NOWAYNOHOW Posted February 26, 2014 Posted February 26, 2014 A while ago there was a post (I seem to remember) about NYU already notified those accepted. Yesterday there was a wave of rejections reported on the board, yet I didn't get mine (which I expected due to that post). Anybody else still on hold at NYU? Can anybody confirm that old post about NYU? The chances are so slim, but after five rejections I dare hope that the lack of rejection letter might just mean something good... All NYU offers (and I'm 90% sure wait list too) have gone out. Not everyone got their rejection yesterday, but no clue why not. Probably NYU's crappy overall web system. Sorry! sharalaxp 1

I didn't receive anything from them either, but I'm guessing that they're just sending out rejections in waves.

Forsaken in LA Posted February 26, 2014 Posted February 26, 2014 just wanna say thanks to everyone for the support. Good luck to those waiting. fingers and toes crossed for you all.
Alterman Posted February 26, 2014 Posted February 26, 2014 You only need one (good) acceptance, You only need one (good) acceptance, You only need one (good) acceptance... come on! daykid 1

johnreggae Posted February 26, 2014 Posted February 26, 2014 Yikes, more bad news today. Looks like this might not be my year. Ah well, it was a first attempt.
JPG Posted February 26, 2014 Posted February 26, 2014 Found out earlier this week that I was accepted into UCONN's Old World Archaeology PhD program with full funding, was asked to be discreet about it until the official notices went out today. I guess dreams do come true! It is nice to finally be able to relax and not stress over this anymore. I wish the best of luck to everyone else! pears 1

I visited and decided not to apply, but it was nothing against the department. Great people there! Best of luck!! Edited February 26, 2014 by DigDeep
lackingpatience Posted February 26, 2014 Posted February 26, 2014 Just got the official rejection from Berkeley. Knew it was coming, but it still stings. Ah well!
resurrectionist Posted February 26, 2014 Posted February 26, 2014 Rejection by mail (???) from Indiana University. And apparently UConn (my top choice) sent out acceptances today and I haven't heard anything. I feel sick.
sarab Posted February 26, 2014 Posted February 26, 2014 Just got the official rejection from Berkeley. Knew it was coming, but it still stings. Ah well! I'm sorry about that. Are you waiting on other programs?

I am pretty sure that old post was false, it went up after I had a conversation with a friend of mine. I mentioned that I was pessimistic about getting into programs--I know he assumed I was applying to NYU. That post was way too early for it to be authentic. I believe it also said Social Anthropology, rather than Cultural or Sociocultural. He was just trying to get me to freak out haha...its a terrible thing to do to other people.

anthroaf Posted February 27, 2014 Posted February 27, 2014 Any more news on Boston University (sociocultural)? Also, did anyone apply to American University...what information (no matter how general) do you have? This season is looking like a total bust for me...I just want it over....
Canis Posted February 27, 2014 Author Posted February 27, 2014 Any other UMass Amherst acceptances out there? Got my funding letter and would be interested in comparing the offers to see if it's standard - also anyone with UMass experience, please PM me - It seems like the funding has gotten much better, but I would love to talk to any current students. Thanks!
fasboo Posted February 27, 2014 Posted February 27, 2014 wait listed at stanford, rejection from berkeley. stanford says "extremely impressed by your application", "have put your name on an alternate list" , "there is some likelihood that we maybe able to offer you a place" is this the same thing as waitlisted or is this saying, " wait, we are looking for funding and if we get it ,your in" vs "if others dont say yes to offer, we may have space for you" anyone else get this? happy nonetheless blessings all around to the dreamers and the hopeful
anthropologygeek Posted February 27, 2014 Posted February 27, 2014 fasboo- that sounds like you were wait listed but huh on the list. For those waiting on results from schools that have notified, a lot of schools have unofficial waiting list. So you may be on that.
aboutdesouffle Posted February 27, 2014 Posted February 27, 2014 Just got the official rejection from Berkeley. Knew it was coming, but it still stings. Ah well! got mine too. it's the first official word on any of my apps. it almost feels good, the waiting is more difficult than the judgement itself. i can uncross a pair of fingers.
Whatthewhat Posted February 27, 2014 Posted February 27, 2014 Does anyone know if Boston always does interviews for the people they accept? I feel like I am really annoying, constantly asking about BU, but this process is making me crazy. As in, an actual crazy person.

I don't know if I'm a unique case or what? (Not trying to sound pretentious, just really don't!) Edited February 27, 2014 by DigDeep
