Hello all!
I'm currently a college sophomore in Universidade de Brasilia, not very known outside of Brazil but considered the best anthropology department in the country. I have one year experience as a TA and have done one independent research project, which I will hopefully present on at least two undergrad conferences, and plan on doing another one this semester. My current GPA is 3.4 on a 4.0 scale. I'm mostly focused on urban anthropology and migration studies and really want to be able to continue my education abroad where I can best explore those areas of interest.
That said, I plan to apply to MA programs in the US and UK as soon as I earn my BA. As I still have two years to go before I graduate, my question is: what should I do to strengthen my curriculum and stand out, considering I'm foreign? Where are my weak spots and what should I work upon while I'm still an undergrad so my credentials are competitive enough for a funded master's in notable anthro departments?
Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
