What does it need to qualify for a student loan?
GradSchoolTruther replied to DannyZucker's topic in The Bank
This is America. You don't need a co-signer for a federal student loan. Also, I suggest your son research the process himself, unless you're going to be paying his student loan debt. -

Any Advice for Fall 2016 Applicant?
GradSchoolTruther replied to zombieD's topic in Political Science Forum
Political science programs love taking risks on people who struggles the first time around. Good luck. -
Many history departments are full of people who went to low-ranked programs. You can succeed, but you have to bust your tail while in grad school, as you can't coast on departmental prestige.

Any Advice for Fall 2016 Applicant?
GradSchoolTruther replied to zombieD's topic in Political Science Forum
You're good at trolling, especially if you think a 3.45 is a good grad school GPA. That's not good enough to keep funding at a lot of unranked programs. -
Dissertations: The Balance between Passion and Career-Smart
GradSchoolTruther replied to tingdeh's topic in History
Keep in mind your topic will probably change down the line, which faculty expect. -
Just don't flunk out of grad school.

What's Andrei Markovits' advice on where to go? -
What is the attraction of going to grad school if you had trouble as an undergrad? It doesn't get easier.

Do MA students ever get to be TAs or receive assistanships?
GradSchoolTruther replied to hippityhop123's topic in Teaching
Yes. -
Depends on whether you signed anything. Also, was the program cut? You should have known about this beforehand due to union rules regarding notice.

Berkeley Journalism Interview Test

If writing worries you, then this program probably isn't for you. -
NYT Article Re: Sense of Entitlement to Good Grades

It's quaint kittythrones believes she'll have the income needed to homeschool or send her kids to school in France. -
Complete your master's first, and then focus on teaching.

The discussions and pictures may be great, but does that help you land a job?

Political Science PhD for non academic Careers
GradSchoolTruther replied to soccerwiz90's topic in Political Science Forum
You could get a job with the U.N., but don't bank on it, unless you can be an unpaid intern. -
It's more competitive than you think. A master's just isn't good-enough to get a full-time teaching position in the U.S. at a community college. You need several years of being an adjunct to get the minimum teaching experience. Getting into a Ph.D. program is more realistic than getting a teaching job at this point.

What type of grades did you get in BC? You'll need to do better than a B average in graduate school.

Anyone else STILL on a waitlist?
GradSchoolTruther replied to floatingmolecule's topic in Waiting it Out
Ask how many students without funding get funding. It's not very common to grant funding after one year, as they can already see you're willing to pay. -
