Hi all,
I'm in the early stages of this application process. I was unable to do a thesis my senior year of college unfortunately (for family/medical reasons). I did very well on the GRE and had a great GPA, assuming that I can get pretty decent LORs as well. Is it not advisable to apply to PhD programs if I don't have a thesis under my belt already? I'd rather not waste money on applications that will immediately disqualify me for that. I'm reluctant to do an MA as it could potentially put me in debt and I already have a BA in anthro so it wouldn't really change any employment prospects if a PhD never happens.
What do y'all think?
