Had a person on the inside who saw the list and I wasn't on it. They had 7 people to interview and a few other for Skype interview. Good luck everyone!

Finalist interview

e-mailed asking for an update, found out i was invited for an interview

Notified on the beaspartan.com portal. I did not receive an email notification, so I would take a look on the website! Undergrad at University of Pennsylvania, 4+ years experience in museum and skeletal analysis, internship and contract at Smithsonian.

Finalist

Email from DGS. 10 people were selected for interviews out of ~60 applicants. Best of luck to everyone else applying!

Skype interview with three professors followed by a promising email with potential PI.

Accepted with fellowship via email. Official letter to come via post.

The Anthropology department is very warm and helpful and my dissertation supervisor is great. I am very excited and thankful.

Contacted Dr. Warren and he informed me that he is not accepting students for the Forensic Anthropology program for Fall 2017 due to his upcoming retirement.

Was given the typical generic rejection letter. Dr. Schnell was very unprofessional and would not provide any insight into how a decision was made.

Awarded a full tuition waiver. Still not sure whether to attend or not, since I still need to figure out how to cover other expenses

This school was the only one I applied to, so excited to be admitted!
