I would be down to join this!

Good luck on the GRE everyone! I took mine in May. It was tough, but I felt so much relief when I got a decent score after all the studying. You can do it!

How is everyone doing? Asked for any letters of recc yet / gotten started on your SOPs or writing samples? I just finished my writing sample completely (though I'm sure I'll edit it again soon) and have written the first draft of my SOPs... so about 5 edits to go! I'm waiting on one last letter of recommendation, then a quick resume and I'm finished. Hoping to apply by the first / second week of July since it's online programs, not traditional ones. I'm also hoping to start in Spring 2018 if they allow me to.

Chiming in to say I agree with every other poster. I feel that describing the movies briefly and including an extra page for important / contextual stills would probably be better.

Have you looked into what your program says they are looking for? I am applying to English programs, so most schools say I don't need a Q score at all. Only verbal. If you want to retake it, I third the Kaplan book! Really helped me. I had the 2016 one and my score raised 8 points in verbal in a month using that book to get a handle on how to answer questions, and what vocabulary comes normally. Good luck with whatever you decide!

I currently teach in Korea and have for the last 4 years (going on my 5th year now.) Message me if you would like.

Hi, glad to see this thread! I'm currently in the process of preparing my documents to apply for Spring 2018 for an MA! I'm going to apply to Bowling Green, Texas Tech and Arizona State. Each has a "different" program but all are interesting to me! My only problem is that I currently live in South Korea and can't move back for school - so my degree has to be an "online" program that I can attend from here. This limits my choices and I only really liked these programs (with BGSU/TT tied for my top schools)... so I'm nervous I am not applying to enough schools and won't be accepted I'm almost finished writing my writing sample as I've been out of school for 5 years and don't have my old papers. I have 4 people writing my recommendations currently and I asked them to be done by the end of June so I could apply at the beginning of July. I'm really excited!
