  1. I'm currently looking into doctoral programs in physical anthropology. The majority of the programs I'm considering are in Canada; I am a low-income woman from the US who already holds a master's degree in physical anthropology. Are there any general (larger) scholarships for Americans planning to do their doctorate in Canada that would apply to my situation?
  2. Has anyone heard back from University of Bradford in the UK on masters programs? I applied for their MSc in Human Osteology and Paleopathology and have not heard back in over 2 months. I emailed their director of admissions and have yet to hear back from them as well. I don't want to be pushy on the matter, but I've been accepted to another school and am just waiting on Bradford to make my decision. :/
  3. I am applying for a summer internship and am providing my CV with the application. I was accepted to a masters program for this coming fall and was wondering if I should include this in my updated CV or not. If so, what is the best way to convey that I have not yet started the program but will be soon?
  4. This is my second year applying to graduate schools in Physical Anthropology. My GPA within my major is a 3.0, I have 2 years field experience (including supervisory), while I haven't published anything, I do have a lot of research complete (with write-up) and I am even able to return to my field school to conduct my own research again (which I assume looks great for a potential masters thesis). My problem: I have a low overall GPA (2.3) and low-ish GRE scores (1050). The GRE I can obviously retake. During my undergrad, I suffered heavily from depression (though I was not seeing a therapist or anyone for it, which is typical of depression). This heavily impacted my work outside of Anthropology (pretty much the only thing I was able to focus on). Additionally, my professor capable of giving the strongest recommendation for my academic and professional work was unable to write me a recommendation letter (due to legal reasons involving my college screwing her over with her contract and her not being able to comment on my work under her there). How do I go about explaining these issues (the depression has been dealt with, and no longer effects my motivation for coursework) to a graduate committee without sounding like a sob-story ploy to get myself in?
