They only interview people that they are interested in accepting, so you’re one step further to possibly being admitted Thank you for the positivity! Good luck with your applications!

Are you also applying to the joint medical anthro/MPH program @MedAnth2016? I haven’t received any email from Northwestern and have been panicking since the first interview post on the results site yesterday. ☹️
MedAnth2016 Posted January 16, 2018 Posted January 16, 2018 @Clarkdean yes! Exactly You read my mind!!
posi+ivity Posted January 16, 2018 Posted January 16, 2018 @MedAnth2016 Glad to hear that! So apparently the posters are in sociocultural… I wonder if medical anthro applicants are being dealt with separately. I'm so anxious because Northwestern is one of my top choices!
anthbug Posted January 16, 2018 Posted January 16, 2018 Those who interviewed at Brown, could you share your subfield please? Thank you!

I don't think it was a personalised email since i noticed that so far there are two interview results posted and both of them were completed on Jan 15th. BTW i am also a brown applicant. I am almost disheartened since I found myself get no interview information from the program. Tears.

It could just be one POI reaching out to his/her interested candidates. I'm seriously holding my breath for WUSTL, they typically send out interview invites around this week or next. Also, WHOA. There's already a PhD acceptance for this year! Holy smokes. The pressure is real. Edited January 16, 2018 by phyanth

Going by previous years too, Brown doesn't seem to have a staggered interview process. So yeah, it's safe for us to assume a rejection. Sucks. Edited January 16, 2018 by yzo

Brown may be one of my reaches since there is a professor whose research shares a great approximation with mine. Maybe it's time to do some school research in UK (pretend to be positive :h
waltzforzizi Posted January 18, 2018 Posted January 18, 2018 Anyone else apply to Berkeley or Stanford? Based on the results board, Berkekely seems to notify people around the end of January/Early Feb, but I don't know if the POI or GAO send out interview requests or some kind of communication.

Ah, okay. Many others have stated most incoming interviews or decisions have been social for the most part. The results board shows that as well. I guess we will wait together Good luck with your interview for UCI!
mif249 Posted January 18, 2018 Posted January 18, 2018 (edited) Looks like Yale has started to reach out for interviews for sociocultural. Congrats & good luck to those who were contacted! Edited January 18, 2018 by mif249 To add "good luck"
phyanth Posted January 19, 2018 Author Posted January 19, 2018 (edited) Congrats to the people who got an interview from Yale! Does anyone know if they send out a mass email for interview invites, or is it individual, by POI? Edited January 19, 2018 by phyanth Spelling yzo 1
Archaeodan Posted January 19, 2018 Posted January 19, 2018 Just got an email saying I am "high on the funding priority list" for Georgia Geography (archaeology prof)! Not exactly sure what that means, but I'm taking it as a good sign! phyanth, suavesana and Bschaefer 3

TheNewGuy Posted January 19, 2018 Posted January 19, 2018 (edited) Yeesh, is it just me or is the anxiety really starting to kick in now? Congratulations to the chosen few invited for interviews. Still waiting on my schools to pop up onto the scoreboard . . . Edited January 19, 2018 by AnthroPhDHopeful phyanth 1
phyanth Posted January 19, 2018 Author Posted January 19, 2018 @AnthroPhDHopeful the anxiety is real. Even though I've only seen sociocultural results so far, I'm still checking my e-mail and gradcafe multiple times a day D: Good luck! Hope you hear soon, this wait is mentally taxing. Also, I was looking at Yale interviews in previous years; do they only conduct interviews with sociocultural candidates, or do they interview for each subdiscipline?

I will be on vacation come mid-February, so I hope I hear SOMETHING from Berkeley by then whether it's a yay or nay.
suavesana Posted January 19, 2018 Posted January 19, 2018 Anyone know when Duke's evolutionary anth program will start rolling out interviews/anything? Can't really find a consistent timeline anywhere. Hopefully soon either way
waltzforzizi Posted January 22, 2018 Posted January 22, 2018 Congrats to the Socio Berkeley person! Hopefully, this means they'll be sending more invites or information on not being accepted.

Archaeodan Posted January 22, 2018 Posted January 22, 2018 Just had an interview...I think it went well? Maybe? I hope I didn't come off as having weak ideas and as not being able to talk about my research, cause I feel like that's how I sounded...but they seemed to like me well enough? sierra918 1
