Just found this thread. Berkeley is my biggest reach/best fit also, and if cost of living weren't so high it would be my pie-in-the-sky first choice. For reference, I applied to the medical anthro program to work with Nancy Scheper-Hughes, Paul Rabinow, or Lawrence Cohen. Probably should have gone with primary work at UCSF and mentioned Vincanne Adams in my app, but had a major lapse in common sense because it was a last-minute scramble to get that one in. Ah, well...nothing to do now but keep waiting...
