  1. Thanks guys, that is helpful. I'm applying in Canada, we don't put a ton of emphasis on the GRE with most programs. However, some specialized programs require it even if the university doesn't.
  2. Is taking the GRE even worth the extra stress? It actually frustrates me that some schools still require it. Most don't even care about the score and it doesn't actually provide valuable information. *Sorry for the small rant! I'm applying for the Sept 2017 start in several Speech and Language Pathology programs. I would love to go to Dalhousie, but they require the GRE. It's the only school I'm applying to that requires it (I'm also applying to UBC, Western, and potentially McMaster). I haven't studied for it since I wasn't planning on taking it. Most of my deadlines are January or February. I guess I could crash course studying for it, but I'm not sure it's worth it. Thoughts?
  3. I'm currently taking a gap year for a few reason: 1. Finances 2. After 6 years in post-secondary (2 in college and 4 for Bsc) I needed a bit of a mental health break. 3. I'm building my resume, doing my shadow hours, working on my writing and research, and potentially taking some extra courses. I'm debating on taking the GRE (not all the program I'm applying to require it). I talked to a few of the professors and graduate students in my department about their thoughts on taking a gap year. The consensus was that if you were going to use it as a building year it wouldn't hurt you at all. Hope that helps!
