<p>What type of anthropology? I'm assuming cultural. Regardless, it's very difficult to chance people at the graduate level, because it's so much more than just grades and test scores. How your interests fit with the department is very important as are your letters of rec...If you are accepted to any of those universities then you will likely receive full funding.</p>
