Munich Posted November 11, 2014 Share Posted November 11, 2014 Hi all! Anyone applying for Duke Anthropology? Would be great to compare notes. Robin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suavesana Posted November 11, 2014 Share Posted November 11, 2014 Yup! For evolutionary anthro, though. How is it going? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Munich Posted November 12, 2014 Author Share Posted November 12, 2014 Hi! It's going well just continuing work on my SOP. Duke is my first choice so i'm trying to nail it! What about you? Are you applying for other schools? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanJackson Posted November 14, 2014 Share Posted November 14, 2014 I really like Duke's SOP samples and used them as models when I was applying - however I wasn't applying to Duke.. I'm glad they offer those, but it must be nerve-wracking to have them because it's obvious that's what they're looking for but you can't do anything too similar.

Meglet Posted November 22, 2014 Share Posted November 22, 2014 Yeah, I'm applying to Duke. I wrote to one of the professors and she said that I should write my SoP to appeal broadly, since it's a group decision. That feels a little challenging, since they so clearly favor very specific proposals. DanJackson 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Munich Posted December 3, 2014 Author Share Posted December 3, 2014 Hi, Great! Yeh i got similar feedback from the professor i've been in contact with. I agree with you, i'm finding the whole process challenging actually, i'm applying from the UK and it's the first time i've applied to programs in the US. Is Duke one of your preferred choices? What is your project about, broadly ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meglet Posted December 3, 2014 Share Posted December 3, 2014 Duke isn't my top choice, but it's high on the list. My project is about the role of dance in Arab identity and issues of imperialism and cultural appropriation. What about you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Munich Posted December 4, 2014 Author Share Posted December 4, 2014 Sounds great! My project is about how international representations of HIV/AIDS are navigated and challenged by people living with HIV. Specifically in South Africa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meglet Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 That sounds really cool. Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Munich Posted February 12, 2015 Author Share Posted February 12, 2015 Anyone heard anything yet? I'm dying! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tachiyaku Posted February 12, 2015 Share Posted February 12, 2015 There's 2 cultural anth acceptances on the results page from Jan 27, so I'm assuming that's it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tachiyaku Posted February 13, 2015 Share Posted February 13, 2015 A friend of mine also applying to Duke called the department and it seems we should expect decisions late February/early March. I'm now really confused about those two acceptances. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suavesana Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 I've already gotten my rejection... weeks ago! So don't lose faith if you haven't been told no yet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beaniebaby Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 Suavesana, I think most everyone else on this thread is social anth which has separate admissions. Just making sure you're bio/evo and I didn't miss a cultural acceptance or rejection anywhere... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mountainroad Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 Greetings. I didn't post it on the results page but I also received my notification of acceptance to Duke's cultural anthropology PhD program on January 27. I was contacted about doing a Skype interview on January 20 and did so a few days later. Good luck, your project sounds interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PJ200 Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 Hello everyone, I just received my notification of being waitlisted from Duke. In the email, it says there is a good chance of receiving admissions. Does anyone know when they usually send out notifications that one was removed from the waitlist?

In the email, it says there is a good chance of receiving admissions. Does anyone know when they usually send out notifications that one was removed from the waitlist? Are you Evolutionary or Cultural? I applied to Cultural and haven't heard anything, and I think we've determined that almost every other result posted is Evolutionary. If you're Evolutionary, I think you're waiting for one of those people to refuse the offer, which could be any time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been waiting for Duke results as well. One more week in February -____- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
parsa12345 Posted February 21, 2015 Share Posted February 21, 2015 Well I had an interview in January... I am cultural. I don't know really what expect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mountainroad Posted March 1, 2015 Share Posted March 1, 2015 Have any of the people who were waiting on notifications from Duke cultural anthropology heard anything yet? Apparently they received 160 applications for 5 fully funded spots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
F. Q. Posted April 1, 2023 Share Posted April 1, 2023 Anyone who got an offer from Duke would like to share when the deadline is to decide on taking the offer or not? On the waitlist and don’t know what to expect now… would really appreciate any information! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
