What schools will you be applying to in the spring? Just wondering what grad schools open their admission at that time?

Thank you Tay1991 for your awesome advice! I will for sure keep all the points you made in mind. Good luck with making your decisions:)

Wow: kcald716...you are awesome! I'm going to print out your tips tomorrow lol. I appreciate you doing that. I really love Western. I have tried to say in touch when them throughout the year and I visited again in Feb. Everyone seems so nice there and the town is so chill. I really regret with a passion that I did not apply to more programs this year. It's my first year teaching and my mind has been crazy since August. Congrats on getting accepted to ECU, I have talked to several people in the department there on the phone ha ha. They were super nice! Good luck making your decisions. I'm going to be glued to my computer starting Monday. Oh, I'm so scared. I have a feeling a severe depression is coming. Not knowing what's to come for the next year of my life is making my so anxious.

Thanks so much midnight streetlight and mystiqueSLP! The second time I went down and the third I went up a point. On the new GRE my highest was a 291 and on the old a 940. I also took the MAT and scored a 405. Most of the schools I'm interested in do not even look at the MAT. I can hardly stand waiting anymore.I will for sure think about volunteering if I don't get in though. Applied: UGA and Western Carolina Accepted: Rejected:UGA 3 year program Supplemental Application: Western Carolina (wondering if this is a good sign) or did everyone that applied get this too?

Hi! I was wondering if I could get a bit of advice from anyone. I'm an out-of field applicant with one year of teaching experience. I have a mediocre GRE score and 3.7 GPA. I'm a horrible test taker. I have taken the GRE three times. The first and second time I studied hard core for four months. The third time was a year later and I didn't study hardly at all. Sometimes I think some people just have the skills to take test (standardized) and some people don't (including me). Does anyone have any suggestions, should I just stop taking the GRE, or take a GRE class (which costs $800)? I feel so dumb. I just don't know if my score will ever increase. Also, I do not have any of the pre-req classes. If I do not get in this year, does anyone have any suggestions? Will I have a better chance of getting in if I enroll as an undergrad and take the pre-reqs at the actual school OR take them online? I want the cheapest option, but the one that will give me the best chance. Do schools really care about volunteer hours? Any suggestions would be so wonderful! Thanks so much in advance:)
