Graduate School Admission Results

Accepted waiting on assistantship decisions

I interviewed back at the end of January. In early March, I received an email from the admin assistant/head of grad admissions that I would hear soon. Received a rejection via email today.

Waitlisted. If you're not going, please let them know -- this is my dream school.

DON'T BE A CASH PIG FOR NYU PHD STUDENTS--HAVE SOME RESPECT XOXO (: If a school can afford 9k chairs for their library, they can afford to give some funding to students for their MAs.... Dear XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX: On behalf of Dean Lynne Kiorpes and the Graduate School of Arts and Science, I am very pleased to tell you that you have been admitted to the Master of Arts program in Latin American and Caribbean Studies. You may register for the Fall 2025 semester. We appreciate your application to the Department of Anthropology. While the Department of Anthropology was not able to offer you admission, we very much hope you would consider pursuing a master's in Latin American and Caribbean Studies at NYU's Center for Latin American and Caribbean Studies (CLACS). After a special review of applications, yours was selected by CLACS due to your research interests and profile. We feel that you may be interested in the interdisciplinary master's program in the Center. An MA from CLACS is your next step in furthering a career related to Latin America or the Caribbean, and CLACS alumni have gone on to doctoral programs at NYU, Duke, Princeton, Yale, USC, and UT Austin, among a number of others. Our location in New York City, furthermore, gives you access to one of the most exciting and intellectually stimulating cities in the world. We regret to add that there are no fellowships or scholarships available to you through the Graduate School or your program. In the Other Resources section of the Admitted Student Resource Page (see link below), you will find information detailing other sources of funding. I encourage you to explore the many options available.

PLEASE IGNORE STATUS. I wonder if admission decisions are announced/ finalized for the Sociocultural track. Are there any news for PhD in Sociocultural Anthropology at NYU?

Had an interview and awaiting the results.

Domestic applicant. Very surprised

Got my college placement today (3/26) as well. Has anyone heard anything at all about funding or nominations?

domestic applicant. had a good relationship with my potential supervisor who said they were interested in my work and two great references + experience doing research in my field. not sure why i was rejected

It was a long shot. I was coming back after 17 years to apply for the MA Anthropology after my BSc Hons in Archaeological Science from U of T (2006). I hold a PGDip from the University of Edinburgh in another field (B+ GPA). Disappointed for sure. But I gave it my all. Now to decide whether to take some undergrad courses as a non-degree and try again...Or to move on...Sigh.
