Mofanthrooo Posted February 9, 2018 Posted February 9, 2018 Do you think it would be a bad idea to send an email to Stanford graduate program director and ask for timeline for decision? I also wanna know if they handle sociocultural and archaeology separately or if they (did/will) interview archaeology applicants. I don't think she will give a clear answer, but I just can't stand this soul-crushing process...
yzo Posted February 9, 2018 Posted February 9, 2018 Unlikely you'll receive a helpful response, but no harm giving it a shot.

My guess is that they (the graduate coordinators) are probably already swarmed by the large amounts of email flooding in (prolly all asking about decision outcomes, setting of interviews etc) to even reply. But you can try too, and keep the rest of us here posted!

The grad cord person actually responded to me twice during the app process. She is quite nice. I am not dying to hear from Stanford because I feel it's a no, but yeah.

phyanth Posted February 9, 2018 Author Posted February 9, 2018 FYI to those who applied to UT-Knoxville: I talked with someone in the Anth dept, who let me know that they are finalizing decisions today and will be notifying everyone next week. This is going to be a very long weekend...

This is going to be a very long weekend... Hang in there! I did not apply to UT-Knoxville but I'm also currently still waiting on 7 decisions; feels like forever. And of them include Yale, Berkeley, Harvard - schools that I had not receive interview requests for (and which I'm taking an absence of interview to imply an implicit rejection), and so far, a first rejection from Princeton. Honestly I hope they release their decisions soon! Be they rejections or whatnots. Apologies for the ranting whoops! But still, all the best, the weekend will whizz pass in the blink of an eye! There are some good movies out now, go catch em if you haven't! phyanth 1

Indiana_Bones Posted February 10, 2018 Posted February 10, 2018 @phyanth Thank you! I'm still in absolute shock. I don't think it'll truly sink in for a while...
jackofclubs Posted February 10, 2018 Posted February 10, 2018 Saw someone got into William and Mary!!! Congrats. Does this mean if I haven't gotten an email to expect bad news?

I'm a little confused an worried I'm applying for the cultural side of the house as well and got the same email (with a follow-up the clarified no interviews). Unless this is an undergrad that they had told were a shoe-in or a similar situation, I would imagine there are still plenty of packets to review.

I actually do medical anthro, but I got in as sociocultural because my POI is with the sociocultural faculty and I don't do psychological anthropology. My POI called me today to let me know. This is my first acceptance so far and I am soooooooooo relieved!!! *exhales* phyanth, suavesana, Ben Merrill and 1 other 4
