Hello, I am a fist time poster. I am a current junior History major at Texas Christian University (TCU) and I am interested in going to grad school in American history. My topics of interest are 19th century American history and specifically state formation and important powerholders outside of the presidency. Ideally would love to go to a top tier program ( I have high GPA and GRE). What are your suggestions for things I can do in the next year to make a competitive application?
