Hi Everyone,
I am hoping to get advice from people who are familiar with anthropology graduate admissions.
I graduated from a state school with a degree in math and a minor in Spanish. I am hoping that people who are more familiar with what anthropology graduate schools are looking for can advice me on how to improve my application. Most of my experience is with physical and life sciences but I have realized that anthropology is my passion.
My stats:
Research: I have 5 years of biology lab assistant experience, 1 year of bioengineering lab experience, one conference paper and presentation for biomath research, and a NFS REU in biomathematics and a top state school.
GPA: My gpa is pretty low (3.3) but most of my low grades are in my upper level math courses and my social science grades are great. I hope to raise this a bit with the classes this fall.
GRE: Verbal: 77%, Math 89%, Writing: 72%
I am part of the way through the Peace Corps Application process. I really would like to apply for graduate school while I am in the Peace Corps so I would like to have my resume and experience ready before hand. I know that an undergrad degree in math is a bit odd for medical anthro graduate school but I do have the biology and medical experience? I am not sure if my application will be great or completely disregarded. Thank you so much!
