<p>Hello I would like to know what are the typical stats for undergrads applying to a schools strong in these programs. What else do you need to a strong contender to get into a first-rate school and what are the best schools for geology/engineering</p>

<p>Stats as of now</p>

<p>3.75 GPA
President of Environmental Action Coalition at school
Fellowship Winner for Research
Lambda Alpha Anthropological Honor Society
Summer Internship with University of Texas
Conducted a year's worth of research
Supposed to start a new research project for conference next year (Fellowship)
Black International Student</p>

You're going to have to be a lot more specific than that. What field of geology- historical, physical, geochemistry, stratigraphy, structural/tectonics, or other? What specifically within that field?</p>

<p>i am looking in the way of geophysics, geochemistry or even environmental engineering. i am an environmental studies major by the way.</p>

<p>Unfortunately, I don't know anything about those areas. I don't like rankings, but I hope these at least get you started:</p>

<p>Geochemistry[/url</a>]

<p>Here's a fairly complete list of geology departments:
Geoscience</a> Departments WWW Directory - US & Canada</p>

<p>A good start would be figuring out what you want to study. It doesn't have to be extremely specific, but you need to have a good idea of what you're interested in -- this is vital for a strong personal statement. Within geophysics one might want to study volcanology, for example.</p>

<p>You should meet with one of your geology professors, perferably one who specializes in geochem or geophysics. (S)he is the person most likely to know where you should apply and what your chances are.</p>

<p>ok thank you. is rice university a good school for environmental engineering? I heard that it is one of the top institutions in the U.S for this.</p>
