  1. Hi! My background is in Child Development. I was wondering if you had considered a Child Development program? You can still get the education side of things but it will be strongly focused and your professors and colleagues will be like-minded. Just a thought! Good Luck!
  2. I want to start by saying I know how frustrating this is. I also want to say that I am not getting an MBA but I am hoping this gives you a touch of hope on your own journey to grad school. I applied to and got into my dream school. One of the top 5 programs in the nation... with a math GRE score that was abysmal. I not only did it not come anywhere near the schools admitted student average (up closer to 70%) , I placed in the bottom 15% of all math GRE test takers. Honestly, I would apply. If you don't get in you can retake the test or adjust your program expectations. I imagine that if you have a strong essay and some quality experience, the admissions teams will consider those before a test score. Good Luck!
  3. Hi! I am starting grad school in the fall! I'm pumped. As part of my program I will be in class part-time and working full time. My program has some recommendations that if you aren't employed in the field, social work or human services, that you volunteer in the field. I can't afford to volunteer a lot of hours but found a perfect position that suits my skills and meets the schools recommendation... and its PAID (not much but still paid)! I was offered the position, which I accepted. In the interview I asked about flexibility in the schedule, as it bumps up with my current job. This job is only 10 hours a week. I can't and won't quit my other position that is a lot more hours, that I love and have been doing for years and that pays really well for the hours. Anyway, my new employer seemed a bit annoyed when I asked about scheduling. It was something I discussed in the first interview because its important but now the "flexibility" they said was there doesn't really seem to be. I guess I'm just venting and stressed because I wanted this job to fit well with my other and it looks like it might not be as smooth and seamless as I thought. I worried that if things don't go well I'll have 2 unhappy employers and a super stressed me... The one employer I have been with for years is just wonderful and is going through a lto of trouble to help me make this work. I just want them to know it's appreciated and that if shit hits the fan, I choose them. AHHHH! I'm stressed, can you tell?! And school hasn't even started yet... Send love and schematics for a time machine please.
  4. Our program required that you give a yes and pay your deposit by mid or late-April, the 20th I believe. It might take a couple weeks for them to work their way down the list. Good Luck!
  5. Yes. I heard 3/23 I believe? I'm assuming at this point that you have received your decision.
  6. I am starting UNC in the fall. Luckily I already live in the area. Congrats to everyone who got in!
