Awesome old thread.

I am an Anthropology major with a focus on Socio-Cultural but I want to get as much exposure as I can in Archaeology and Linguistics as well (Physical Anthro not so much. Haha)

I chose it because I have always been a Social Scientist. Cultural Anthropology is the king of the social sciences. You study religion, economics, language, mating and marriage, oral tradition, and you use a lot of compare and contrast methods. It is an excellent chance to use your critical thinking skills to see the world through many different eyes.

I have been accepted to UCLA, UCSD and UCSB. I am waiting to hear from Berkeley on Friday. I am pretty sure I am going to go to either UCLA or Berkeley. I have been researching both furiously. UCSD seems to have a great program as well. What schools are my fellow anthro majors choosing this year? Please tell me why as well.
