Requirements for Phd in History

I am a 4th year history major and am interested in going to graduate school for history. I attend a UC school, but was a transfer student and didn't do any undergraduate research. My GPA is a 3.5 and I have not taken the GRE yet. What numbers would I need to get into a top 30 history program?

Getting into a top-30 history Ph.D program is not going to be about "numbers." You need to pursue research projects, and you still have time to do it. Talk to your professors about doing a senior thesis.
