    Thank you! I hope they are! I also Applied to IU, Iowa, MSU, UGA and UConn. Received invite from IU back in December. I think the masters results come out in late February since the deadline isn't until Feb 1. I think the waiting game is the hardest part though.

     

    Are you going to Interview Days at IU? I was invited back in December as well

    Help with undergrad research project

    in Political Science Forum

    Hello everyone!

     

    I'm currently a senior undergrad student and I'm taking my senior capstone course. For the course we have to come up with our own research question and write a 25 page paper answering the questions. I'm struggling to come up with something I actually care about (it's worth it to note that I really dont like my major, but by the time I realized how miserable I am it was far too late to change, and I'm going to grad school for higher education so I just need a bachelors to get in). My interests in political science include judicial politics and race and politics. I definitely want to write about race and politics. Can anyone evaluate my research questions and provide feedback to make them better/more specific? I'm honestly lost at this point and any help is appreciated.

     

    "Are there examples of institutionalized racism in the American political system? How do these practices affect U.S. politics? Can a system of laws truly serve those it was never intended to protect?"

    How reliable is Kaplan GRE prep?

    in GRE/GMAT/etc

    Hello all,

     

    I'm signed up for my GRE for August 16th and I'm a little worried about doing well. At the beginning of summer I purchased a Kaplan prepbook and took a diagnostic test cold and scored a 156Q and 152V. I was pretty content with these being my base scores before any prep whatsoever, as my goals are to score a 155+ in each section. I worked full time this summer while taking 2 of the most difficult courses for my major and I definitely put GRE on the backburner (I still studied, but alot less than I probably should of) Now I've found the GradCafe and it seems from alot of the posts here say that Kaplan diagnostic tests are not as predictive for actual performance. I will be spending the next three weeks studying as much as possible and I downloaded the Powerprep software and I plan to take one of the time diagnostics this week. How reliable are the Kaplan scores, in your experience? If I spend 3-4 hours a day for the next 3 weeks studying, is it realistic for me to score in the 155+ range? Any advice is appreciated!

    I will be applying for Fall 15! Really hoping to have a GA in Orientation/New Students Programs. I have 3 years of experience working in different capacities for my university's new student programs office and it's been the most rewarding experience. Also have experience in housing (RA for 2 years) Greek life (officer positions in my chapter and IFC) and student conduct. I'd be happy in any of the fields but Orientation is my calling :)

    University of Florida

    UConn

    Ohio State

    Indiana University

    University of Georgia
