Didn't get into Duke. It has me worried. I'm hoping that one of the 5 I applied to will take me. I don't want to be a Latin teacher for the rest of my life

On a side note, did I recommend - or did you look at - Mizzou? Classics or Art & Archaeology. I have two friends there (one of whom is the boy) and they seem pretty happy. Kathleen Slane is there, and she does Roman things.
I don't even know what Mizzou is. Well, now I do since I looked it up. But I think it's far too late to apply, and I don't know if I'll have the resources to try and apply again.
Edit. There is still time to apply, but I wouldn't be eligible for a teaching assistantship.
Well...you know, when I applied to FSU the first time around, I applied in late March? Just talking to them (Pullen, then Fulkerson) was enough for them to be interested and encourage me to apply. I only got half-funding at first, but by August someone had dropped out, and I got the full funding.
So it's worth a shot, basically.
I just sent off a FB message to Mark asking his opinion/recommendation (Tristan would probably ignore me, so I won't bother with him - plus he's a Hellenist). Might be a few days til I hear from him, but I'll let you know.
Again, might be worth a shot. The place sounds a lot like FSU, but their ancient art cohort is a lot smaller.
