  1. He interviewed me! He said he'll call me tomorrow with a decision! I could be moving to LONDON to study ART HISTORY! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!
  2. I've just recently begun my GRE studying, currently working on the mathematics section. The math, thus far, seems high school level at best. I'm kind of astounded, actually, that I'm here looking at fractions and word problems. In fact, the most difficult part of the exam seems to be the vocabulary...which can be memorized in a reasonable amount of time. And the essays, while sometimes requiring a stretch of mental ability, seem totally doable. So, my question is, did you find the GRE so extremely learnable? Keep in mind, I've spent the past year studying for the LSAT, which has only one discernible thought pattern required to find its answers...you basically have to train yourself to process information differently. What do you think?
  3. I calculated yesterday that my GPA in my major was a 3.4. Yaaaaay. Plus, I have some pretty decent soft factors. We'll see. I applied to the University of London yesterday for funzies. Maybe they'll ignore those horrible math and science grades. :/
  4. My plans have just recently shifted. I've spent the past three years preparing for law school, and consequentlly I'm more familiar with that process. In case you aren't, a super impressive LSAT score can almost always override an unimpressive GPA (at least if it's over a 3.0). I'll be taking the GRE for the first time in the fall, but my GPA from undergrad was a lowly 3.02 + 3.92 study abroad semester. Would it be terribly difficult to get into a wonderful humanities MA program with this GPA and an impressive GRE score? Or is it different for grad school? Do soft factors...like professional statement and resume...have significant weight?
  5. I'm planning on applying to grad schools next year to obtain my MA in religious studies. Unfortunately I have to overcome a dreadful GPA (3.02 with a study abroad semester of 3.92) and have yet to take the GRE yet. How difficult have you guys found getting into top-notch programs? I mean, Duke (graduate not divinity), Columbia, UPenn, and the like? The acceptance stats scare me. I'm also considering going abroad to study, most likely in the UK. Do you have any suggestions for excellent programs there? Sorry for the ignorance. I'm three-days-new into this whole process.
