PACE University CDP Spring 2009

I applied to the Accelerated program at Pace. I took my MAT's in the beginning of Oct and 2 days after they received my scores, they notified me by email regarding acceptance!! I'm so excited! Have you heard yet? I've been dying to talk to someone about the program!

Hello Bluemonday CONGRATS . I have also been accepted to the program. I submitted my MAT scores on October the 22nd, and found out exactly 1 week later, the 29th. You can click on my name. It will take you to my profile. E-mail me so that we can speak in greater detail. I look forward to speaking with you.

CONGRATS to you too!!

I'm new on here and still don't quite know how to use it, I clicked on your profile, but did not see your email... am i missing something???

Did they send you notification by email also? I was in shock and read it over 15 times...asking everyone if I was accepted. I think I was in denial...haha.

Anyway, is my email posted??? maybe you can email me? I feel so silly.:trout:

LOL. Yes they did e-mail me. Don't feel silly. I will try e-mailing you. :)

Check your e-mail. I just sent it.

Hi,

Here are my grades:

1st Bachelor's Degree GPA: 3.2 (not that great)

AP I: A

AP II: A

Micro: B+

Chem, Psych: in progress

Stats: C+

MAT score: 409 (a bit less than average, according to the MAT website)

Also, I have no hospital experience, so if you don't either, don't be discouraged, just write an outstanding essay (proofread) and get your resume professionally edited. If this is your top school, do everything you can to spruce up your application, I definitely think that's what gave me an "edge" because my grades aren't that spectacular. They request 2-3 recommendations, I sent 3. Not sure what was the deciding factor in my acceptance, but whatever I did, it worked!

I decided not to take the GRE's because I believe it is similar to the SAT's but much harder, or so I heard. That frightens me since I did terrible on my SAT's and I cannot stand studying for Math just to take this exam. So anyway, not to say the MAT's are any easier, it is definitely NOT easy, but I can tell you that I guessed on tons of questions and managed to get above 400, which was my goal. I borrowed 2 MAT study guides from my library and did 10 practice exams and studied some of the material for about 3-4 weeks, however, I did not study Vocab because I knew it would take a lifetime to learn them. Turns out, my actual MAT had absolutely nothing that I studied for, it had mostly Vocab people don't use on a daily basis. Can't guarantee this will happen to you, but it definitely happened to me!! I had to just run with it, and I thought I totally bombed it.

Anyway, taking the MAT or GRE is entirely what you think you are better at. Take GRE if you are good in Math and English. Take MAT's if you are better at Humanities.

Either way, they are both really hard and requires lots of study time!!

If you have any other questions, feel free to ask.

Good luck!
