  1. Hi all, Current undergraduate here and a prospective grad school applicant. Recently, I've been thinking about my professional experience thus far and my academic preparation for graduate work. I feel as though I am somewhat unsure what things I should be doing—outside of the obvious—to distinguish myself as a solid candidate in the future. I've had a few internships, I'm developing my language competencies, am in the process of pursuing an honors thesis, but my experience doesn't really extend much further beyond that. I'm aware of the heavy weight placed on drafting a solid writing sample/personal statement, and I'm working constantly to refine my academic writing skills. How else can I present myself as a candidate with a sound research background? What were some things you did during your time as an undergraduate that helped you land a spot in your preferred program(s)? I'd be curious to hear about some of the things you might have included on your CVs, or any general advice you might have for building a strong profile for myself. I want to ensure that I'm being judicious with my time and pursuing experiences that will show my commitment to research/the field. If it's any help, my planned area of focus is early modern Europe, particularly 16th-century Italy. Thanks so much!
