I figured this might be a good place for me to start, since I'm new to this. I'm currently halfway through my MSLIS and preparing to do my second round of applications to PhD programs. I applied to 5 last year and didn't get into any, so I went through with my "backup" plan of Library School. I'm nervous about applying this year, because I'm now more constricted by needing funding (which is hard to find), and I don't know that I'll get accepted anywhere.
I'm trying to narrow down my area of interest, US inter-/post-war looking at youth culture/social movements/public history, and match up to schools with faculty and programs that support it. I'm also working on studying to retake the GRE, but I'm not sure how much that will help or how much weight is put on those scores. I'd love to know if anyone has any recommendations or opinions.
