Hi all,
Is it too late to join the forum? I'm also applying to anthropology programs for fall 2016, and have already sent in my applications. I'm interested in studying deforestation in Central Africa (which contains the world's second largest expanse of tropical forests), and how it is impacting the indigenous forest dwellers living there. I've applied to Stanford, Cornell, UCLA, University of Virginia, and Notre Dame. I also applied to UC Santa Cruz's PhD in environmental studies program. I'm currently in a PhD program in political science (this is my 2nd year), but I've found that my research interests have changed drastically. I have a 3.85 GPA from my PhD program, and graduated with a 3.87 GPA and a triple major in economics, political science, and political economy from a working class state university. Like most of you, I'm incredibly nervous about the whole process, especially because I am seeking to leave one PhD program for another in which I have no undergraduate experience! Good luck to all of you, and can't wait to hear about who is getting accepted where
