Oh, that sounds really interesting! I bet there's some great funding, too, since it involves genetics work. My Mother keeps telling people I'm majoring in "graduate school and unemployment." Thanks!!! It's such a relief to get an answer for that.

Thanks! So just a letter written on the university letterhead and the typical sign-across-the-back protocol should be fine, then? A bit of a relief - that form is intimidating. Clashingtime - Awesome! I'm in biological anthro, and I'm hoping to concentrate on forensics and osteology. What about you?

I've tried contacting people in the anthropology department about this but I haven't heard back from anyone, and since I need to know soon I thought I'd ask here. Does the anthropology department ask that letters of recommendation be submitted on the university's general "Graduate Rating Form" or do they have their own form? Or do they prefer an actual letter, with no form? The university website noted that some departments have different policies, but the anthropology department's page didn't indicate one way or the other and I want to be sure. And on a side note, I think this whole application process will drive me insane. I'm so terrified I won't get in anywhere - I'm just ready for it to be over! Anyway - anyone know? I'd really appreciate it - thanks!
