Hey! I'd suggest either taking the GREs over or apply to schools that don't require it. If you don't mind my asking, which school in DC are you looking to apply to? Other than that your application sounds great! GOOD LUCK!

I'm moving from out of town and my apartment is about 7 miles from the campus. The closer to the campus, the more expensive it seems... However I'll take a train in each day as the station is across the street from my campus.

my SO is being a jerk and I'm pretty sure we'll break up before we leave. We're going on almost 5 years and me moving only 5 hours away is making him leave. Oh well, I'll have a new city at my fingertips and school work to make me forget... Plus I'm probably better off, right?

Well I decided to buy a brand new car after I graduated from my undergrad because I was rejected by most of my grad schools and didn't have hope for the last one. However, I was accepted and I'm definitely going. I'm going to school in a city that has a subway though so I'll be fine (I think). I asked my professors at my current school if it was required by them when they were in their grad program (clinicals and externships) and they said not until their 2nd year. I'm going to keep paying my auto loan and see if I do need my car later but I think because I'm in a metro area I'll be okay.

I'll be honest -- I thought I was pretty competitive.. I have the saaaame stats & I was rejected to every school that I applied to. 5 schools in NY 1 in GA and one in SD. I'm super depressed but I'm looking to do some volunteer work (but no one wants to take me on..) and I'm going to retake GREs & rewrite my SOP. I had volunteer experience teaching kids/adult classes and research experience. I'm still going to apply next year, no harm in trying.. but I'm going to check out other programs too.

Do you mind my asking which programs you applied to?

i'm sad, valdosta rejected me Oh well. try again next year i suppose.

I've been rejected by 5 schools, waiting on 3 still. No good news yet, and i thought I was competitive for where I had applied

UDC, syracuse, and VSU...

no still nothing! i had a dream last night that someone updated on grad cafe and said they were accepted-- ugh! i'm feeling like a loser. I'm really hoping I get into this school, as it's my top choice... gah! what about you still waiting on others?

I can log in but can't see a schedule. It says i haven't been admitted yet.

do you mind me asking your stats as well? I heard this school was a little easier to get into, but who knows this yr!

sure did! eep!

Gahh I want to know now. I'm only waiting on them and 2 more schools at this time. 1010 on the GRE & 3.5 in the major, 3.3 overall.

still watiing on valdosta!!
