The CV outlines your professional training and accomplishments. The Department appreciates that incoming students with extensive experience or prior graduate education will have a lengthier CV than students who are apply for graduate school directly after obtaining the bachelor’s degree. Although the format of a CV can vary, the following topics are usually included (as appropriate): Your name, email address, contact information Education (list of institutions, your major field of study, graduation dates) Honors and awards (honorary society memberships, graduation honors Fellowships and grants received (for example: for undergraduate or graduate study, for travel) Research interests (for example: possible geographic area of interest, possible general topics of interest) Relevant experience (for example: intensive travel, fieldwork (including field schools), research experience, relevant professional experience, relevant volunteer experience) Any publications (or unpublished manuscripts, including the title of your bachelor’s thesis, or master’s thesis, as appropriate; fieldwork reports, research reports, papers or posters presented to a professional audience or at a public event) Personal Statement: The personal statement focuses on your ability and preparation to do graduate level scholarly work, as well as personal and professional experiences that may have led to your interest in anthropology. Therefore, in this essay you should emphasize your academic and personal preparation for graduate study, including undergraduate coursework and professional experiences, awards, and undergraduate research experience. Other relevant information might include volunteer experiences, experiences in living or working abroad, or competency in a foreign language. Recommendation Letter: Three letters of recommendation from persons of high credibility who are in a position to judge the applicant’s academic ability and accomplishments. Letters of recommendation can only be submitted online via the Grad Portal, unless there are unusual circumstances that prevent a recommender from doing so. To request a letter of recommendation: Go to the Grad Portal at www.admissions.msu.edu/gradportal Sign in (upper right hand corner of the screen). Your Applicant ID is the six digit number sent to your e-mail when you started your application. Your password is the one you generated when creating your application Once in the Grad Portal, click on “Letters of Recommendation” (right hand side of the screen) Click on “Register Recommender” (bottom left hand side of screen)\ Type in your letter writer’s first name, last name, and e-mail address Check whether or not you waive your rights of access to the letter Click “Add Recommender” An e-mail will automatically be generated and sent to your recommender, letting them know that you are requesting a letter from them. They will be given a link to the Grad Portal, where they will first fill out information about themselves and their relationship to you. Your recommender will then be prompted to upload their letter of recommendation (valid file types include pdf, jpg/jpeg, tif/tiff, bmp, gif, png). To check if your recommender has uploaded their letter, go to the “File Uploads” portion of the Grad Portal. Academic Statement: The Academic Statement should be a 1-2 pp, double-spaced essay. This is a forward-looking statement that should focus on why you are interested in graduate study in anthropology, and your interest in pursuing graduate education here. Some questions to consider: Why do you think that MSU would be a good fit for your graduate education? What topics and geographic areas are you particularly interested in? Do you have any ideas about which faculty members you might want to work with? What do you anticipate doing after graduate school? How do you anticipate that your graduate studies in anthropology at MSU will prepare you for your career? Writing Samples: One or two writing samples: undergraduate or graduate research papers, published paper or copy of presented conference paper or poster.
