  1. I appreciate the overwhelming support. I decided to go to my lovely local library and try and get a few books for strategies. I've been drilling root words for the past couple days, and am now focusing on the quantitative section. It's a ridiculous road to go down, and the concept of having to go through this all over sounds atrocious. So, let's say my GRE goes badly (though I'm gonna try my hardest for that not to be the case). Do you think having over a 3.5 going into my senior year, with two semesters of student teaching, which are almost guaranteed A's, and over three years of Residence Life experience would make me a strong candidate? I know in certain fields the GRE is not weighted as heavily, but I also know that two schools I'm apply for are in the top 10 for their field. Obviously, I wanna aim for the best, but I'd hate for somebody to get picked over me simply so the college can pad their statistics. Thoughts? Alex
  2. So, I just recently(about a month ago) decided to go to grad school for Higher Education. I'm an Education major, so I had never even given it a thought before, and now it is all coming at me so fast. I take the GRE on the 23rd or June, and considering the excessive amount of tests Education majors have to pass to get certified, I figured it couldn't be that bad. How wrong I was. I've taken a few practice tests (mostly the verbal section) and find myself constantly doing horribly. We're talking 50% and below. Has anyone else had this problem? Anyone have words of encouragement? Tips? Tricks? Anything. I've been stressing out pretty throughly for this, and considering the sheer amount of words they suggest you learn (200?) I feel that it wouldn't be a good idea to try and memorize as many as I could in such a small time. My GPA is better than solid, and my Resume is pretty legit, so I dunno how badly a poor GRE score would affect me. Do you think it's ok to at first choose to not send my score out until I see what it is, then fork over the money to do it? I dunno, a lot of questions, a lot of confusion. I hope I can get some help. Alex
