To meet her goals, she should focus on her performance in school, and her rigor of coursework. She can also get involved in related Extra Curricular activities. While any Science EC that takes her interest is good, she might find some more specific ones.

Also, if she qualifies, CTY is a good resource.

They have excellent classes in various locations (a friend’s dd is going to a 3 week camp in CA this summer.) Also, the magazine is excellent. It highlights a different discipline each month, and includes a college profile, articles by students up through grad school and professionals about work in that area. The is info on how to get more involved. You can backorder volume 8 #2 archeology & Anthropology. They also have an issue on Paleontology and this would be a good EC too–amateurs can get involved.

Instead of spending time prematurely researching colleges, she’d be better off learning about the field and related areas as an EC.

CTY does have an interesting forensics course. I’m sure they have various Anthro courses.
