Invited to second round on campus interview via personal email from POI

Answering the question re: Yale. I am a combined anth&FES student, and the timeline depends on which of the programs you applied to primarily. I applied thru anthro (and stated I wanted to be considered for FES as well) and was interviewed by anthro. But the moment I got into anthro, it pretty much guaranteed FES would take me too since anthro is the one funding me. Conversely, if you applied thru FES for the combined program, you'd be vetted by FES, but I have no idea whether they've started interviewing people. There is no difference between being an intl vs domestic applicant for the private institutions. (I am international and this has no bearing whatsoever.)

Email from POI asking for clarification of something I wrote in my letter of intent

To the international students who posted that they received interview invites from their POIs, congrats! Mind sharing your backgrounds?

Received an e-mail from a professor scheduling a Skype interview as part of the admissions process.

To the Yale student below: Thanks for the update. How about joint programs, i.e., Anthropology and F&ES, and Anthropology and African American studies? Aren't they separate and if so, have they begun their review processes yet? Thank you!!

Positive interviews with two POIs

For those who applied to Yale: I'm a current student there and can confirm that only the sociocultural and linguistic interviews have been made. If you haven't received an interview request by now, that most likely means you won't be getting in. The archaeology and bio subfields have their own admissions committee, and haven't really begun to look at applications, so they're on a completely different schedule.
