congratulations!!! and thank you

wow, thanks modern_muslimah! I was afraid of that...it would be so great to get a scholarship or work opportunity ( :

bump! Phyl has great insight...hopefully more folks answer, too. and congratulations : )

Thank you falling_leaves and modern_muslimah

I don't know anything about Queens, but good question, I hope a Queens student/alumni answers soon! As long as they're ALA accredited, I bet folks will say it's a good choice.

I got a couple of answers to this question on another college forum, but I'm still interested in answers from all of you here on grad cafe! I don't know what I'll do if I can't get financial aid for an online program : /

Thanks for your answer : ) Finances are a big concern for me, too. Are you applying for spring 2012?

Oh, how I envy those who have just stuck with their initial plans! HAHA I love researching the different schools out there! So far, I see that any undergrad degree is acceptable but some programs require programming and statistics courses prior to acceptance.

Thank you for the tips about my major! It's nice to hear from someone attending a program. I keep hearing positive things about Rutgers...

You have very good advice. I don't know how I'd explain a degree in graphic design helping to prepare me for MLIS...After reading your story, I feel encouraged

Sorry if this topic has already been started--I looked everywhere and didn't find it, but feel free to point me in the right direction! Did anyone receive scholarships/grants/assistantships/etc for an online program? I'm wondering how that works since you're not on campus. There's only one ALA accredited program in my state and I doubt we'll be moving so I will be applying to SJSU and other out of state online programs. Thank you : )

Why did you choose/ have your heart set on this particular school? Also, I know there are rankings I can look at, but I'm more interested in what regular folks think about certain programs : ) So please give your opinion on other schools, too, if you have one. Thanks for replying!

Went to community college, earned A.A. Transferred to 4 year uni...things went downhill. Took time off to work full time, now I'm ready to attend community college again to ease back into being a student and "start fresh". My gpa right now is 2.9, I have about 2 years experience as a circulation assistant, my bachelors will be in either graphic design, sociology, or criminology. I just want to know if anyone has had a crazy undergrad career like I have. Did you still get into a program? Will I be frowned upon for taking time off/changing majors all over the place/going to multiple schools? I fully intend to raise my GPA, have good letters of recommendation, write a nice personal statement, and do well on the GRE. *sigh* Thanks for replying
