Especially for the places that have their graduate school review AFTER the department has forwarded them their choices. Somehow calling the graduate school feels less intrusive than calling the department... Where are you waiting to hear from?

I've seen a few results posted here but wonder if someone caught word of an actual number from the dept. I'm aware of two, but generally they accept 8 total, usually 1-2 in arch.

Indiana_Bones Posted February 22, 2018 Posted February 22, 2018 @AnthroChick21 South Carolina and UGA. Not holding out hope for the latter since their funding is so bad this year and I'm not a perfect match for the department, but I'm super anxious about SC.
MandarinOtter Posted February 22, 2018 Posted February 22, 2018 Any word on what's going on with UC Santa Cruz? They seem to be trickling out admissions and rejections over the last few days, but I haven't heard anything?
Patina Posted February 23, 2018 Posted February 23, 2018 Hi I was the person who posted the utk phd acceptance. Got an email with an attached letter from the department signed by my POI and an additional email from my POI letting me know informally. I applied for archaeology. Hang in there everyone, I got lots of rejections and one waitlist this month so I totally feel you on the anxiety. (I didn’t let myself come on gradcafe until I heard back from UTK yesterday.) phyanth, hats, AnthroChick21 and 1 other 4

Mitchell1 Posted February 23, 2018 Posted February 23, 2018 When you go on a campus visit, what are the most important questions to ask so you get the full picture? What do you ask graduate students vs. professors? One of the schools I applied to wants to fly me out, but I don’t want to seem like an idiot when I go, and I want to make sure I fully understand what being a grad student there will be like

1410704 Posted February 23, 2018 Posted February 23, 2018 Has anyone applied for Canadian PhD programmes? I have applied for Psychology PhD at McGill, Concordia, and University of Toronto, but haven't heard back from any of them yet.

Choas Posted February 23, 2018 Posted February 23, 2018 I got an email at 6pm, yesterday, so keep your eyes open. UGA got back to me with an acceptance to the program, but I got waitlisted for a TA position. Mixed feelings on that, but overall better than not having heard much before.

They're both on my list for potential PhD programs too! I'll be doing my applications for PhD next year.
scarseed Posted February 25, 2018 Posted February 25, 2018 Anybody know anything about the state of JHU? I saw two interviews posted around 2/14 and one acceptance yesterday. Assuming rejection but curious if anyone has any greater sense or details.

Has anyone heard anything from Michigan State? @phyanth So a friend and I applied for Fall of 18 Bio, went to AAFS this past week. My friend asked POI and was told they were waitlisted. I did not discuss application status with POI, grad portal says applications still under review.
phyanth Posted February 26, 2018 Author Posted February 26, 2018 @cebertxela, thank you! So do you think they’ve even notified any people yet? I haven’t seen any change in my portal either. Hoping the committee is running late and maybe they’re sending acceptances this week
