GreenEyedTrombonist Posted February 21, 2017 Posted February 21, 2017 @Konstantine Yeah, it looks like last year they came mostly in mid-March, so I'm trying not to be too stressed about it until then. Still want to know. x]
museum_geek Posted February 21, 2017 Posted February 21, 2017 @AnthropologyNRT Congrats, you have some great options! How was the finalists weekend at Rice? I'm going to a similar event this weekend at one of my top choices - I'm one of about a dozen people visiting campus for a couple days to interview/meet dept members/tour campus/etc. Any advice? Whatever you're doing seems to be successful!
suavesana Posted February 21, 2017 Posted February 21, 2017 I'm assuming this means waitlist, but I just checked Boulder's portal and have the following message: A decision on your application has been postponed. You will be contacted with details.

They each have their own sense of community and they want to know that you will be comfortable there for the next 6 or 7 years . Good luck on your visit! Just enjoy yourself museum_geek 1

EvelynD Posted February 21, 2017 Posted February 21, 2017 I got my last rejection letter in the mail today, from Toronto. I'm officially rejected this cycle. Urg. Hopefully I'll do better next year.

DancinFool Posted February 21, 2017 Posted February 21, 2017 Someone on the results page said that erroneous Berkeley rejections have been sent out. Anyone want to claim this and elaborate? Sounds too good to be true.

I was rejected from Berkeley last week as well and it seemed like a pretty clear and solid no to me, which I was expecting. They also had done interviews and accepted a few people some time ago so I feel like that's a pretty weak rumor. Additionally, they rejected a lot of people over the past week or two so I doubt that was a mistake.

homogenius Posted February 21, 2017 Posted February 21, 2017 Anyone want to claim that WUSTL acceptance? I'm waiting to hear from my POI and was just wondering how you found out?

Mugi Mila Posted February 22, 2017 Posted February 22, 2017 (edited) So I checked and some people were already accepted into Binghamton and Boston University. But it is for the PhD program. Is there a difference in waiting to hear for the school's respective master program? I'm curious to know. Oh and I forgot to say this! Congrats to everyone who was accepted!!!! Give yourselves a pat on the back!!!! ? Edited February 22, 2017 by Mugi Mila

terraaurea Posted February 22, 2017 Posted February 22, 2017 Hey everyone! I'm attending a prospective student weekend at the University of Cincinnati this weekend, and I was wondering if any of you have good interview/first impression advice? Any questions you can think of that they may commonly ask about? Anything you shouldn't do/should avoid doing? Thanks, and best of luck to everyone still!
W.Churchill Posted February 23, 2017 Posted February 23, 2017 Is the results page down for anyone else? Also, has anyone heard from UPenn, or know when their decisions will be coming out?
museum_geek Posted February 23, 2017 Posted February 23, 2017 Yeah, the results page has been down for most of the day

Mugi Mila Posted February 23, 2017 Posted February 23, 2017 So I got accepted into SUNY Binghamton, into their Anthropology Master program. I really did not expect this. But I am happy. Currently waiting for my other schools to respond. I have to call my program's graduate director in order to inquire about funding.

Expand I still haven't heard back from them - with multiple acceptances and rejections posted I'm guessing I probably got waitlisted but I'm not going to contact them just yet. No clue about funding, but my fingers are crossed that you find some!
