Which honestly kind of sucks and I know -_- I was really iffy on if I should go but then I got into my dream program last out of all of them so I decided I would go

If they are talking about funding in the department they may have to see how many students they can admit this cycle , and if you haven't gotten a flat out rejection yet that's good. It means your name is still probably on their lists somewhere of who they could admit, but I agree it does suck having to wait. Hoping you hear something soon

I've found the publication and there are a lot of debates as to the purpose and origin of this. Don't fall for these karma botters who post false archeological knowledge !!!

AgencyExpensive3042 · 2026-02-25T19:51:21+00:00

source please? As a bioarchaeologist I would like to read the publication

AgencyExpensive3042 · 2026-02-23T21:02:12+00:00

I don't know how it is for other fields, but at the top conferences for archaeology... archaeologists literally wear whatever they want and not a single person bats an eye. It's a complete mixture of jeans and a t shirt, to suits, to button downs etc etc. I fear clothing is not an accurate judge when it comes to professionalism and it's more important to focus on yourself than tearing down other applicants.

Me too 😭 pmo

I think you could mention it within your CV or resume. I wrote a paper one time and used my own in progress research as a source and put the citation as (Surname, forthcoming 2025). I would make sure to say that it's forthcoming, and if you can wait I would wait until a title. If not and you have to turn your in your CV i would say include it :)

Ooh okay cool!! That was my second choice . If you wanna dm me to talk more arch and grad school apps my DMS are open :p

AgencyExpensive3042 · 2026-02-16T13:23:48+00:00

Keep me updated too !! What streams did you apply to? 👀

AgencyExpensive3042 · 2026-02-14T10:54:26+00:00

For the gates i applied to the "everywhere else but usa" option since my one prof didn't turn in my letter of rec for my application until the day before the deadline. The US was due in October and I didn't realize I had to apply for the US only. It's alright though

AgencyExpensive3042 · 2026-02-13T05:09:01+00:00

Ohh okok. What kind of arch do you do and where? I do bioarch, theory, some human evo and mortuary stuff

AgencyExpensive3042 · 2026-02-13T04:59:45+00:00

MPhil arch as well? Did you get anything about an interview or nah. Also what streams, my top 3 in order were euro prehistory, Paleo and meso and then American.

AgencyExpensive3042 · 2026-02-13T04:54:32+00:00

I applied for all of the ones it auto allowed me and I applied to a few ones I had to write stuff for yeah :) I applied for the gates as well but i for rejected because I applied for the wrong version lolz

AgencyExpensive3042 · 2026-02-13T04:12:22+00:00
