I have publications, 2 masters, and years of research experience. I guess nobody was interested in my topic. Good luck to the other applicants and congrats to those who were accepted!

This year they had "particularly strong applicants" so they rejected me

I've already confirmed my attendance elsewhere so not too worked up over this.

Standard rejection letter. "Only allowed to admit so many prospects and many applicants this year."

Checked the website; fully admitted!

So excited!

If you have been accepted and know already you won't go, please notify it! This is my top choice and I really want to have the opportunity to do my PhD here. Also, the person who was accepted already and talked with a faculty, what area of anthropology was it? Do you mind sharing the research interests?

Rejected, no email notification. I just happened to the check website. Very generic letter stating that I was denied.

On the phone with POI last week, a good match to his research area

Email to check website. Bummer, but probably not the best fit for me. Independent research it is.

Not surprised. Found out during my break at work. It's devastating, but it is what is. Oh well, no use in crying. Congratulations to those who made it in! 😊 Best of luck!!

To poster below: I agree, they're especially slow this year, it seems. In any event, I'm sending positive vibes your way for this application season!

So excited! Applied last year and didn't make it. Mediocre GRE scores, autopsy tech experience, BS in anthro from UCLA, and a forensic anthropology field school.

Has anyone applying to the archaeology track been contacted yet by the department?

So what if I haven't received a rejection or any type of notice yet? Are they sending these rejections in waves?
