<p>thanks a lot for your help ! I reallly appreciate ;)</p>
<p>Do you list the schools from the best to not-so-good ? Surely they are not all the same good at anthropology right ?</p>

Thanks also for your recommendations !
Could you tell me why do you think these 6 are the best ?</p>
<p>The truth is most undergrad focused schools and top LACs will be great. All will place you into great grad schools and provide ample opportunities.</p>
<p>That said, Dartmouth has a particularly strong undergrad focused department. Perks include a specific anthro study abroad program to New Zealand, and a large undergrad specific grant for student research (Clare Garber Goodman Grant). $10K grants for international research are commonplace. Reading courses (1-on-1 with a professor), the opportunity to do a thesis (also 1-on-1), and great classes add to the department's strength.</p>
<p>I've heard good things about Case.</p>
<p>Yes..Definitely u can get almost the best of everything in top LACs....but what about the not-so-top schools ?</p>
<p>Dartmouth.....One of my friends get admitted..</p>
