Thanks. Congrats for getting into the school you wanted. I have a few months to work on my SOP. I will be posting it here for advice when I have a working draft. I already want to vomit. I just want to snap my fingers and just be in the grad school I want. Too bad that only happens in fairy tales.

I forgot about breathing. I'm surprised I haven't turned blue yet.

My problem is that there are only a handful of schools that have a Masters in Forensic Anthropology. Funny you should mention Minnesota, but they are on my list. I think five schools is a good amount. I will be posting my SOP to make sure I don't sound like, "I want to do this because I want to help people, or because I love Bones." (Which I don't. I can't stand that show.) I don't want to sound creepy either. Thanks for your advice.

Thank you for sharing that. In fact I think I'm going to print it out and look at it when I start to freak out.

I figured that some one here has had more experience in this stuff then me. I'm not asking if I will get in for sure, not really but I am trying to calm down my fears and seek advice from people that have been here where I am. Does that make sense? But you're right I have to try in order to know. I guess I'm not a big risk taker. I only applied to my undergrad because I knew I would get in. I guess it is time for me to stop taking just the safe route. This is something I want and I'm going have to take a risk. Thank you.

I want to go to Boston Uni for a masters in forensic anthropology. However, I was told that I need a 3.8 GPA. While I know that is not strictly true I do have some fears. My profile is this: GPA 3.30 in my major (anthropology) 3.65 GRE (all my practice tests are around) 1100 I have great letters and I will have a great SOP when I finish editing it like crazy. Do I have a shot in hell or should I focus my attention on my other schools? I have some states school's I'm looking at but I really want to go to BU. The program is perfect for me.
