Didn't see any rejections posted at the time I received this email so I really got my hopes up for a good 60 seconds. This one hurt.

Called for an interview yesterday; they asked to interview me via Skype in 1 hour. (!!!!) Interview was fairly standard: they asked about my project, where I planned to do fieldwork, why I chose anthropology, which theorists I’ve been engaging with. They said decisions go out next week.
