Glad I wasn't alone on that one. I'm in the same boat with living with parents, I do have the option of moving in with my boyfriend where-ever I go, but I'm more comfortable having my parents support me than him. Plus, and I know this is silly, I really don't want to pump my own gas, I've done it and don't like it. I don't really want to go to Southern CT if I don't absolutely have to. I got a mailing today for LIU's open house, apparently you can apply, be accepted and register all on the same day. That just seems so shady/way too easy to get into. Maybe I'm just being elitist and maybe I'll change my tune if I get rejected from Rutgers and Pratt. I just want to know already, March 15 isn't coming soon enough.

I've applied to Rutgers, Pratt Institute(sent in my app on 12/12), and Southern Connecticut State (accepted, no financial info). I'm holding off on sending in my Long Island University app since their deadline is in July, and I put together an app for CUNY Queens but I don't think I'm going to send it in. A $125 app fee is pretty steep and I was the least enthusiastic about their program. Since I've already gotten in elsewhere I just don't want to spend the money. I went a little nuts the other day when I got a Rutgers email with the subject: "Your Current Rutgers MLIS Application Status" but it was just a notification that the app was going to the admissions committee. Seriously uncool. Sweet sweet instate tuition and best ranked program I'm applying to, I don't need the tease.

I'm a Gamma Phi Beta alumna.

Anyone have an experience with schools in the NJ, NY, CT? I've applied to Rutgers, Pratt Institute, CUNY Queens, Long Island University, and Southern Connecticut State. I'd be happy to be accepted to any of the schools. For Rutgers, does being from NJ help? I'm obscenely nervous about being admitted anywhere, I have a strong GPA, lots of internships, good LOR from a top undergraduate university and an overall good resume but my GRE score wasn't as high as I would have liked. Many of the schools didn't require the GRE if your GPA was over a 3.0, so is it not as important as it is for other fields?
