Fingers crossed! Let's keep each other updated. 🙂 I am currently under the department review, don't know how long this phase will last, but I feel like we won't know anything until after New Year's..

I know right! The wait is hard but most applicants will hear back at that time. Early change in status is not good news usually
Hi all! I’m an international applicant who applied on December 3rd right before the Gates deadline. I checked last year’s thread for this degree and it seems they sent out the initial rejections around this time last year and the offers were sent out later in February. Let’s keep each other updated :smile:

I’m on department review as well, I think we’ll either see decision pending or get a rejection within the next 2 weeks maybe 🙂 I’ve heard of people getting updates after emailing, so it might be worth a shot. If you do try it let us know how it goes and if you hear anything back!

It does make me feel a bit better that there are othe people in the same situation, both for SocAnthro and other courses. I think I'll see if anything happens next week, if not, I'll email the department and let you know their response.

Here’s last year’s thread for reference, I tried looking for 2023 but couldn’t find it. Judging by this timeline us still being on department review is a good sign 🙂 those who didn't get rejections by the end of January got offers. Not sure how consistent the department is year to year through.
On the course website it states that they use “gathered field” assessment and there should have been a session in January, so we should probably hear back really soon.
Any updates on application or funding?

Looks like they're taking their sweet time! I also wonder when we will hear anything about funding soon -- looks like some other departments have heard back already!
Anyone heard anything? I'm still on DP
