I think you could try to show, instead of simply stating what you have achieved in undergrad- that ties into your interests. For example, could you perhaps think of a project, a thesis, any academic achievements that cohesively ties your Linguistics major and Psych minor together? That will indefinitely SHOW them how it all relates.. Also, I think that this is a tad bit too autobiographical. Perhaps you could use the last paragraph to further elaborate your future plans- long term and short term. Hope this helps!

Thank you all for your helpful feedback!

Like the title mentions- Is it pertinent to state the program and school to which you are applying to? I've asked around, but have been getting mixed results! Some say that it is necessary to state it into the introduction and others have mentioned that it is completely unnecessary because they obviously know! Any suggestions? Thanks!

I've noticed that the quant practice tests for Barron's and Kaplan is pretty different... Anyone notice this either? And which test is more like the actual GRE quant?

Hey all! I was wondering if any of you have experiences with receiving a negative recommendation. I have two professors I wish to ask, but I am hesitant because they were graphic design professors and the program I wish to apply isn't quite related to design. I studied graphic design as an undergrad and have been working as a designer since graduating, but I would really like to apply to a communication program to focus on the management aspects of being in a marketing firm. I graduated with a 3.8 GPA and did well in all their classes, but for some reason, I am feeling a bit hesitant about it. So, are professors kind of obligated to write a good recommendation for students??
