  1. @SMerrells You should go on Drunk History and talk about Marcus Crassus ;p That would be fun!
  2. @SMerrells How is it that you're always in Italy about a month after I leave? Haha :p Have fun ;)
  3. RT @OptimoPrincipi: Thraex gladiator named Lytras being separated from his opponent by the referee Dareos, House of Gladiators, Kourion htt…
  4. Thanks =) I am particularly interested in Kent and Leicester because they have scholars who specialize in social history and archaeology in the Roman world. I have sent you a PM, and I may have more questions later, haha.
  5. Has anyone applied and been accepted into UK schools for graduate studies? If so, what is different when applying to UK vs US schools? I am particularly interested in going for Classical Archaeology - Kent and Leicester are the ones I am interested in.
  6. Hello! I am applying to grad school programs this coming academic year and was wondering if anyone had any advice for applying to the following programs: Kent, Leicester, Brandeis, U Alberta, and McMaster. I would like to start preparing personal statements and my writing sample early! Thanks =]
  7. University of Alberta is one of the schools I plan on applying to next year - was it hard to get in? I'd say go there - it's much cheaper!
  8. Does anyone know anything about Brandeis University? I am really interested in working with one of the archaeologists there, and I like that it is a research program. I am curious about assistantships, the difference between applying to a research program vs. course-based (pros and cons), what to expect when applying to research program vs. a course-based one - things of that nature. Also, if I get into an MA program that does not require the GRE, will I still have to take the GRE if I come back to the United States for my PhD?
  9. Yeah at Boulder I am most interested in Dr. Conlin's work on the Villa of Maxentius but I am trying to find out if they are stronger in Greek or Roman archaeology, as I am more interested in Roman.
  10. That does make me feel a little better - I do have 3 more semesters of Latin so hopefully they will overpower the C on my transcript. I do have some Greek as well! I just want to have a working knowledge of both of the languages so I can read inscriptions. The programs I'm thinking about are FSU, University Colorado (Boulder), University of Alberta, Kent, and Edinburgh. Has anyone here applied or know people who have applied and been accepted into any of these programs?
  11. Hello, I'm a classics major and an archaeology minor, and I'm planning on applying to MA programs in classical archaeology next fall. I'm concerned because I recently received a "C" as a final grade in Latin 201. I have gotten all A's and A-'s in classics, history and archaeology courses (except for a B in Middle-Eastern Archaeology and a B+ in Latin 102 but it had been an A- most of the semester!), and I certainly haven't gotten any C's except for in a few gen ed classes. The Latin 201 professor didn't have our class very organized and even the Latin tutor got some C's in this class. We never knew what to expect on our tests and it was a nightmare. I am really worried about this one class hurting my chances of getting into the programs I'm interested in! In addition to the rest of my good grades in classics courses I have presented research papers at undergraduate conferences and am planning on doing a field school this year, which I am also going to do a project on. I've also done a couple of independent studies. I have three more semesters in Latin and I am going to do well in them, but will that one "C" really hurt my chances of getting into the programs I'm interested in? I am really looking for peace of mind.
