<p>Just to clarify I am currently an MA student so I am a little less than a year away from applying for Phd programs. So I am doing lots of research on all schools but since I attended school X for undergrad (very integrated with grad work) I know a lot about the possibilities there and know I could do the work I want to do within a great community. </p>
<p>To answer Juillet’s question yes I do want to be an archaeologist, preferably academically based. Part of the reason I like school X is because it produces Phd’s who are actually hired, its actually an extremely high percentage of Phd holders from the program that are hired in their area within less than a year. </p>
<p>Basically Im asking if it’s worth it to apply to other programs knowing that school X is the one place I feel could give me what I need? Is it worth spending the time on other applications when I could be focusing on making one amazing application? </p>
<p>It might be important to note that the Dean asked me to consider writing a proposal that would be in her upcoming 10 year project. It wasn’t just a “you’re a good candidate.” </p>
