Here's my situation,
I've been applying to start graudate school next fall to study public relations/integrated marketing communications, and I'm trying to get a better idea of what type of financial aid I could get offered (if any). I've applied to some of the top masters PR/IMC schools in the country including:
USC Annenberg
Medill School at Northwestern University
Newhouse School at Syracuse University
Boston University
Georgetown University
Here's what I think I have going for me:
3.64 overall GPA - not from a top tier school though
Active in campus leadership, earned awards/honors during undergrad
Three years of work experience in my desired field
What I'm concerned about:
Mediocre GRE scores - 150 Verbal Reas., 145 Quantitative Reas., 3.5 Analytical Writing
Haven't lasted at any of my jobs for an entire calendar year
Could anyone who's either been in a similar situation (test scores/GPA wise), attended one of these schools or attempted to tell me:
Do I have a decent chance at getting accepted?
What type of financial aid do these schools offer?
