Columbia MA Anthropology: Anyone going?

[simon]

Just curious to see how many of you are going to this program 2009. Those of you who will be attending, what made you decide to go?

I decided I'd go part-time for at least a year (enrollling Fall 2009). I will transfer to a CUNY if I don't get any funding for the subsequent year(s).

I figure getting exposed to Columbia's quality resources and expectations would be good for me. If I don't get funding, I'll transfer but still have my experience at Columbia in my background. I'm also switching fields (I studied political science and critical studies of race & ethnicity in undergrad) so I'll also probably find out whether anthropology is really for me from some of the best folks in the field, too.

are you going?

Hi folks,

Since this space hasn't been as vibrant of late, I was wondering is there still somebody out there waiting to hear from Columbia on the MA decisions?

All I have been hearing from them is ma

[happygolucky]

applied for the MA back in March and I think that's why I knew by mid-April. I don't know the time frame for others/folks that applied for the later deadline.

Ossuary- I applied to a different program at Columbia, but I wouldn't give up hope. I found out I was accepted today, about 2 weeks after others had been sent their decisions. Apparently, some glitch delayed the decisions from being mailed out, and because of commencement this week, Admissions and IT have both been preoccupied. Have you emailed them yet?

Just after I wrote the last note I got the news - mystery solved -

Cheers guys,
