Hello all! Haven't read through all of your posts yet, but thought I'd add my info for now...
Applying to several programs:
PhD Anthropology @ Brown University
PhD Anthropology (Physical) @ U Illinois Urbana-Champaign
PhD Anthropology (Physical/BioArch) @ Washington University in St. Louis
M.A. Anthropology @ Northern Illinois University
M.A. Linguistics @ Northeastern University
From what I gather, it's PhD programs are a total crapshoot. I've got fairly competitive GPA/GRE scores, quite a bit of research experience and an internship at the Field Museum (Chicago) under my belt.
