responsibility Posted February 27, 2008 Share Posted February 27, 2008 Seems that anthropology is among the subjects which send out notifications fairly late. March is coming, so hope the offer rain will come as well! I think March 15th is the cut-off date for most unis to make decisions, is it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

penguin Posted February 27, 2008 Share Posted February 27, 2008 i also applied there and haven't heard back yet. I feel slightly more relieved with each person who says this...lol...granted, there's only been 3 of us that I've managed to find online so far, but hey! Let us know if you hear anything soon.

blakkbug Posted February 28, 2008 Share Posted February 28, 2008 Received my third rejection from Yale today. Well.....I have an inkling that all my apps will crumble this year...... :cry: I hear ya. I think I need to be coming up with a backup plan pretty soon. Other than moving in with my mommy and making a reality show about two generations of divorcees living under the same roof....

Other than moving in with my mommy and making a reality show about two generations of divorcees living under the same roof.... Why blakkbug? I'd totally watch that show. Then you could write an auto-ethnography of it and use that as your writing sample... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ha ha! Good to know that I'd have an audience! I got the official rejection letter from University of Arizona yesterday. Whatever. Maybe good news will be coming soon-for now I'm just trying to keep my head up and wait patiently to hear from the last three schools. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thundersaber1985 Posted February 29, 2008 Share Posted February 29, 2008 Congrats to whoever got in at CUNY, it is nice to know they are sending out notifications earlier than was posted for last year. Hopefully I hear from them soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grantgreen Posted March 2, 2008 Share Posted March 2, 2008 i'm also waiting to hear from cuny...at the end of the day, do you think that schools that notify early have an advantage over late schools, in terms of attracting students? obviously, this factor won't trump school reputation or money, that god of gods, but those things being equal, do you think it makes a difference? i got accepted from one school in january, and as a result i've now had six weeks of actually imagining myself going there--the possibility has grown greater with time. but as i check my email and this site day after day, i'm starting to get annoyed with the 2 schools i'm still waiting to hear from. i already knew cuny might be late, because there are several posts on this site from last year indicating that people were accepted in april. but april? given the 4/15 deadline, that doesn't seem all that considerate, in terms of giving people time to weigh their options. anyway, as i contemplate the increasingly warm and fuzzy feelings i'm having for the school that let me in, and contrast it with growing annoyance at the schools that seem to insist on crawling, not walking, through the application process, i'm wondering about the impact of notification date on applicant decisions. it seems to be having an affect in my case. any thoughts?

thundersaber1985 Posted March 3, 2008 Share Posted March 3, 2008 Well grantgreen, To answer your question I guess it doesn't matter if the notifications come earlier since I just heard a rejection today. I'm glad I heard one now instead of in april. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grantgreen Posted March 4, 2008 Share Posted March 4, 2008 the forum seems to be winding down. i guess most everyone has gotten their results and is moving on. me? four down, one to go. i'll turn out the lights when i go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firedrops Posted March 4, 2008 Share Posted March 4, 2008 I got into Boston University! My first response so I was excited. No decision on funding yet though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anthropolitan Posted March 4, 2008 Share Posted March 4, 2008 This process for me is by no means winding down! I have 2 questions for the board: 1)Has anyone heard formally from UNC? 2)With one exception, I've not received a solid funding offer with acceptances - either more information is forthcoming OR I've been waitlisted for $$. Any thoughts on whether this is normal in anthropology and/or whether there is merit to this probable funding? Also, any thoughts on going to a dream program without definite funding?

blueskies Posted March 4, 2008 Share Posted March 4, 2008 I am still waiting to hear from 6 schools... Cornell, UCLA, Stanford, UC Irvine, NYU, New School.

Has anyone heard anything about any of those? If you hadn't heard from NYU till last week, then the odds are you're 90% out. They've sent out interview invites and contacted those waitlisted applicants. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nervouswreck Posted March 5, 2008 Share Posted March 5, 2008 Congrats on everyone who heard good news from somewhere! Still no word. If this carries on for another few days, i'll be left without nails. MSU has already started giving out offers, but for physical anthro too?

blueskies Posted March 5, 2008 Share Posted March 5, 2008 UCLA Cultural. A few people on the main results page heard in early February that they were accepted. I am still waiting for Archaeology, but nothing yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
