Tachiyaku Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 (edited) Thank you! I got an email from the graduate director with an attached letter that had all the details. I had not contacted any professors previously. Edited January 9, 2015 by Tachiyaku Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smg Posted January 10, 2015 Share Posted January 10, 2015 Thanks! I have a BA; I graduated last year with a 3.88 GPA. I did research when I studied abroad and then for my senior thesis, and both projects were independent and culminated in large pieces of writing. I think that my main weaknesses were that I didn't contact any professors and that my SOP didn't have a specific project so much as interests and a potential research direction. Also, my UC Irvine SOP was the most able to specifically point at a prof and be like "I know his work! And it's related to mine in multiple ways!" But I have no idea what happened with my other apps yet, so I don't know if that's relevant. It's always weird to share my academic details, but there is such a lack of information on who's accepted that I want other people to tell me their stats, too... Thanks for sharing. I have similar GPA in Anthro from an unknown Canadian school. I have coursework for an MA I dropped out of almost a decade ago, a few years doing social movement research plus I've worked in the field I'm proposing to study. Someone got into UOregon. Acceptances and interviews are starting to dribble in. Its kind of exciting! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snowswirl Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 Hey everyone, I am new here. I was wondering, did anyone else apply to the anthropology department at Johns Hopkins? And do you know what their decision timeline tends to be? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NOWAYNOHOW Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 With all the good news starting to come in, I want to encourage people who don't normally post in the forums but do contribute to the results board to join us here! Not only is it important to produce archives of admissions for each year (and we're anthropologists, so we know the board data doesn't tell the whole story) to encourage transparency for and among applicants, but it is also a way to meet other scholars who might just be your colleagues and collaborators in the future. I know plenty of people are seeing this, so speak up! We're all in this together. smg, grad_wannabe and museum_geek 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RPCV Cameroon Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 Does anyone know if they invite applicants living outside of the US to interview weekends? Or do they only invite people living in country? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
have2thinkboutit Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 They do invite people living abroad as well, but they may only (if at all) fund parts of your trip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NOWAYNOHOW Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 I have a WUSTL interview. I'm kind of queasy with adrenalin. OMG CONGRATS! A poster (and now friend) from last year ended up at WUSTL and he loves it. If I remember correctly, their interview day was done like speed dating. Good luck!! smg 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
