GRE Question for application


Recommended Posts

Looking at the GRE scores of the other students and theirs blow my GRE score out of the water. I have taken it three times now and completed an review online and my score still sucks! I do have a documented learning disablity but cant affored to have it updated due to the cost. Any advice on what my next step should be? Should I still spend the money on applying to graduate school or focus on taking the GRE again? How long did everyone study for the GRE and what did they do to prepare? I also should mention I have a full time job as a special education teacher, two kids and work several other small jobs to bring in extra income (one being an SLPA). Thanks for any advice!

 

Verbal 146

Quant 136

Writen 4.0

Overal GPA 2.9

Speech classes 3.6

While I don't have too much advice as far as studying or taking the GRE, you may want to look at schools that don't require it or schools that look at the whole application rather than focusing on GPA and GRE scores. That's what I did when applying last yr since my GRE scores were average at best and my overall GPA wasn't very stellar. I ended up being accepted/waitlisted at 4 of the 7 schools I applied to. You can find these stats on programs' websites and through ASHA as well.

If you want to discuss Texas schools, feel free to pm and I can give you a lot of info since that's all that I applied to.

 

If you do some serious digging on this website (contro+F is your best bet with helping find things) you can find some topics from last year or even earlier where people listed schools that did not require GRE.
