Notes
I completed a bioarchaeology field school in Spain, had a biological anthropology internship at the Field Museum in Chicago, am the President of the Sociology + Anthro Club at my school, founded the first undergraduate humanities and social science academic journal at my school, have a 3.8 GPA in my anthropology classes, am a member of Lambda Alpha, and have glowing reviews from respected anthropologists. I am convinced that I was not accepted as I did not have a strong relationship with a professor at UT Knoxville. However, I spent months contacting professors via email + phone, and nobody ever gave me the time of day to meet and talk about my research. Therefore, for no fault of my own, I was unable to forge a meaningful relationship. Comment below if you think its ridiculous that I was rejected!!!
