screencheck Posted February 21, 2014 Posted February 21, 2014 Got in UC-Santa Cruz! My first Ph.D acceptance i did my first two years of undergrad there, it is a very cool place!
anthroflea Posted February 21, 2014 Posted February 21, 2014 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. Yes. International students don't qualify for it or any kind of U.S. loans, usually. The problem which most international students face is that they cannot get a student loan from their country to study abroad, but also don't qualify for any kind of student loans and/or aid in the United States. So they completely depend on university funding. (You also cannot work off campus on a student visa). This makes complete sense since every country wants to spend its money on its own students and most international students in most countries face this obstacle in some way or another. It becomes a problem at the graduate school level, however, once people start looking for programs with a very specific research focus and start applying all over the world.
widefellow Posted February 21, 2014 Posted February 21, 2014 Congratulations, I've heard great things about the anthro program there! I'm a big fan of Anna Tsing Thanks! I know, that's a great program! I didn't think I stand a chance at all. Truth is, you will never know...
widefellow Posted February 21, 2014 Posted February 21, 2014 i did my first two years of undergrad there, it is a very cool place! Yeah! I have never been to the West, but I always hear great things about it. I have heard the campus has gorgeous views.
emmaatquoins Posted February 22, 2014 Posted February 22, 2014 Another week with nothing! I'm still fairly sure I'm not into Columbia, but I still have a tiny bit of hope for Florida... Get on with it!!
widefellow Posted February 22, 2014 Posted February 22, 2014 Congrats widefellow!! Thanks Strudelle! People who still waiting to hear good news stay positive! This acceptance came after three rejections, so you will never know what will happen, thus you should never lose hope.
katekal29 Posted February 22, 2014 Posted February 22, 2014 Another week with nothing! I'm still fairly sure I'm not into Columbia, but I still have a tiny bit of hope for Florida... Get on with it!! Columbia and Yale are taking their sweet time... Oh wait... All of my schools are. I'm trying to remain hopeful!
gradcat Posted February 22, 2014 Posted February 22, 2014 Well...that leaves really stanford for me as that is the only interview I got....what about johns hopkins anthro...anyone heard from them? i think someone needs to design a rejection rehab center ....how does one get over one solid year of graduate school obsession..... good idea. I'm coming from a different academic field, and this whole finding out we're rejected by seeing a posted accepted is totally foreign and completely harsh. It's like finding out your boyfriend dumped you when you see him out with someone else. bellabean 1
Canis Posted February 22, 2014 Author Posted February 22, 2014 Anyone else hear from a POI at Umass Amherst? Got an email from mine saying that they hope I choose Amherst, and offering help with the decision if I need it. Though I can't tell if this is hinting at an admission, or something else... mysterious.

Hehe certainly hope you get in, sounds like they really want you there Canis 1
agarabara Posted February 22, 2014 Posted February 22, 2014 to the Toronto rejection listing on the board: i'm sorry i think i must be in your position also, just haven't gotten a letter yet. do you mind sharing what it said (anything about a waitlist or anything?) and has your app status changed on the website or is it still 'under review'?? Canis 1
Canis Posted February 22, 2014 Author Posted February 22, 2014 Sounds like they forgot to send you your acceptance letter/email! Hehe certainly hope you get in, sounds like they really want you there I hope so - the timing is interesting b/c the first admission result on the board from last year is this coming Monday. Hopefully this is a sort of unnoficial acceptance. I'm actually not sure how to respond to the email...

skylarking Posted February 22, 2014 Posted February 22, 2014 Official rejection from ucsd. I saw it coming so I'm not surprised but still really, super bummed. Though being at my second party of the evening, I'm drowning my sorrows in gin
