and while that's true, they said nothing about me having to have work experience before applying. because if they did say that, then i would have never applied. i had talked to the woman before i sent everything off to make sure i stood some sort of chance. i was very upfront with her and she told me that with my GRE score, my cumulative GPA, and my major GPA, that i had a great chance. Well, i'm sorry but there's a HUGE difference between a 3.0 and a 3.8.
and Glitterkitty, i came 60 points below the minimum but i called the department and personally asked them if they thought i should retake the GRE's before applying again and they told me no, that with my GPA, i should be fine.
Basically, i feel like i was lied to because i would not be making a big deal about this if i knew i didnt stand a chance. But i was strung along into thinking i could get in.
and yall are right, there is probably something 10 times better out there for me. i just hate the fact that i feel like i'm starting over with 2 months left before i graduate.
