I had to drop out of grad school after only 1 week b/c the load of classwork, work, new house, & wedding stuff proved to be too much. Add on some drama & personal issues & while I made a good decision, it's one that still haunts me. I now have to go back & reapply to begin again next fall & get that Masters in Literature. I just really want to focus on school & do well rather than be one of those people that just show up & do a half-assed job in the hopes of passing. That kind of crap does not cut it in grad school.

This time, I'll be applying to schools closer to my new home so UC Riverside may *crosses fingers* be my new school. Being a realist, I'll also apply to other schools close to home in the hopes that they'll accept me. They did once before so I don't see why I wouldn't be able to get in again but you just never know.

I dropped out of my first grad school program for education because it just didn't feel right, and I wasn't happy at the school or with the program. I reapplied to the school that I probably should have chosen in the first place, got in, and now I couldn't be happier.

The moral of the story is: YOU CAN DO IT!

Just wondering
 

I am thinking about going to graduate school in the biology field. The only problem is that i am not sure what i want to do my research in. There are many things that interest me and I am not sure if an interest is enough to commit to for so long of time.

I was just wondering if anyone could share with me how they choose what their research was and maybe some advise about how they narrowed down their school choices.

For me, money and location isnt a factor as i (finally) got my college fund from my parents and if i had to, i can pay for things myself. I am just saying this cause so far most advise i have gotten is people making choices on school and research based on program closest to their location and/or could afford cost of school, any finally these two factors are not a hinderance to me.

thanks for the advise, Taylor

studying for the June LSAT!

I applied & am waiting to hear from the University of La Verne if I got accepted into their Masters program. *sigh* The classes start in June & end in March. It's intense but I work better under pressure b/c I'm a huge procrastinator if I'm not motivated & stressed. ;)

I'm headed to law school in the fall - I'm also very excited.

I'll be heading to law school in the fall as well.

I finished my first year of grad school today! One down, one to go! :D

I had my last grad class on Tuesday and can't wait to graduate. I have three weeks to graduation as of Sunday!:D

Congratulations, that's great.

Congrats Soror!
I am counting down to my graduation on Sunday from Grad School! I passed econ!!!!!

I was recently accepted into the Educational Theatre/English program at NYU for Graduate School! I start in September.

I got my Masters degree last year. They offer a post-Masters certificate at my school for my field, but I am very busy with my full-time job right now.

And this Tuesday was my final German class. I took German at the community college, since they offered the class at night.

When I took the GRE, I quit in the middle of the test and still got a good score. Depending on what school you apply to and what field you are trying to go into, depends on what areas they care about.

For engineering, the analytical and math sections were of most importance to me. GA Tech (the school I did not go to) wanted a combined 1300 on those two sections alone.

It is just like the SAT except there's an analytical section. The analytical section is what I'd concentrate the most one learning and mastering.

After I completed grad school, I found out that I didn't even need to take the GRE! Go figure....:rolleyes: But, it's ok.:)
