Applied for the sociocultural program. I have a Bachelor's degree and a Master's degree in applied social science disciplines; 3.6 GPA in both degrees. 18 months of ethnographic research experience and 8+ years international work experience in my geographic area of interest. I was never asked to interview, so I was not very hopeful about getting an admit. I received an email to check the portal and I found a polite, generic rejection letter from the department chair.

To poster below, I had the interview. I haven't heard anything, even though the prof who interviewed me told me I'd hopefully hear by late Jan.

To the poster below about being wait list at Brandies Anthropology, which track have you applied for?

Unofficial email from POI

Does anyone know if all shortlisted candidates for sociocultural anthropology have received an interview call? Or is there a chance to still receive an interview call?

Got unofficial confirmation from POI

POI gave me a heads up over email before official decisions are released by DGS next week. My first acceptance and one of my top choices. Good luck to everyone! :)
