Are History and Social Science Grad Applicants Expected to Have Publications?

<p>And if so, in undergraduate journals, or the ones graduate students and professors regularly get published in?</p>

<p>Thanks.</p>

<p>For undergrads, no. For someone in a MA program, if you have a publishable thesis, then it may be expected that you can try to get it published in a top-tier journal in your own sub-field.</p>

<p>Sounds reasonable, thanks! I feel like I have every area of my application/CV covered except for publications and awards/fellowships, and that makes me a little nervous.</p>
