Platypus of Truth

Well, I've heard back from the last of the five programs I applied to and it looks like no Phd. program in Ancient History for me. Word on the street is that my age and marital status are against me but no school will ever say that as it's a Title IX violation. I also only have one M.A. at a time where two is becoming more and more the rule. Of course the real answer may simply be that my research doesn't match that of the professors in those programs with available slots this year. One way or another, it's time to re-plot and re-plan.
