  1. Thanks. If I get any offers from masters programs I will take that into account.* *impact of admission to prestigious grad school may have destructive impact on my rationality
  2. the comments in this thread might be useful for you
  3. ^ yes, I do get ahead of myself. Hadn't given enough consideration to the 'perks' of a top department. Thanks
  4. OK thanks for the advice. My goal has always been teaching/researching socio-cultural anthro. After my masters I need to work for a year or two (abroad in 'my field') then I'll reapply in fall 2012 hopefully with a great masters thesis to show and those letters you mention.
  5. I am finishing my BA and am looking at MAs. Should I do the more narrowly focused anthro MA at a not well known department which most closely suits my research interests and would prepare me for the specific topic I want to study later on. OR, do I go for the more rigorous MA at a larger, top ranked, and prestigious department? The cost of each is similar. I already have a POI for the PhD but worried when I apply they might not be taking students so I will have to go somewhere else and focus on a different topic, in which case the more focused MA from the not so well known department might be a disadvantage. My BA isn't in anthro though I have a lot of anthro courses and research experience, as you can see from this cutting-edge poll I developed.
