Thank you so much for these amazing responses. Nevertheless, I'm still worried about getting accepted into a phd program already. So, I'm assuming anthropology phd programs look at the holistic picture. It's not just about gpa and test scores. I still have some questions. Should I focus my research on one specific subfield of anthropology? Also I know that I haven't started college yet but is there anything you would recommend me doing to prepare myself for college level anthropology? My highschool had an anthropology course so I took that and I've been reading some books.

I'd like to go to Michigan but the cost is inconvenient and they don't accept ap courses as general credits. I'm not sure if I'll even make it in. I was thinking about the university of Madison. Or would penn state (not university of pennsylvania) be a better option? Does this really matter that much?

Ok, so the problem is that this idea may not be correct? What do other colleges (like berkeley) think about this? What do they teach instead? In other words, how does learning about archeology on the other spectrum different?

What do you mean by social evolutionist?

Thank you guys for all the help. I really appreciate it. I am personally interested in all aspects of anthropology but mostly archeology and cultural. Also, I'm really interested in mesoamerica, asia, premodern/ancient and classical civilizations. I think having smaller class sizes would be better. I mostly wanting to take the path that's great for getting a job in higher education. Does this help? Could you recommend some universities? I know that grad school is going to be more important. But I still want to make sure my undergrad school is a good choice.

My top two favorites right now are the university of michigan and penn state. I was also thinking about uchicago but I don'the think it's right for me. what do you think about this?

Ok

1- animator, need more skill 2- anthropologist, need a PHD 3- registered nurse, just got to get a BA

Becoming an anthropology professor would be truly amazing. However, some people have told me to go for a real job. In other words, it isn't a safe option. However, money isn't important to me as it is for other people. Going for a PhD is really expensive and getting a job I heard is difficult. However, I am willing to work hard, move far away for a job if I have to (or even out of the country), and other things too. Do you think that becoming a professor in anthropology would be worth it if I truly have the passion? Thank you.
