Didn't receive an interview invite, so knew this was coming. Oh well!

At least not a straight rejection..? Generic email from the Director, which also suggested that acceptances have been sent out as well (or at least finalized).

To the cornell posters below: when were you all notified? Do you know if the rejections are sent in batches/phases? Still waiting for one!

3 of 4 rejections so far for me. Not feeling too good..

email from the program's director. A little bit sad as I doubt anyone will turn down an offer from UMich.

Curious if anyone has any info on when Anthro decisions will go out!

Eh, c'est la vie. Seriously, though, 4 accepted out of 178....congrats to those admitted!

From the email: "We received 178 applications this year for 4 positions. Unfortunately, we are not able to offer doctoral fellowships to many strong applicants." "Because of the size of the pool of applicants, we do not provide individual feedback to those who are not admitted to the program. I can say however that we use a comprehensive and careful admissions process to make the difficult decision about whom to admit. The admissions committee met to evaluate your candidacy several times and consulted with three to four additional specialists in your field, wherever relevant. We sought candidates with outstanding prior academic records, strong letters of recommendation, ambitious and effective writing samples, and (crucially) statements of purpose compatible with the scholarly and institutional resources at Cornell. In each case, we had to weigh both demonstrated excellence and the fit with our faculty's expertise. As always, such judgments are complex, comparative, and partial; they cannot fully capture any individual applicant's ultimate potential. "

178 applications for 4 spots. Gross.

Via portal: In view of the large number of well-qualified applicants and the limited number of spaces available, the admissions committee must be selective in making its recommendations. The selection process is one of identifying those applicants who are best qualified for a specific graduate program, based upon a review of each applicant's file and number of openings in the graduate programs in that field. Your academic preparation and scholarship, letters of recommendation, expressed interests and objectives, and other supporting materials in your file have all been taken into consideration during the committee's review process.

met with potential advisors before applying, had good LORs

for those who received rejections, is this reflected in your UChicago Account? I'm fully expecting a rejection, but my status still says "submitted."

Rejected but offered spot in the MAPSS program.... jokes on them though I decided like two days after submitting the application that I didn't want to go there LOL

No interviews. Email from graduate advisor with faculty advisors cc'd.

To the poster below, did you get an unofficial email from your POI saying you were accepted? Or was it an official offer sent from the university?
