Good luck to you. I'm in the process of applying to grad school for the exact same thing

I'm applying to grad school this fall for History Ph.D. programs, hoping to concentrate in late medieval/early modern European history (specifically on women's religious experience).

Here's my long list of places I'm applying:

UT-Austin
UNC-Chapel Hill
Rutgers
Cornell
UPenn
UC-Berkeley
Stanford
UCLA
Northwestern
Columbia
NYU
University of Chicago
Georgetown
George Washington

I have to cut those down to seven places by the end of the month. And I'm taking my GRE this coming Friday. So hopefully my scores will back up what I'm hoping to do. I'm also probably going to apply for a couple of fellowships abroad, but I think those are pretty big stretches.

I have to say also that where I want to go is being strongly influenced by where I want to live. The DC, NYC, and Chicago schools are looking pretty good right now. The western schools would actually be really good for my specific research interests, but I really don't wanna go West Coast. sad.

Where is everyone else applying?

I don't know if you know this or not, but you can send a certain number of scores to schools free of charge on the day that you take GRE. It's a one time offer. After that you have to pay an outrageous fee to send your scores to school. Do you have any top school choices you know now so you can send your scores on Friday free of charge?

(Now that I'm thinking about it I realize that the "end of the month" would be this upcoming Friday. I decided to go ahead and post this just in case some new GRE test takers are unaware of this option. )

I start my MBA a week from Monday! I had orientation yesterday, and it was so boring that I can only hope classes are not like that.

Good luck to you. The graduate schools I'm appying to are:

LSU
University of North Texas
Simmons
Syacuse
UNC-Greensboro

I would really like to go to any of the last 3. They all have very good library science programs and I really want to live on the East Coast. But more then likely, I'll end up going to either UNT or LSU. I really want to live on the East Coast,but don't want to wait year to establish residency before applying to school

i took the GRE today and made a 940......which for me is great (i made the same exact score 3 times on the SATs). especially with my learning disability and the fact i can't sit still for more than a few minutes

i'm applying to the University of North Carolina - Charlotte and North Carolina State University for Sociology

[steelercutie]

I go to UNCC for grad school in Health Admin and tonight I had a professor who specilizes in Sociology....I only got a 940 on my GRE too....good luck, UNCC is aight if you don't want a school with any school spirit. ( went to UGA for undergrad)

[squirrely girl]

i'm working on my master's in psychology at western kentucky university (just had my first day - woohoo to being a GA for a class of 130 intro to psych students)

i like the school so far. i get a little less than 8000 over 9 months and an out of state tuition waiver for my GA position.

in regards to the GRE's i got a 1230 (Q+V) and a 5.5 on the written

marissa

[steelercutie]

I am a GA too....and an Alpha Gam....you are lucky you get an out of state waiver, I have an easy job in a computer lab ....7200 for 10 monthes but I also graduate in MAy with 30,000 in debt

One thing i really regret about my undergrad days is that i never got the chance to go abroad to study. Now I'm thinking about going back to grad school for a masters in business and was wondering if there are any sort of abroad programs anywhere.
i dont want to merely vacation somewhere, but really be fully immerse in their culture. I guess i could just apply to a school abroad, but how would that look to future employers (because, of course, i'm only going to school for a bigger paycheck)?

anyone done this or know of anyone who has?

[RhoSigma2003]

I got my preliminary acceptance letter from graduate school a couple of weeks ago. I still have to have my interview, 2 letters of recommendation, 1000 hrs in the hospitality industry, and final grades. I will be attending Johnson and Wales University in Providence, RI fall of 2005.

Getting my MBA in Hospitality & Tourism Global Business Leadership with a concentration in Event Leadership.

I want to be an event planner.

NO GMAT for me!!!! WOOOOOOHOOOOOOO!

I don't know of too many non-research based grad programs that will sponsor major time abroad. The requirements of those programs are so stringent that it's probably next to impossible to go abroad for anything more than a vacation. My program sponsors summer internships abroad, and pays for us to go anywhere in the world as long as we'll be doing something architectural in nature (hence an air ticket to Thailand sitting on my desk).

I do know people who were in business school who went on smallish trips (2-3 weeks) sponsored by their school, to see how international business standards differ from our own. The best MBA programs (Harvard, Columbia, Stanford) might have some sort of exchange with LSE...but, those are limited to the best of the best.

Yes, MBA programs do provide opportunities to study abroad. There are also programs that are joint programs, etc. with other partner schools. And if that isn't enough, you can always intern at a company abroad.

LSE is an economics school, not an MBA type school. The only offering it has that's similar is that it's part of something called the TRIUM exec MBA with 2 other schools. It's an exec program and not a good one at that anyway.
