I haven't taken the GRE yet and I'm very nervous to. I've been doing some practicing but it hasn't gone very well. I need scores above the 50th percentile in order to look good to most schools. Does anyone have any tips? It's been forever since I took the ACT and I'm really worried I won't do well. How do I prepare? Is there a specific site or app I can go to that'll help me prepare better? Is around 140 or so for each section bad? I'm not set to take it for a month or so but I'm still really nervous. Any tips would be greatly appreciated thanks guys

I'm applying to other schools like Boston Denver Washington Howard too

Which LOR writer would you choose?

if you scores really aren't that good then yeah I would take it again. If you really wanna take it to waist money then don't do it. You should study on some apps they have they really do help. Good luck
-
Yeah there are some schools that will accept you with under a 3.0 GPA. It's okay if you didn't get into Columbia there will be other schools. Keep your head up

You should ask professors and if you have a job, ask someone in your current job to write one. I'm doing that and it should be okay. Good luck and hope I helped

I'm getting one from an online professor (mostly because my program is completely online) but if you have any supervisors, you could get one from someone at your school and then find the other letters elsewhere. Good luck

Which LOR writer would you choose?
emylauren2794 replied to Cat Time's topic in Letters of Recommendation
I'd go with professor number 4 simply because he knows you the best and the professor who didn't really have that much interaction with you isn't probably the best choice to have a LOR written for. Good luck- 9 replies

I was wanting to apply to Harvard's Graduate School of Education. I'd be doing the Prevention Science and Practice with maybe the CAS the following year. I have a good GPA but don't have a lot of experience. I was told by all of my grad schools that they didn't require experience and it would be good if I had it in case everything else wasn't balanced out. I looked at several other Ivy Leagues in social work and I really liked Columbia and Harvard's the best. I have yet to take my GRE and am super nervous for that. Anyone else been accepted by Harvard to tell me what they're looking for? I have a 4.0 GPA and hopefully will have experience to go along with it, but I'm not sure. Let me know. Thanks

How to get their attention?
emylauren2794 replied to tiny_trevor's topic in Letters of Recommendation
You should ask him to write one for you. It couldn't hurt and a good letter of recommendation really helps. When I have them written, I'm going to ask one of my professors, my advisor and a job personnel to write one for me. If you really don't think he would write one, then ask someone else but I would ask him first and then see where to go from there. I'm sure he'd write one for you. Good luck -
I need opinions about letters of recommendation
emylauren2794 replied to speechfan222's topic in Letters of Recommendation
I won't have a lot of experience when I apply either so I would do professors and that pathologist who you worked for. They will help write good letters of recommendation for you and if you ask all the professors, it might not be a good idea since your pathologist that you worked for would be a good insight on your skills and work ethic in the field. If you have to write three, choose two professors and the pathologist. Good luck and hope I helped -
Thank you for this. I've heard it's pretty difficult (more or less than the ACT/SAT) and I'm not really good with big tests, so I'm kind of nervous. I'm okay with the writing and the reading and verbal, but not so much math which I feel will be my downfall. I plan on taking it this summer, although I'm not sure yet. Thank you for the tips. I've been using apps to try and prepare myself but I will definitely look at Magoosh now.

It's pretty much the same as the ACT/SAT but I haven't taken the ACT in years. I was told the GRE is harder, but there are a lot of apps and test preps that you can do to help study. Good luck

MSW programs that have accepted below 3.0 GPA
emylauren2794 replied to AshToGrad's topic in Social Workers Forum
While my cumulative GPA from both schools I applied to isn't going to be under a 3.0, it'll be around 3.4 something. It all depends on if you can be good in other areas of the application, such as personal statement and experience that will help make you a good candidate. While GPA isn't everything, it does play a factor. -
Im in the same boat. While NYU is less expensive, I heard Columbia's program is also really good. They're both expensive (as are all grad schools, but don't let that discourage you from one or the other). Look at the pros and cons and also visit both campuses. Good luck

I think you have a good shot. GPA doesn't mean everything to grad schools, there are multitude of factors that go into making someone a good candidate. Your work experience is good, but you also should have strong LORs and a good personal statement. That stands out to most committees more than anything. Sure your GPA might be on the lower average end, but as long as your grades show that you can handle difficult classes, you have a good shot. Good luck
