Perhaps. I'm much more of an archaeologist than a philologist, so need to sharpen up on Linear B...I'm interested in politics and ideology in the Late Bronze Age.
You're right - applied to Texas, Cincinnati because of their strengths in that. Also applied to AAMW at Penn and AHMA at Berkeley and the Joukowsky Institute at Brown, although complete lack of fieldwork rather knocks me out for those...I got Cornell and Michigan on the list as well, Toronto and Columbia. I doubt anywhere will be interested, although I may have a chance at Toronto as they apparently have a bias in favour of Canadians, and I guess that dual nationality has to come in handy somewhere.
I just hope my marks (particularly the fact that at both Ox and Cam only the final year matters) comes across!
We'll see, but expecting straight rejections. I have Oxford Cambridge Sheffield and Nottingham to consider over this side however...
