Did you check the application website for Uconn yet? That is where my acceptance letter was.

Found out earlier this week that I was accepted into UCONN's Old World Archaeology PhD program with full funding, was asked to be discreet about it until the official notices went out today. I guess dreams do come true! It is nice to finally be able to relax and not stress over this anymore. I wish the best of luck to everyone else!

It appears I have discovered this website a little late in the application game, but I thought that I would join in the fun anyway. I am interested in European Paleolithic studies, neanderthal behavior, land use, and lithic analysis. All of my fieldwork has been in the US (mostly New Mexico and Colorado) and includes CRM work for the BLM. Out of the schools that I applied to (listed in my signature) I have heard back from 2. I was flown out for an interview at UMN, but did not make the cut (out of 15 interviewees 7 were chosen). I received an offer from CU Boulder (one of my safety schools) that included a fairly substantial fellowship. I am really hopeful for UCONN as my POI has kept me updated regularly about the decision process. Good luck to you all.
