CaliArch Posted February 4, 2014 Posted February 4, 2014 Calling out all Berkeley applicants; who has heard back, spoken with their POI, etc.
jellyfish1 Posted February 4, 2014 Posted February 4, 2014 I've heard nothing, but there's an anthro arch result on the board.
dtpowis Posted February 4, 2014 Posted February 4, 2014 Not I (since applying, at least). Someone here on the forum said last week that they have a friend who already received an acceptance into their Medical Anthro track (which accepts two per year), but there hasn't been anything confirmed.
CaliArch Posted February 4, 2014 Author Posted February 4, 2014 I was conversing with my POI until late December, when I thought I should lay off on the questions in time for adcomms to start looking at applications. It's been pretty silent in the results page, already heard back from Davis; to get a result from Berkeley would be great!
fishjg Posted February 5, 2014 Posted February 5, 2014 I got into Davis also! Dying to hear from Berkeley…not so hopeful though - such a long shot!
CaliArch Posted February 5, 2014 Author Posted February 5, 2014 I got into Davis also! Dying to hear from Berkeley…not so hopeful though - such a long shot! are you bio or sociocultural?
agarabara Posted February 19, 2014 Posted February 19, 2014 cultural applicant here.. im starting to get the sense that decisions already went out at the beginning of the month (given past years patterns and a few admissions that were posted then)...should i just assume the worst at this point? is anyone else waiting?
ENMC Posted February 19, 2014 Posted February 19, 2014 The results on the board were for medical anthro, right? I think  there was just one that was unspecified, but since it was on the same day as the medical ones I assumed it must have been for med anthro as well.  I’m cultural so I’m still waiting even though per previous years' schedules acceptances should have been notified by now.  I wish they’d just say something already.Â

Maybe that’s why I haven’t gotten accepted anywhere... apparently I can’t even read.  I’m now expecting a rejection. Thanks!Â

eriatarka Posted February 19, 2014 Posted February 19, 2014 It ain't over til it's over. I just got an acceptance from a school that had 3 admissions offers posted around Jan. 20. You never know!
anthropologygeek Posted February 19, 2014 Posted February 19, 2014 I have a friend who got accepted at the end of march in culture to the phd program so don't lose hope
An Shi Posted February 19, 2014 Posted February 19, 2014 Admitted with GPA 3.2 PDP program Chemcial Engineering MS degree.
DigDeep(inactive) Posted February 20, 2014 Posted February 20, 2014 (edited) Well, that's nice, but this is the Anthropology section. Grats, though! [insert random engineering meme] Edited February 20, 2014 by DigDeep anthropologygeek, novacancy, eriatarka and 1 other 4
agarabara Posted February 21, 2014 Posted February 21, 2014 (edited) has anyone tried emailing or calling the department? Â and thank you to you all for the signs of encouragement! Edited February 21, 2014 by agarabara
CaliArch Posted February 21, 2014 Author Posted February 21, 2014 I emailed Ned and got nothing back! That was around a week ago too. I applied under the archaeology track, and had pretty steady contact with my POI.
fasboo Posted February 21, 2014 Posted February 21, 2014 yes, i am also waiting to hear from berkeley...no one seems to have heard from them right?Â
CaliArch Posted February 21, 2014 Author Posted February 21, 2014 I'm rather hesitant to contact my POI directly, but I'm getting impatient...
agarabara Posted February 21, 2014 Posted February 21, 2014 I'm rather hesitant to contact my POI directly, but I'm getting impatient... Â i would call the department first, but i'm also too paranoid to do that, haha. it's probably not the worst thing to contact your POI and just remind them of your interest. if you've been made other offers, you can refer to those too and say that you're still really drawn to berkeley
agarabara Posted February 21, 2014 Posted February 21, 2014 will any brave souls do what i am afraid to do? (mostly afraid of hearing i've been rejected on the phone)
agarabara Posted February 24, 2014 Posted February 24, 2014 does anyone want to claim the early february acceptances, and if you were cultural or not?
jellyfish1 Posted February 24, 2014 Posted February 24, 2014 So according to the results board, we should hear soon! Yikes.
