keepcalm Posted February 22, 2008 Share Posted February 22, 2008 No Florida for me. Oh, well. I still have a lovely offer and two outstanding. And frankly, I didn't really want to live in Gainesville anyway. Yeah, Florida is lame. I would pick Chapel Hill over Florida anyday! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

notyourmama Posted February 22, 2008 Share Posted February 22, 2008 It's raining results today, over here. I'm in a Tulane: 3 year fellowship, health insurance, tuition. It's my first choice, and I'm BY GOD TAKING THIS ONE. It's a freaking miracle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess all the worry and waiting is over for you now you can sit back and relax! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blueskies Posted February 22, 2008 Share Posted February 22, 2008 Rejected by Cornell Archy. It's OK. I got promoted at work, so if nothing turns up I have a job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blueskies, did Cornell notify you via email or a normal mail? I haven't heard back from them ever since. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blueskies Posted February 23, 2008 Share Posted February 23, 2008 Blueskies, did Cornell notify you via email or a normal mail? I haven't heard back from them ever since. By postal service. Same old 'we had many qualified applicants, you were not among the accepted.' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blueskies Posted February 23, 2008 Share Posted February 23, 2008 So nobody has heard from archaeology at UCLA yet? I'm not too hopeful, but they do accept on average 19% of their applicants, compared to 11% for Anthro. I hate waiting. Just one school let me in!

blakkbug Posted February 23, 2008 Share Posted February 23, 2008 I'm cultural, finishing up a masters here at LSU and waiting to hear back too. I heard that Tulane already made their decisions but no word from them as of yet. I also heard Berkeley already picked and it was brutal. One of my good friends had two professors fighting for her and she didn't get in, but they called her to let her know what was going on. Apparently they had 5 spots, the chair claimed 3 of them leaving 2 for the rest of the profs to fight over. Tenure won out (as usual) so if you were in contact with the chair or a prof that had been there forever you might be in. But I wasn't so I'm not even considering them anymore. I applied to Chicago too so I'm a little worried since people are already hearing back. I just want to know where I'm going to be living in 6 months!! :roll: Hey Firedrops aka next door office buddy!

keepcalm Posted February 25, 2008 Share Posted February 25, 2008 Yay! It's Monday! Business and mail resume! (It's sad how excited the grad school application process has made me about Mondays . . . scary really) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blueskies Posted February 25, 2008 Share Posted February 25, 2008 This is from the waiting it out folder, where I posted. But this gives archy news and a question: OK. Time to judge a communication. I spoke with the graduate secretary today (should I have called the chair?) at UCLA for archaeology. First I asked about transcripts, and she said it was her mistake and then blah blah. So then I asked when we should be hearing. She said some interviews were scheduled and if I was among the accepted I should hear this week by email and if not she is "sorry." She said the last part like in a sad voice. Is this bad? Do you think she knows? I am so scared now! This was my top choice along with Stony. Ack!

responsibility Posted February 25, 2008 Share Posted February 25, 2008 Has anybody received an email from Berkeley? I know offers have been made and some rejection emails have been sent, but at least I deserve a notification. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It doesn't really sound to me like she knows, that seems like something she would tell everyone. Either way it sounds like you'll know by the end of the week. Good luck!

blakkbug Posted February 26, 2008 Share Posted February 26, 2008 Not into Arizona. Boo. Hopefully one of my other four choices will take me. I'd go anywhere I get an acceptance at this point! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blakkbug Posted February 26, 2008 Share Posted February 26, 2008 How did you check your status at Arizona? I logged in to the Graduate School application and there was a notice that the department hadn't recommended me...no email, no letter yet, just the posting on the application website.

So, I think if you go to the Graduate College website and log in where you originally submitted your online application (not the department-specific application), you should be able to look at your active applications (on the left-hand side). That's how I found it, and as soon as I was into that section there was a message regretting to inform me that I was not recommended for admission. Nor was I accepted into the IDPAS program at Stony Brook, as I found out via good old fashioned mail today. My balloons keep popping! Wasn't too keen on living on LI for the next 4 years, though, but that eases the pain only slightly... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
penguin Posted February 27, 2008 Share Posted February 27, 2008 Has anyone here applied to UC Irvine Anthro? Any news yet??? Yes, I applied and it's my first choice...I haven't heard anything yet. :\ I'm kind of worried, but I don't know if I should be because I haven't heard anything about people getting notified yet! Have you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm just waiting for UA to reject me, though not in anthro. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keepcalm Posted February 27, 2008 Share Posted February 27, 2008 Ugh. So I dropped my phone in a puddle today and now it's not working. So of course I'm freaking out because what if a school calls!? (yeah right) Oh well, hopefully I can get a new/working phone tomorrow! I really hope that I hear from some more schools soon! The stress of waiting is frying my brain!
