Pretty good, pretty good. I've gotten into Kentucky and Texas Tech, rejected by New Mexico. Luckily, I've been able to pass the time by working on my thesis, having a 9-5 job, and tutoring some students at a local university.

I'm sure none of you care, but Texas Tech has sent everything to the Graduate School and the website is supposed to be updated. Anyone hear anything else, or frankly, even care... My guess is a resounding no. hahaha

I know most on this site are interested in the upper echelon of schools; however, I wanted to know if anyone knew when the following schools send out acceptances. Also, any additional information is welcome (# of applicants, # of admissions, avg scores, funding, ect.) - Washington State - Illinois-Chicago - New Mexico - Florida International - Texas Tech - Houston - Nevada - LSU - Kentucky - Ole Miss Thanks in advance

Reason for the low undergrad GPA...1.2 my first year...Laugh it up people

Regarding your concern of the GRE's, when I contacted each of the programs, they stated their avg. last year was 1135ish. Also, I am trying to get a paper, which is serving as my writing sample, published with the help of one of my recommenders.

Basically, I have a BA (poly sci; GPA: 3.04 total, 3.13 last 60 hours; 3.4 in major area) from the second largest school in the Indiana University system. Currently, I am done with all the coursework in their MA program at have a GPA of 3.71. Got an 1120 on the GRE's, and have applied to the following PhD programs, in no specific order: Washington State, Ole Miss, Nevada, Illinois-Chicago, Houston, LSU, Kentucky, Florida International, Texas Tech, and New Mexico. So, my stats are: UGPA: 3.04 Last 60 hrs: 3.13 Major Area: 3.4 Grad GPA: 3.714 GRE's: 1120 Also, I am teaching a class, acquired a RAship, got a full tuition waiver for my final 12 hours, and do some stuff at another university. Also, worked in state and local govt for the last 5 years, full-time, while going to school (I'm sure no one cares). Strong research paper and LOR's. Keep in mind where I am applying, I feel as though I am well within my range of possibilities. What does everyone think? Also, when should I hear from these programs? Thanks in advance!
