Thanks for the reply!

Hi! New to the forums and to the whole gradschool application process so I'm here for some help. I am finishing my Bachelor's degree in Sociology and Anthropology (double major) from the Philippines in October. I have a rather low overall GPA ~2.9/3.0 as I came from the sciences and found myself unmotivated to study during my first two years in university. My major GPA is quite high, though, ~3.5-3.8 (I still have some major subjects this last semester and I'm expecting A's from those). Other things about me - I have held research assistant jobs with professors and the resulting papers have been published, worked as a teaching and student assistant, I have attended an international sociological conference, as well as national ones, as an undergrad as a paper presenter (of my own research work), and I will be starting a job with an archiving project and will be training in cataloging art collections once I finish my studies in October. I am looking to do my Master's in Library and Information Science, with a concentration on archival work. Advice on what I need to improve on/work on and what GRE score range I should be targeting will be greatly appreciated. I would also like to know my chances of getting into schools such as UCLA or Michigan. Are they worth a shot or should I apply to lower ranked schools?
