bummer. I'm sorry. Are you waiting on any other news? Good luck!
eriatarka Posted February 21, 2014 Posted February 21, 2014 hey - anyone heard from Harvard Anthro Nope - I'm sure we'll all be getting our rejection letters soon enough
bellabean Posted February 21, 2014 Posted February 21, 2014 Fasboo- Someone posted that NYU was finished notifying and someone had posted a Harvard acceptance they rec'd via email- and not many have posted Harvard acceptances in the past so that may be it for them- though they notify via usps, in the past there seems to have been some contact with acceptees before the snail mail.
fasboo Posted February 21, 2014 Posted February 21, 2014 Yes waiting from Yale but i think maybe no interview, so no good news from there possibly...
resurrectionist Posted February 21, 2014 Posted February 21, 2014 hey - anyone heard from Harvard Anthro or NYU??? also any one who got an stanford interview - heard any good news? or any news? As far as I'm aware, NYU has already sent out their stuff. I got waitlisted and someone else on here was accepted.

Daisy123 Posted February 21, 2014 Posted February 21, 2014 not (yet). i need to win the lottery first. who is the other acceptance i wonder. but you can apply for FAFSA! that will take care of your tuition at least! Forsaken in LA 1
Forsaken in LA Posted February 21, 2014 Posted February 21, 2014 but you can apply for FAFSA! that will take care of your tuition at least! I'm not 100% sure, but I believe you have to be a citizen to take advantage of Federal Aid. I could be wrong though.
beekay Posted February 21, 2014 Posted February 21, 2014 hey - anyone heard from Harvard Anthro or NYU??? also any one who got an stanford interview - heard any good news? or any news? good luck everyone! fasboo, haven't heard anything from Stanford either.
