Hi, everyone! I am interested in Medical Anthropology. I noticed Brown has a good handful of professors who specialize in this area. Would anyone be able to give me feed back on their program? Moreover, if you were accepted, would you please share your application process/statement of interest/credentials? I'd very much appreciate it!

Hi, knp! Thank you for responding, I really appreciate it! I will try to have a sit down with my professors and discuss what I would like to do. I just hope I can adequately express what I would like to study. Moreover, I went to a faculty luncheon earlier this week and most of the faculty members that spoke about their undergrad + grad experiences said "DO NOT GO RIGHT AWAY." Some of them went to grad school right after undergrad, others waited 5-15 years before even applying. I am just nervous because I know I would like to go into academia, but I am not sure if I am ready to go into rigorous training. Moreover, I am not sure if my undergrad school has prepared me well enough to succeed in grad school. Many thanks~

Hi, everyone. I am new to this forum, so please forgive me if this topic has already been posted. I would like to apply for graduate school this Fall. I am enrolled in a newly established university. GPA: 3.83. I am currently enrolled in a graduate course, so I am getting a taste of what graduate school would feel like. I am interested in medical anthropology and I have a research project in mind, but I keep thinking: Am I ready? How did you know you were ready to go for a PhD? What credentials should you have to be a competitive applicant?

Hi, I attended HDS DixEx program last November. It was a wonderful experience. About 50 students are selected to spend 2-3 days in HDS. Students can attend classes, meet faculty, explore HDS, etc. I would definitely apply to DivEX to see if HDS is a right fit for you. All the best wishes.

Hi! What are the top anthropology programs in California or US (in your opinion)? Thanks!!
