Currently I am in a bad situation. I lost my job at Circuit City Inc in 2009 when they went out of business. I enjoyed my job it was not hard to sit behind a desk and approve/deny financing. But I also loved the people that I worked with that is what made the job fun and interesting. So when Circuit city went out of business I decided to fall back on my degree (Bachelors of Science in Psychology). I worked at residential treatment facility with at risk youth and I also worked a group homes. Those jobs were ok. I didn’t really enjoy it. The pay wasn’t that great and I had to deal with bad kids that wanted to try to fight me, curse at me, and harm themselves and others.

So now I am unemployed and I think this a good time to change fields/career path. So I thought about Physical Therapy. From what I understand it is a great field to get into. The only thing is I am nervous that once I apply that the schools are not going to take me in the program because my undergrad GPA is low. I do have to take prerequisite courses (physics, chemistry, anatomy) and take the GRE before entering the program but will it be enough for me to get As in those courses and try to score high on the GRE? Or should I just do something completely different. I don’t know please help me figure this out.

I feel like I can’t function in everyday activities, like work & school. I already have my Bachelor’s degree, but I had a low GPA, due to my disability. It feels like everything is hard to me. Is this a mental blockage or what? I would like to go to Grad School & get my Master’s degree & get a PhD, but looking @ my school’s course descriptions, I freak out. I feel dumb. I think I’d be wasting my time if I continue with school because I don’t think I’ll make it to Grad School since I don’t do well on research papers & I feel like the GRE is too difficult. It seems like I can’t function normally like other people, & as far as employment goes, I can’t keep a job because people say I work too slow. If I were to rush, anxiety would kick in & I’d have a panic attack or accidentally mess up or break something. I’m getting disability benefits, but I don’t want to make such small income for the rest of my life. I want to know how I can make myself more functional.

I am planning to enter grad school next fall. I didn’t realize how competitive job market was, and this is one of the reasons I am choosing to go to graduate school. In the meantime, I am unemployed, and I do not have the money to apply to schools. Transcripts, applications fees, envelopes, stamps for letters of recommendation, GRE exam… I don’t have the money. One private school waived my application fee, but the other schools are public. How do I pay for these things?

People whom I know have told that I have very good chance of getting into a very good university. Please tell me about life of a student pursuing MS.

What do u suggest? also please tel me about positive points of higher education(MS in computer science) in US. Please help me as this is one of the most important decisions of my life. Thank you!

Hi, I m a fresh pharmacy graduate from INDIA. What course is BEST for me to go for in USA…..1)MBA in health care administration 2)Regulatiry affairs 3)MBA in ph.administration

It will be really gr8 if u friends n elders could help me over this quiry of mine. Thanks.

I have completed my BE in Mechanical Engineering from Mumbai, India. I am done with TOEFL and GRE and have got decent scores in all 3 above. I am planning to do Post Graduation Course in Automotive Engineering (or any course related to Automotive like Combustion Engines, Vehicle Dynamics, etc.). I am trying for Winter Intake. I found out that there are very few courses that are offered in English. Kindly list them. I’ll see if I missed any course.

Also, if anybody can signify what is a TU, UN and an FH. Which is better with a job perspective? I personally find FH better as it imparts practical knowledge. However, my friends believe otherwise. According to them, TU is better then UN is better than FH. In that order. So I am pretty confused.

Social psychology – I have good Psychology GRE scores (95th percentile in social psych, 78th percentile in experimental psych), average scores on the general GRE (low math, very high verbal), an OK 3.45 undergrad GPA, and a handful of completely non-psych degrees – 2 associates, 1 bachelors and an MBA (I didn’t major in psych, but I have a broad education). And I have no academic lab or research experience. I’ve read dozens of psych textbooks, read most of the psych ‘classics’, and have taken about 5 undergrad psych courses. Do I have a chance to get into a social (industrial/personality/developmental) psych PhD program?

I love psychology, but stupidly went after all these degrees that would "help me get a job". I hate business and unintelligent micromanagers, I’m much more suited to a life of research and writing and experimenting. So I’m just curious about what people here with experience in this sort of thing think.
Anyway, I’m not staking any decisions on the answers here.

I am a Computer Science student and going to finish my course in May 2008. The fact is I want to go for a MBA Degree instead of a job right after.

I am from India, and very much admant about going abroad for higher education. It’s just a dream of mine. Well the problem is I will be a complete fresher with no work experiance, with only 15 years of education. Now if I want to apply for UK or US universities they would demand for a work experiance of at least 2 years to do a MBA. US universities demands for 16 years of formal education.

Someone told me that there are some Universities in US which do accept freshers into MBA but I have no idea which ones. Can anyone help me out with something. I am in a great crisis of proper information. I have heard about TOEFL, IELTS, GRE and GMAT etc, but can’t make a path out of it. My first choice is US.

I am confused and unable to figure out anything proper. Please do help me. I would be glad to have your suggestions.

Thank You.

