[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Top PhD programs want to see glowing recommendations from faculty whom they respect and they want to see a research agenda that looks interesting and important. Writing will be a central part of your career, so an impressive writing sample could help. Presenting or publishing scholarly work, while certainly not required at this stage, can also be a big plus. Bottom line: the best candidates for top PhD programs are applicants who look like they might make real contributions to the discipline. [/quote] +1 on this post. Also -- network, network, network. Get to know your advisor well and ask for recommendations for others you should get to know. Then ask the same of this network of contacts. Attend workshops and conferences as your time permits. And keep your GPA up![/quote]
