MJF Posted February 26, 2018 Share Posted February 26, 2018 Any one else hoping this will be the day (or at least week) for UT Knoxville to send out decisions for biological applicants? I've convinced myself that if I believe with all my heart it will happen today AnthroChick21, posi+ivity and phyanth 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Including one where I wrote in my SOP that I wanted to combine anthropology of genocide with cozy mysteries...

Usually they involve getting rejected (way less creative than yours). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phyanth Posted February 26, 2018 Author Share Posted February 26, 2018 @MJF and @AnthroChick21, as much as I want to have hope, I'm not holding my breath. I feel like they released all of the results last week with the other acceptances. Does anyone know for sure that they haven't sent out results for biological anth?

I don’t know with 100% certainly, but it doesn’t seem like they have. Anyone want to take one for the team and send an email or make a phone call?

I haven’t seen any change in my portal either. Hoping the committee is running late and maybe they’re sending acceptances this week @phyanthAs far as I can tell, they have not notified anyone. I did hear there may be some issues with funding, but those are just are just rumors. I know that has been the case for other programs.

It just seems like with all the applicants they get that someone would have posted that they got accepted into the biological program. The acceptances so far (that were posted) were for archaeology.

Well, I'm sure that things have been chaotic with all of the administrative changes due to the Nassar incident. So that may have slowed things down too.

phyanth Posted February 26, 2018 Author Share Posted February 26, 2018 @MJF and @AnthroChick21, I tried calling at 12:10 ish and just now, no response.

I saw two interviews posted around 2/14 and one acceptance yesterday. Assuming rejection but curious if anyone has any greater sense or details. I'm also curious about this. I don't want to assume rejection but I mean....it's been awhile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To everybody that has gotten rejections first, hang in there! My concentration at UTK is archaeology, so those of you bio people that haven't heard don't get discouraged!

waltzforzizi Posted February 27, 2018 Share Posted February 27, 2018 I am waiting on UMass Amherst. Anyone else aside from @Bschaefer apply there? My application status is still applied. I am pretty set on Berkeley, but I still wanna know. Does anyone else get paranoid whenever you send an email to your POI or send long ass replies?? I am always anxious although my POI is amazing and explains things thoroughly. I don't know...always feel like a nuisance TT... I get even more anxious when they don't reply as fast as usual or take longer than a day sometimes lmao. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phyanth Posted February 27, 2018 Author Share Posted February 27, 2018 @AnthroChick21, I feel your pain. I actually only work for two hours today and have the rest of the day off, so it’s going to be a looong wait. Fingers crossed we at least hear something this week! I feel like this is the latest they’ve run, at least according to the results! AnthroChick21 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
