I'm a high school senior, which certainly puts me out of place on this forum, but I'm quite interested in eventually attending grad school and had a couple of questions as to getting there.
I'm thinking about attending Texas A&M as an Economics major, and joining the joint degree MPIA program after two years (as I bring with me a year of community college dual-credit classes). The questions are:
1) As for the GRE, are joint-degree applicants expected to have significantly higher GRE scores than regular applicants? I heard somewhere that Econ-MPIA's were expected to have 'almost perfect' quantitative scores to get in (from one source), and I was wondering if there was any truth to that statement.
2) Will my community college GPA be factored into joint degree program admissions?
Thanks!
