Hello!
In my university, I have been very involved in student leadership. I've been a Resident Assistant, Senior Resident Assistant (head/leader of an RA staff), on the university's academic integrity board, student conduct board, peer mentor, and have founded a club. I want to continue working with college students, so I am pursuing a masters in student affairs/college personnel/higher education (so many different program names)!
I will be applying this upcoming fall for programs that start in the fall of 2016. I'm looking for a prestigious program that focuses on student counseling and development. I'd also like a program with plenty of assistantships.
What are your thoughts?
Also, is it true that student affairs programs that "require" the GRE don't place much weight on it? I have a stellar GPA, but will be taking the GRE at the end of the summer. I'd like to only have to take it once.
