I am a junior majoring in English. I have maintained a 3.9 GPA and have interned in an immigration law firm for two summers. I am interested in immigration and human rights issues. In addition, I am also interested in learning about cultural and ethnic groups and their relationships to/ experiences in the United States. I always thought the legal field was the ideal career for me, however, I realized that I prefer learning about the issues I have mentioned above through literature. In fact, rather than reading human rights reports, I enjoy reading and analyzing ethnic literature. Thus, I am starting to consider English grad programs (with an emphasis on American and multi-ethnic literature) or American Studies grad programs.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
