Do you have archaeological or bioarchaeological field experience? I think my time in the field made me a better scholar and a better candidate in the eyes of admissions committees. Excavating human remains in their context provides much more insight into what bioarch should be than just opening boxes in storage. I don't think it would hurt to contact departments asking for tips. The worst they can do to you at this point is ignore you. Plus, they get a chance to see how serious and committed you are to their department or the field and could remember that in the next application cycle.

I'm the one who posted the Missouri acceptance. I received an email including my acceptance and other information late this afternoon. Shortly after that, I received an email from the department's administrative assistant that included some pertinent information that had not been included in the original notification. There were 11 other people included in that email. Of course, this doesn't mean that they're done accepting but, obviously, they have made several offers.
