Hey all!
I'll try to keep this precise-
Last year of undergrad studies in Electronics and Communication Engineering.
Expect the CGPA to end up around 7.7-8/10.
Have worked as a trainee with a telecom security firm and have been volunteering with a Woman Empowerment Organization since last December.
Now, as I have neither Humanities or Social Sciences background and I am interested in studying SocioCultural Anthropology-
1. How can I fill the gap and enhance my CV? Any internships, programmes I can enroll myself into? Diplomas?
2. Some universities have courses designed for students from various fields. If I go for them,
- again, I would want to have a better CV than what I currently have.
- will references from my faculties (technical subjects) suffice?
- how do I calculate the probability of getting accepted into a university and take my chances? With all my admission requirements ready(GRE score or not, references, SOPs, essays, etc.), do I simply apply at all those universities which have courses which suit me best?
- I intend to delve into research. Can I go for a research degree, given I have no formal anthropological training?
3. Also, what are some of the best universities for Social/Cultural Anthropology in US/UK? Or any other country in Europe. Student diversity and student culture matters.
Thanks!
