Marcus Hollerback Posted January 30, 2015 Share Posted January 30, 2015 I wonder if Brown's anthropology department is at all linked to Classics? Someone reported that Brown has made its decisions but they won't go out until next week due to the impending blizzard. In any case, it's interesting to think about. Thanks! Do you know who reported this, and whether they were referring to the Classics program? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
birchleaf Posted January 30, 2015 Share Posted January 30, 2015 It's in the anthro board somewhere. I bounce between anthro, history, and classics just because I applied to archaeology programs and I want to see if I can find anyone who has reported results! Speaking of 20 questions / diffusing stress, here's a silly question: if you had to eat one food for the rest of your life, what would it be? For me it would definitely be grapes. They're great alone, but also frozen, and also made into wine. ruchudoo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marcus Hollerback Posted January 30, 2015 Share Posted January 30, 2015 (edited) In my case, it would be cheesecake. That is, if cholesterol and diabetes didn't exist. Edited January 30, 2015 by Marcus Hollerback Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedViper Posted January 30, 2015 Share Posted January 30, 2015 Somebody actually posted an interview offer from Brown's ancient history program, so I was planning to take Brown off my list, although I applied to their philology program. Unless these two programs recruit separately, does anyone know about this? Can't wait for the weekend. At least then I can take a break from constantly checking the search results Also, does anyone on these forums have any info on Brown's Classics department, since someone has already posted the results for their ancient history program.

I haven't heard anything from anyone in my department! I also applied there so if/ when I do hear anything back (God willing!) I'll be sure to post it ASAP!

AH2015 Posted January 30, 2015 Share Posted January 30, 2015 I haven't heard anything from anyone in my department! I also applied there so if/ when I do hear anything back (God willing!) I'll be sure to post it ASAP! I haven't heard from Brown either. I applied for ancient history but through the Classics dept. (There's also the option to apply through the History dept). I assumed that the classics-track ancient history acceptances would come out with the classics acceptances, but that's just a hunch. My Brown application was a bit of a mess (Dec. 1 killed me), so my expectations are a bit low for that program. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ruchudoo Posted January 30, 2015 Share Posted January 30, 2015 HI! I just found this forum a couple days ago and I totally wish I had earlier. More importantly my one food would be Ben & Jerry's half baked ice cream...but probably only because it has been my stress food these last couple weeks waiting.

birchleaf Posted January 30, 2015 Share Posted January 30, 2015 Hi ruchudoo! Welcome to the boards! Okay, time for next question: if you had to replace one of your hands with an object, what would it be and why? For me it would definitely be a cheese-grater. It's useful and also can be used in dangerous situations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B. Blumenstrauss Posted January 30, 2015 Share Posted January 30, 2015 Wait wait wait! My food would be cheese (Brie or Camembert would work perfectly) and the object for the hand would be a little dispenser of smoked salmon. With my new hand and my eternal supply of food I could organize nice little cocktails for my friends. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
birchleaf Posted January 30, 2015 Share Posted January 30, 2015 Oh my goodness Beatrice you are a genius! Perhaps we could team up, me with my grapes and cheese-grater hand. We would be unstoppable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ButTheLibraryISMyHomeAddre Posted January 30, 2015 Share Posted January 30, 2015 Where is this information coming from? I was told they would email between this week and the next. I know personally one of the lucky few who are flying over in a week or so. I don't know if this means all invitations have gone out, but I feel like Yale historically lumps notifications? Not sure. And I'm with you on the cheesecake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's useful and also can be used in dangerous situations. That's an easy question. My iPhone, obviously. It never leaves my hand anyway. Also, TGIF! At least I won't have to obsessively check my email during the weekend. So I can take a break a from waiting! Happy Weekend y'all! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B. Blumenstrauss Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 Must consider Yale and Chicago as lost? Buuuuuu! Well, let's wait for Classical Studies at Columbia <3 <3 <3 You know, this process would be a lot better if we had some kind of Bingo cards.

Yes, you're right. Three in a row. I insist on the Bingo thing: application is quite like betting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedViper Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 It just seems a little odd that no one has posted on the results page about getting invited to prospective student weekend. Well, the Penn interview offers were sent out on January 21st and 22nd. But they weren't posted on the results page until January 29th. So, maybe the people who received the offers forgot to post them on time. Or they are busy with something else at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The one who posted about Brown was interviewed, which is different from accepted (ex. me and Stanford). Yet, when candidates are interviewed is because the committee has already made the decisions (interviewed candidates become accepted or waitlisted, but rarely rejected). Or maybe you are a TERRIFIC candidate and nobody needs to make you an interview. Sounds rare, though.

As far as I know, what they do at Brown is they make a long list of potential candidates and then skim that list. These days, they should still be in the long list phase of the process. Which is why I'm a little surprised. But no, I didn't think I was so good I wouldn't get an interview. I don't really think that ever happens.
