I only have one year left to my B.A. which means that I need to start thinking about grad school and so that I can apply in the Fall.
Has anyone else here gone through the process of applying for grad school? Any advices?
I am studying in history, especially in American history and I would love to study in the US. I might be able to get government funding from Canada to go study in the US but I'm not too sure about that. More likely, I'll have to get funding from the school I apply to.
I think I have a good chance of getting in. I have a GPA of 3.7 so far (not great, but should be enough... class averages are usually around 2.7, sometimes lower), I am working as a research assistant for one of my profs, I will be writting a thesis next year and I have been elected to the executive of the association of history students.... I should have good references from my profs too.
So now I need find universities that I would like to apply to. First, I should narrow down what kind of research I want to do.
I am kind of stressing out about the whole thing.
