pangmao Posted February 18, 2010 Posted February 18, 2010 I'm giving it until Friday and then I'm going to consider it dead to me. Is it the consensus that all cultural anthropology acceptances for Berkeley have already been sent? There haven't been too many reported.
pizzaparty Posted February 18, 2010 Posted February 18, 2010 What about American University? SOmeone posted a rejection but has anyone heard anything from them otherwise??
applyingwaitingstressing Posted February 18, 2010 Posted February 18, 2010 anyone have insight into when some of the other "big" programs are going to be sending out info?
littlepeach09 Posted February 18, 2010 Posted February 18, 2010 Is it the consensus that all cultural anthropology acceptances for Berkeley have already been sent? There haven't been too many reported. I think it would be a good idea for you to call the office - the Grad Advisor is really nice and told me my status (not good news, but it was ok!). I'm not too sure that they've sent out all of their acceptance emails ... He told me that they'd only accepted 12 out of 335 applicants, so that probably explains why you've only seen a few posts.

He did not tell me I was rejected... could this mean anything good?
gonenative Posted February 18, 2010 Posted February 18, 2010 I was going to call him today...but reading that, maybe better to wait. Was cautiously optimistic (I did get 800V/6A on the GRE), but I've kinda warmed to California Institute of Integral Studies now, anyhow...
littlepeach09 Posted February 18, 2010 Posted February 18, 2010 (edited) I was going to call him today...but reading that, maybe better to wait. Was cautiously optimistic (I did get 800V/6A on the GRE), but I've kinda warmed to California Institute of Integral Studies now, anyhow... I'd definitely recommend calling ahead, if you want to end the waiting game. I just asked about my application status, and he looked it up there and then. This was two days ago. Also, he was really nice and understanding, didn't sound impatient or put out at all. ... good luck!! Edited February 18, 2010 by littlepeach09
boxboss Posted February 18, 2010 Posted February 18, 2010 Does anyone know if I got into the programs to which I applied? Also: does anyone know if I'll be receiving funding? Lastly, I'm wondering if I'll be getting tenure in 15-20 years. Anyone hear anything? Thanks in advance. medanthrograd and goukaku suru you ni 2
Ibn Anthropology Posted February 18, 2010 Posted February 18, 2010 I think if you haven't heard from Berkeley yet, you can pretty much cross it out from your list. If you want to be sure, just call or email Ned. I emailed him and he immediately told me that I didnt make it (: One less school to worry about for me. He said that they are at the "absolute end of the decision process" and that we will get a short automated email from the grad office soon.

Also to the Chicago submitter who wrote "*chuckle* the short list isn't so short," I love you too. Humor is about the only way not to go insane in this process and I thank you both for making me laugh (assuming you're not the same individual).
lordcromer Posted February 18, 2010 Posted February 18, 2010 humorlessly: any news from princeton, harvard, or yale? Sheesh.
applyingwaitingstressing Posted February 19, 2010 Posted February 19, 2010 harvard will "send its decisions (BY MAIL) sometime between now and mid-march"... great... humorlessly: any news from princeton, harvard, or yale? Sheesh.

a fragrant plant Posted February 19, 2010 Posted February 19, 2010 harvard will "send its decisions (BY MAIL) sometime between now and mid-march"... great... by mail? are we applying grad school in 1910?
vanishingpoint Posted February 19, 2010 Posted February 19, 2010 by mail? are we applying grad school in 1910? Drip. Drip. What's that? Oh, it's just the sound of Alfred Kroeber filling up his inkwell.
littlepeach09 Posted February 19, 2010 Posted February 19, 2010 Does anyone know if UVirginia has made all of its decisions yet?
denim_pocket Posted February 19, 2010 Posted February 19, 2010 Has anyone heard from Michigan yet for sociocultural anthro? I saw acceptances for history/anthropology and archaeology, and an informal rejection from a POI. Anyone else?
applyingwaitingstressing Posted February 19, 2010 Posted February 19, 2010 ha. i was just about to post this. eerie. well i called last week and they said "end of the month." which is far too ambiguous.

applyingwaitingstressing Posted February 19, 2010 Posted February 19, 2010 err i retract that statement. apparently not til mid march now? ugh. ha. i was just about to post this. eerie. well i called last week and they said "end of the month." which is far too ambiguous.
thomasjnh Posted February 20, 2010 Posted February 20, 2010 Has anyone heard from Michigan yet for sociocultural anthro? I saw acceptances for history/anthropology and archaeology, and an informal rejection from a POI. Anyone else? I was the informal rejection and I had applied for socio-cultural, but I have no idea where they are in the official notifying process. I applied to two depts at UMich, got into one (Asian Lang & Culture), and my potential advisor in AL&C said the anthro department had finalized decisions and I didn't get in. Unfortunately he didn't say anything else about anthro's time frame so I can't shed much light on it for anyone else. Best of luck to all though, I hope folks hear soon!
applyingwaitingstressing Posted February 20, 2010 Posted February 20, 2010 hmm talked to the grad coordinator today and she said another 3-4 weeks before decisions are made... mysteries...

Could be, I'm just relating what one faculty member told me. For the sake of everyone waiting I hope it's not another 3-4 weeks.
