Received a very polite email from the admissions director. Beginning to lose hope and prep for the 2025 round... 8 applied, 4 rejections, 4 pending, but no interview.

GPA is master's. undergrad GPA is 3.83. aegean prehistory track. have 2 publications and 10 major national/international conferences, 3 years of field experience, currently lecturing in archaeology at a university. starting to think i'm just not good enough :/ 0a/3r/0w/0i/9p

After thousands of application fees, countless days of research, top recommendations, and publishing, I made it! Accepted through an uncountable sets of rejections. Letters mentioned through my applications that I'm not a clown, but the whole god damn circus.

PLEASE IGNORE THE STATUS: Has anyone received an update on the status of the decisions?

Undergrad GPA 2.76/4.0, Masters GPA 4.0/4.0, no research experience, lots of work and volunteer experience.

Army offer. Will be declining, I have other acceptances. Program has history of multiple SHARP and EO complaints. Received intel from senior student faculty are racist and some have been fired recently. Black and Hispanic students have left program in last 6 years which is extremely concerning. Their recent DEI cohorts make more sense now compared to previous years. STAY AWAY.

Funding to follow, email from DGS!
