Thank you, I will look into this text as well!

Thank you so much for your insight!! I really appreciate it. I will begin planning for my Statement of Purpose this summer. Thanks again and good luck as you start your doctoral studies!!

Thank you, I will look into Creswell's text!

Thanks to both of you for your input! When I took the GRE 4 years ago my Writing Score was higher (4.5) while my Verbal and Quant scores were lower. Do you think they would look at the 4.5 I got before or weigh in on the 3.5 more since it is current? I am also working on a thesis for a specialists program I am enrolled in while I am working, so I hope that I can use part of that for my application. Also speaking of publications, I wanted to ask about the extent to which having publications are important to the doctoral application process? I have a conference publication on which I am the fourth author, but other than that I am not yet published.

Hello All! I am hoping to apply for my doctoral studies in ed research or policy for Fall 2013 admissions. I recently took my GRE and got 160 V, 160Q, and 3.5 for writing. Is 3.5 too low of a writing score?

Hello All, I am a graduate student starting work on my thesis. I hope to do document analyses with policy papers from school districts for my thesis. I wanted to ask you all if you can recommend good texts on qualitative methods for research, specifically using document analysis as one of the methods? Thanks!
