Thanks again for the responses! I've now discovered that since I'm applying to teaching credential/MA programs, most do not require the GRE. The only schools (out of the ones I'm applying to) that require the GRE are Harvard, Stanford and Vanderbilt. Not sure if this helps anyone, but below is an incomplete list of schools with teacher credential/MA programs that do not require the GRE: 1. Columbia Teachers College (Communication, Computing and Technology in Education, English Education) 2. UCLA 3. University of Oregon 4. University of Southern California MAT 5. Universityof Washington MAT These are just schools I'm applying to, but I hope it helps someone!

Hello everyone - I'm currently in the process of preparing for the GRE (which I'm taking in a few weeks!). My scores have budged a bit, but not as much as I'd like. I was wondering how important you've all found the GRE to be in the context of your entire application for Masters in Education programs. Thanks in advance!

Very nice. Thanks everyone! Yes, I would feel like a fake if I had to convince myself in my SOP. Thanks again!

I'm currently finished with my Junior year at a large public ivy and plan on applying to Education Masters programs next year. Here are my stats: GRE Score: 1100 **just took a practice test** GPA: 3.5 (English major w/History and Education [theory] minors) Work Experience: Teaching intern with a TFA affiliate this summer, taught with a well known charter school organization last summer, and have volunteered in education the past few years Undergrad Institution(Public, Private, Ivy, etc..): Large public ivy (similar to University of Connecticut, Penn State, UC Davis) Research Experience: -- Applying for PhD or Masters: Masters Program: M.A. w/certification unless otherwise noted. What Schools Are You Applying To: Vanderbilt, Harvard (Teacher Education Program [TEP] or Technology, Innovation and Education), Stanford STEP, Columbia Teachers College Communication, Computing and Technology in Education (w/certification), UCLA, University of Oregon, University of Washington - So what do you all think? With that GPA, GRE and work experience, do you think I have a chance at Stanford STEP, Columbia, UCLA, and Harvard? I looked through the Education acceptance post on this board, but a lot of people had GREs 1300+ and were applying to PhD programs. Congrats to everyone that's been accepted and best of luck to everyone else! Hoping for helpful responses for me and the rest of the community!
