  1. Congrats on the interview! How did it go? Was it of technical nature or general? But if you haven't already done the interview yet, my guess is it is more of checking you as a person and a potential co-researcher (or so I heard/read); so don't stress.
  2. Dear Gabe, Thanks for your reply. I would get some experience and try to increase my GRE scores to 90th percentile. Some of the programs I am thinking about are run jointly by School of Education and Sch. of Arts and Sciences, while some are run by just the Ed School.
  3. First, belated Happy Thanksgiving to Gabe and everyone on this thread J . I am seriously considering applying for grad school (PhD) in an interdisciplinary area at the interface of Education, Sociology and Culture studies. My realistic shot for a serious application would be in 2 years from now. I have good UG credentials (graduated summa cum laude; got full scholarships for UG), but it was in natural sciences with some courses in social sciences and college level Math up to Calc II. My GRE is probably average (V 81 percentile, Q 71 percentile and AW 80 percentile). The programs I am targeting say that a master’s or previous academic background in education is not required. Now in order to strengthen my application for an interdisciplinary social science grad program, I am confused whether I should pursue a master’s or do real work in the field of education. I am inclined towards the professional work as it gives me a more rigorous exposure to real life before coming back to campus again, and some money to travel! How would the admission committee evaluate someone with two years field experience say in a rural school versus someone with a terminal master’s (rest being equal)? Thanks!