Hi all
I am trying to do my PhD in USA but it seems difficult without having GRE done. I am already holding a job and I need it to get promoted. I don’t need any financial assistance for it. I can not do the GRE as its not related to my field and I am very bad with math and physics. I need easy and short PhD course no matter what the ranking is, it have to be on US and not online degree.
So please help

I’m preparing for my DATs. My friend is taking KAPLAN’s GRE prep course, and he says that it is very helpful. My fear is that I pay 00 (Thats how much it costs) and I end up wasting time. They have this "higher score gaurantee" thing where I can retake the course If I feel unready but the truth is, that’s more time out of my life, from my job, from my studies, so I don’t really see it as much of a plus.

SO has anyone had any experience with Major Test Prep Courses (such as SAT, GRE, MCAT ect) and can offer me advice? Should I just stick with buying a prep book and read it or shell out the cash? Mind you, I want to get a very high score.

I got my bachelors in Studio Fine Art and would like to become a landscape architect. I do not have any real experience in the field, but i will be taking a CAD intro class at the local community college to better my chances of getting into Grad School as well as a GRE study course. My question is, should I try to get a second bachelors in landscape architecture or will it hurt me when trying to find a job? My GPA from school was 3.1 the last sixty hours and I am still struggling to write my letter of intent for Grad school. I’m not even sure if its that good, seeing that i don’t have a whole lot of experience. So would i have better chances of getting into a BLA program or a MLA program? Also if any one could tell me how long it takes to get a second bachelors it would be a great help.
Thank you!

I’m wanting to become a vet once I get out of highschool. Right now I’m in the 10th grade, I’m taking the highest science related courses I can right now. But I just don’t understand where to go after highschool.

Do you need to go to a 4 year college or university majoring in some kind of science, THEN afterwards you apply to one of the 28 vet universities? When exactly do you take the GRE and other tests that a lot of vet universities require? Which kind of college/university would I go to straight out of highschool, graduate or undergraduate? After you finally finish becoming a vet, will you have a master, bachelors, or what? About how many years does it take, and does that include internships or on the job training?

I’m just so confused! It would be so great if someone could kind of make a step by step guide. I’ve searched the internet but every website just leaves me with more questions. =(

I am scheduled to take the General version of the Exam. I didn’t get as much studying in as I would have liked because of my job and the date has snuck up on me to test. I would like someone’s input on the difficulty level…

Give the student a couple research topics to choose from, a computer with word process(full function), a dictionary, an APA(or whatever the format) guide, full access to an academic search engine, and 5 hours. Let the student write a 5 page research paper (with source and everything).

would anyone think this could be more effective than GRE in predicting the test-taker’s chance of success in graduate school?
also explain.
hehe, I know… GRE does a terrible job predicting success in grad school…

I mean, all it is testing is vocabularies which you will never use in real life…
the method I was talking about is not as easy as it sounds.

the test taker needs to be pretty damn good at researching to score high on it.
and besides, GRE is not effective at all. I believe for some programs, such as geology and psychology, studies show the correlation between the GRE score and level of success in grad school to be negative (non-significant though).
K, I was comparing it to the GRE…

besides, I just came up with the idea like 10 minutes before I posted the question.

besides, for most programs, to be able to do research is THE most important skill for students. And this method focuses on the test-taker’s research abilities.

a five page research should not be that hard to complete in 5 hours.
Oh, K, another thing I need to make clear is, I was asking "whether it would be more effective THAN GRE in PREDICTING the test-taker’s chance of success in grad school."

I was not saying to replace GRE with it…

for god’s sake, I was not trying to come up with a standardized test for graduate admission.

I’m a real estate appraiser (considered self-employed) and I’m taking the GRE in February to try to get into a Master’s program so I can get a better job. When I file my quarterly estimated taxes for April, can I write off a GRE study guide book? Can I write off the 0 fee to take the GRE test, too?

I need as many write-offs as I can get since I’m shelling out most of the money I’ve made so far for LASIK surgery in March. I know I can write off 7.5% of the surgery, but the surgery is going to cost me just about everything I’ve made for the last three months, minus my regular expenses (gas, food, health insurance, car repairs, etc). Plus I have to take a few days off of work to heal before I can go out driving around again.
Well that’s great then! I thought I was going to have to eat most of the LASIK cost and still get taxed on the remainder. Didn’t seem fair to me, but neither do any taxes for that matter.
So I can write off all 00 for the entire surgery since it’s more than 7.5% of my gross pay? Gosh, then there won’t be anything left to tax me on Oh, if only I could do that every quarter…

I want to take the GRE in a month. I have a really good undergrad GPA but SUCK at test taking. The program I am applying to requires the GRE, but there is not an entrance score requirement. I’m thinking about just going and taking it on the computer and not messing with studying. (I have been out of school for 5 yrs. and have job experience.) To get accepted, they just want you to have a good undergrad GPA, 3 letters of reference, work experience, and TAKEN the GRE…what would you do?

I took the GRE recently and it is the only opportunity I had to submit scores to prospective programs. Bottomline is I did horrible on it. I have an above average GPA and I have outstanding recommendations and job experience.

How should I market myself to deflect attention, or explain my poor performance on my exam?
